“Interacting with others through email and social media and reading the news are the main activities Brazilians perform online. However, internet usage has much more room for growth in Brazil, and providing trustworthy online reviews and enhancing anti-fraud tolls are essential for the popularization of financial transactions online. The current economic scenario challenges online retailers to offer not only strengthened security measures but also unbeatable prices to drive consumers’ interest to the world of online sales.”
– Renata Pompa de Moura, Research Manager
