When working with Brazilian suppliers, paying for services in Brazil, or transferring money to the country, you need to convert dollars to reais. The Brazilian real is a floating currency highly sensitive to commodity prices and the country's fiscal policy, making the USD/BRL rate volatile. To lock in a favorable moment, use ATM24: the manager agrees on the rate before the transfer and handles the exchange online.

The Brazilian real as a currency

The Brazilian real (BRL) was introduced in 1994 as part of the Plano Real - a successful anti-hyperinflation program. Since then, the currency has shifted to a floating rate that is sensitive to soybean, iron ore, and oil prices. Political events and Brazil's budget decisions also heavily influence BRL: during periods of fiscal instability, the real can weaken noticeably against the dollar. This creates opportunities for a favorable exchange when you monitor the rate at the right time.

When the USD to BRL exchange is needed

The USD/BRL pair is relevant for entrepreneurs trading with Brazil - the largest economy in Latin America. It is also in demand among people sending money to relatives in Brazil, and tourists planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo.

What to consider before exchanging dollars for reais

The real shows high volatility during Brazilian elections, key rate changes, or major fiscal policy developments. If you are planning a large conversion, monitor the news background and reach out to an ATM24 manager when the rate is in your favor. The exchange rate is locked in before the transfer - the risk of a rate change after the agreement is eliminated.

I had my concerns when starting the transfer, but it worked like a charm in the end. Russia to Canada, not a huge amount - just trying to transfer some of the retirement pension stuck there due to the sanctions. Emil (ATM24 manager) was very helpful to work around a few related issues, and then it just worked.

Manager Emil got in touch immediately after we sent the request, was constantly available and told us what to do. The money was delivered quickly, everything honest, they literally saved us from hunger in Pattaya. If, God forbid, you, like us, are left without a penny of foreign currency and only have rubles on a card — definitely contact them, the rate is reasonable and they work promptly. I recommend!
