I arrived Brazil two months ago and opened a bank account a month ago. Till now I am yet to get banco do Brasil card so I can add it to my Google play and make payments.

So I need other options of card here in Brazil to be able to make payment online. Anticipating your suggestions.

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.

@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.

When I first arrived 1 1/2 years ago, no bank would give me an account except Iti online bank. As I recall, my debit card arrived within 1 week.
