Guide to getting a Card

The Banco do Brasil credit card stands out for having no annual fee on its basic models and for its easy approval process for account holders. While other banks require a minimum income of R$ 2,000, BB approves starting from R$ 1,500.

Furthermore, the points program is one of the most advantageous on the market, with direct conversion into airline miles.

Data from the Central Bank shows that Banco do Brasil (BB) has one of the lowest revolving interest rates among major banks, which reduces the cost of credit for those who need to pay their bill in installments.

  • Providing inconsistent information: Discrepancies between name, CPF (Brazilian tax identification number), or address between documents and registration will result in automatic rejection.
  • Ignore the credit score: Trying to apply for the card with a score below 700 drastically reduces your chances; first, clear your name.
  • Failure to prove sufficient income: Submitting an old payslip or an incomplete declaration may be considered insufficient.
  • Having many recent inquiries: Each inquiry to your CPF (Brazilian tax identification number) reduces your score; avoid applying for multiple cards at the same time.
  • Forgetting to update your registration at Banco do Brasil: If you are already an account holder, check if your information is up to date in the app.
