To support and enable prepay and online payments in Brazil, Sinch provides the Boleto Bancário payment method to all of our customers in Brazil alongside the credit card payment options. The Boleto Bancário payment amount includes local taxes.

 

A prefilled Boleto Bancário barcode must be requested by the user and can be emailed to the recipient, downloaded or printed. Only one active barcode is available, and payment must be made to create a new barcode. The Boleto barcode is cancelled by the bank if it has not been used to make payment after seven business days. After the cancellation, a new Boleto can be generated.

 

Whilst waiting for the Boleto payment to impact your account, if you need to update your available account credit sooner, you have the option to top-up by credit card.

Once your account has been successfully upgraded, your account balance will be credited by your chosen amount. You can keep track of your payments and view receipts on the Payment history page.
