Conductor, which has served financial institutions, fintech and merchants for more than twenty years, recently embarked on a major initiative to expand its acquiring business. Although this business does not officially begin operations until the second half of 2020, the organization has already signed on three customers. The country’s acquiring market has seen considerable growth, and in 2019 alone, Brazilians traded BRL 1.84 trillion through credit, debit and prepaid cards, representing an increase of 18.7 percent compared to 2018.
