PAGS

Pagseguro Digital Ltd.

A Brazilian payments and digital-banking company, PagSeguro Digital is best known for its Moderninha line of pocket-sized card readers that let street vendors and small shopkeepers accept card payments. Founded in 2006 by the internet portal UOL, it later launched PagBank, a full digital banking platform offering accounts, cards, loans, and transfers. Its Portuguese name literally means "safe payment," and it went public in New York in 2018 while remaining focused on Brazil.
