*The source changed its categories in 2021 and 2024, see the "Details" tab for more information.
Supplementary notes
In 2022, the source stated it made two changes to the categories used in previous years. These include a combination of "credit cards" with "charge/deferred debit cards" and the split of BNPL from "POS financing" (which itself was added as a new category in 2020). The latter change was made to atone for the "growing importance of BNPL". This seems to have been reverted in 2023 - for the year 2022.
In 2024, the "debit card" and "prepaid card" categories were combined into a single category called "Debit and Prepaid Cards".
The figures have been taken from several publications. No figures were available for 2018 as the source did not release any reports that year.

Most used in-store (POS) payment methods in Brazil 2017-2025, with 2030 forecast
Most POS payments in Brazil were performed with cash until 2018, but the market share of credit cards had overtaken cash by 2022. Credit cards and debit cards combined made up ** percent of all in-store payments in the Latin American country in 2025, although there was only a slight increase in their use since the coronavirus pandemic. A bigger shift can be seen at digital wallets, whose market share changed from percent in 2019 to ** percent in 2025. This might have to do with the introduction of Pix - a real-time payments service that operates in both e-commerce and physical stores, through the use of QR codes. The majority of Pix' transaction volume is on a P2P basis, but it is expected it will increasingly be used for the purchase of services and goods.
