05/30/24 Welcome, @ifeanyiohaji22.  Debit cards take about a month to reach a new client, so yours should arrive any day now.  Meanwhile, many online retailers also provide Pix and boleto options that you can pay from your bank app.

Ok thank you for the reply. That's quite a wait, sadly!

@ifeanyiohaji22 For Google Play, you can also go to a store and purchase a Google Gift card, then load it into your online account.

@ifeanyiohaji22 Just to let you know I have been here about a year and a half, but until my immigration status changes, I cannot get an official bank account even though i did manage to get a Banco Do Brazil card, so you are doing very, very well if you get it after one month.
