BTG Pactual announced new features for its international account, aimed at Brazilian investors interested in the offshore market. The bank now offers instant conversion from dollars to reais and the possibility to transfer asset custody abroad directly through the app.
According to the bank, requests for full or partial custody transfers can now be made digitally and securely, thanks to artificial intelligence for the automatic reading of the required statements.
This technology aims to simplify the process. Advisors can also send push notifications with ACAT requests, streamlining the transfer process.
Another new feature is the exchange solution with near-instant settlement. Dollar-to-real conversions can be made on business days between 9:15 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
BTG’s international account, launched at the end of 2023, is 100% digital and uses the same investment and banking app. With a minimum exchange amount of 5 dollars, the platform offers access to more than 5,000 equity assets, such as stocks, ETFs, ADRs, and ETNs, as well as over 1,000 fixed-income securities and 400 investment funds.
“The development of our international platform continues at a fast pace, prioritizing client convenience, autonomy, and security. We want to ensure that Brazilian investors have access to the best experience to operate globally, with cutting-edge technology and comprehensive solutions,” said Marcelo Flora, partner responsible for BTG Pactual’s digital platforms.
