Banco do Brasil announced this Wednesday (9) the launch of a digital account in dollars, exclusively for its individual account holders. Named Conta Easy!, the solution was created in partnership with BB Americas Bank. 
Easy Account allows customers to make transfers without fees from their individual checking account at Banco do Brasil directly to their digital dollar account at BB Americas, creating a reservation for their international travel or other purposes. According to the bank, the solution is available to BB account holders who have not been BB Americas customers in the last 12 months.
BB pointed out that, upon opening its Easy Account, the customer will receive a Visa debit card, which will make it possible to make purchases in more than 44 million commercial establishments around the world. In addition, abroad the customer can also make withdrawals at ATMs, the so-called ATMs (Automated Teller Machine, in English). The card can also be used in digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and PayPal.
Through the agreement that BB Americas has with the companies Allpoint, Presto, Plus and Star, it is also possible to make free withdrawals with the card at around 40 thousand ATMs in the United States.
Among the differentials of the new digital account, there is a financial protection insurance for deposits up to US$ 250 thousand, zero opening fee and zero maintenance costs. There is also a 24-hour service available daily in call centers that serve in Portuguese, English and Spanish.
Opening the Easy Account can be done directly in the Banco Brasil application. When accessing the app, the customer chooses the “Exchange” menu and selects the “BB Americas Account” option. Then, you are directed to the secure BB Americas website, where you will need to upload documents online (CNH or RG with CPF and proof of residence).
