Brazil, Mexico, the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK — your customers are already there. The only thing stopping you from reaching them is the operational complexity of going live. FT3 handles it all, so you can focus on selling.
Accepting Visa and Mastercard feels like enough. But in the markets you want to reach, it's not even close. Local consumers pay with local methods — and if you don't offer them, they don't buy.
In Brazil, 45% of ecommerce now runs through PIX. In Mexico, 68% of the population has no bank card. In the Netherlands, 73% of buyers use iDEAL. A US business accepting only cards is invisible to the majority of each market.
To access local payment rails at the right rates, you typically need a legal entity in-market. Setting up a Brazilian Ltda, a Dutch BV, or a Mexican SAPI de CV correctly — with the right structure, banking, and tax registration — is where most businesses get stuck.
GDPR in Europe. Tax registration across EU member states. Brazil's complex fiscal framework. Mexico's SAT requirements. Every market has rules that trip up businesses who try to navigate them without local knowledge.
A few markets to spark ideas — illustrations of how local payment reality shapes a launch, not the limits of where we work. Wherever your opportunity is, FT3 gets you live: on the ground in every region through a combination of our own direct presence and a curated network of trusted partners, coordinated through FT3 Nexus. We build your expansion around where your customers are — not a fixed list of countries.
PIX now drives 45% of Brazilian ecommerce and is heading to 51% by 2027. Merchants who add PIX see an average 16% revenue lift and 25% customer growth. A local Ltda entity unlocks the best rates and full payment rail access.
OXXO Pay lets 87 million unbanked Mexicans pay for online purchases at any of 20,000+ OXXO stores. SPEI is the instant bank transfer backbone. Without these, you're locking out the majority of Mexico's consumers before they even reach checkout.
iDEAL's dominance — 73% of all Dutch online transactions — is unmatched in any Western market. The Netherlands is transitioning to Wero, Europe's new account-to-account payment network. A Dutch BV entity is your gateway to the wider European market.
Bancontact is Belgium's dominant payment method, used by 80% of the population. Often paired with a Netherlands BV for a combined Benelux market entry — one entity, two markets.
The UK's Open Banking framework is the world's most advanced, enabling instant account-to-account payments. Post-Brexit, a UK Ltd entity operates separately from EU — often a first European step for US businesses due to the language advantage.
Wherever your customers are, we can get you there — through our own direct presence and FT3 Nexus's curated network of trusted local partners. Tell us the market; we'll map the fastest path to serving it.
