OKTO Brings Pix Payments to Six A2FBR Betting Brands in Brazil

Brazil.- 25 August 2026 | www.zonadeazar.com OKTO Payments has gone live processing Pix payments across six A2FBR brands in Brazil, becoming one of the group’s strategic payment partners in the market.

The rollout covers Pinnacle, Matchbook, BetEspecial, Bolsa de Aposta, Fulltbet and BetBra and was completed through a coordinated deployment across all six platforms.

Six Brands Integrated

The new payment infrastructure is now operational across:

  • Pinnacle.
  • Matchbook.
  • BetEspecial.
  • Bolsa de Aposta.
  • Fulltbet.
  • BetBra.

OKTO developed a dedicated operational setup for each brand, adapting its infrastructure to A2FBR’s multi-brand structure.

Pix at the Centre of Integration

Pix processing sits at the heart of the partnership.

Brazil’s instant-payment system has become a central component of the country’s financial infrastructure and is particularly dominant within the betting industry.

Fast and stable payment processing has therefore become an important part of both customer conversion and overall player experience.

More Than 99% of Betting Payment Volume

Pix currently represents more than 99% of payment volume in Brazil’s betting sector.

Across the wider Brazilian economy, it also accounts for approximately 54.7% of all transactions.

In a market estimated to include around 25 million active bettors, reliable access to Pix has become a fundamental part of sportsbook infrastructure.

Internet Banking for A2FBR

The partnership extends beyond Pix processing.

A2FBR will also gain access to OKTO Payments’ Internet Banking platform, designed to centralise day-to-day merchant financial management.

The solution includes:

  • Real-time dashboard.
  • Detailed account statements.
  • Pix transfers.
  • Internal transfers.
  • Bill payments.
  • Tax payments.
  • Invoicing.
  • Multi-user approval workflows.
  • Granular user permissions.

The platform is intended to provide operators with greater control over treasury and financial operations.

Multi-Brand Integration

A central challenge of the project was delivering the same payment standard across six brands with their own operating structures.

OKTO created a dedicated setup behind each platform while maintaining consistent Pix performance across the group.

The model is designed to support large-scale operations while preserving flexibility between individual brands.

Statements

Leonardo Chaves, General Manager of OKTO Payments in Brazil, highlighted the complexity of the integration due to the scale of the rollout and the individual operating structures of the six brands.

He said OKTO’s infrastructure is specifically designed for demanding multi-brand environments combining Pix, treasury, banking, liquidity capabilities and dedicated operational support.

Rafael Tavares, CFO of A2FBR, said customer experience begins well before a wager is placed and depends fundamentally on trust throughout the payment journey.

He highlighted transparency, compliance, security and operational excellence as key criteria when selecting payment partners.

Financial Infrastructure as a Competitive Factor

In Brazil’s regulated betting market, payments have become a central component of customer experience.

Speed, availability and security can directly affect deposit conversion, retention and player confidence.

Integrating banking and treasury tools also enables operators to manage financial flows more efficiently through a centralised infrastructure.

Industry Context

The rapid adoption of Pix has transformed Brazil’s payments infrastructure and its impact is particularly significant across online betting.

Operators handling high transaction volumes require specialised providers capable of delivering stability, compliance and scalability in real time.

The OKTO Payments-A2FBR partnership reflects the growing strategic importance of payment platforms within Brazil’s regulated market.

Next Steps or Impact

With the integration now live across six brands, the partnership creates a foundation for wider adoption of OKTO products within the A2FBR ecosystem.

Combining Pix, banking tools, treasury management and liquidity capabilities creates a more integrated financial infrastructure.

For A2FBR, the agreement is designed to strengthen payment speed, reliability and security as the group continues expanding in the Brazilian market.
