according to SEBRAE

São Paulo, July 29, 2021 - PagSeguro Digital Ltd., or PagBank PagSeguro (NYSE: PAGS), which promotes innovative solutions and inclusion in financial services and payments, announces that it was recognized as the most popular and preferred point-of-sale (POS) provider by Brazilian merchants, according to research conducted by SEBRAE (a Brazilian industry group providing services to support micro and small businesses) in "Uso de Maquininha 2021" (click here). The data revealed that one third of Brazilian merchants (34%) use PagBank PagSeguro POS primarily because of the benefits and contributions to their businesses.

The preference for PagBank PagSeguro extended to all the Brazilian regions.

In the other regions, PagBank PagSeguro was also recognized as the leader: 33% in the Midwest, 32% in the Northeast, 27% in the South and 26% in the North.

The research indicated that the multiple benefits offered to merchants are the main reasons why they choose PagBank PagSeguro to be their POS provider. According to the interviewees, 76% confirmed choosing PAGS due to a more competitive pricing policy, 52% confirmed choosing PAGS due to a free POS rental policy and 43% confirmed choosing PAGS due to the faster prepayment the company offers, since PagBank PagSeguro's users are automatically prepaid right after the card transaction is complete, even during the weekends, a highly demanded feature by merchants to manage their working capital needs for their businesses.

Another highlight was the score from 0 to 10 in some of the study's questions. Some of the favorable results for PagBank PagSeguro's performance included improving safety for businesses (score of 8.3), supporting in sales (score of 8.4), and the most positive indicator, customer satisfaction (score of 8.6).

"We constantly invest in new technologies and solutions aiming to support even more the Brazilian entrepreneurs who need efficiency in financial services, with the best balance between price and safety. Our clients can benefit from multiple advantages that our point-of-sales provides, such as no rental fee policy, 0% MDR for new merchants for a period, acceptance of all cards/networks and receipt of the cash right after that transaction is concluded, even during the weekends. Besides that, our clients gain access to a PagBank free digital account", says Ricardo Dutra, CEO of PagBank PagSeguro. "Recognizing our company as the preferred player in Brazilian payments services gives us stamina to pursue our mission to promote even broader financial inclusion in the country and foster the development of entrepreneurship in Brazil".
