PagSeguro Acquires Wirecard Brazil

São Paulo, Brazil, August 21, 2020 - PagSeguro Internet S/A ("PagSeguro"), a wholly-owned and fully-controlled subsidiary of PagSeguro Digital Ltd. (New York Stock Exchange: ticker PAGS), signed a binding agreement (subject to approvals by the Brazilian Central Bank and antitrust authorities) to acquire 100% of Wirecard Brazil S.A. ("Wirecard Brazil"), a digital financial technology company, from the Wirecard Group.

Wirecard Brazil has an innovative and experienced team that has built powerful online payment solutions with more than 200 thousand customers, including e-commerce platforms, marketplaces and virtual store platforms. In addition, their online solutions are available through application programming interfaces (APIs) and are integrated into more than 40 virtual store platform systems (e-commerce).

Wirecard offers a broad suite of multifunctional online payment solutions, including:

  • E-commerce: Several checkout and payment options used on thousands of merchant websites.
  • Recurrence: Merchants can easily schedule recurring charges and payments from their customers, such as periodic subscriptions and monthly fees.
  • Split Payments (with and without custody): Widely used by marketplaces to split payments and commissions in real time.
  • Anti-FraudScreening: Risk models and structured processes to guarantee one of the highest approval rates in the market (98.5% approval), with low chargeback rates.

For PagSeguro, the acquisition of Wirecard Brazil will bring several advantages, starting with incremental Total Payment Volume. In addition, the combination of key strengths of PagSeguro (brand, complete portfolio of POS devices, reconciliation of transactions and PagBank) and of Wirecard Brazil (a dynamic suite of online solutions that are complementary to PagSeguro's core solutions), will allow us to offer broader payment options and integrated end-to-end digital payment accounts that are 100% omnichannel for millions of customers.
