Visa today announced the launch of Visa Checkout in Brazil, the online checkout service intended to enable consumers to make purchases quickly and easily from any device.

Futebolcard, a Brazilian service that enables soccer fans to purchase tickets for games in 12 different stadiums, is the first merchant to offer Visa Checkout.

"In an increasingly digital world, people are spending more and more time browsing, shopping and paying on their mobile devices," Percival Jatoba, vice president of products for Visa do Brasil, said in a statement. "As screens get smaller, it’s more important than ever that shoppers are able to make fast, easy payments in just a few clicks. In the U.S., shoppers made purchase more often when using Visa Checkout compared to customers using other payment options."

Visa and FutebolCard are leveraging an existing partnership. Since 2007, fans have had the option to choose Visa Passfirst at the Futebolcard website, a service that allows fans to purchase stadium seats online with their Visa cards, which then act as a digital ticket to the stadium. To enter, fans just need to bring their Visa card and swipe it at dedicated turnstiles.
