Paying bills with Banco do Brasil points
Banco do Brasil recently allowed bill payments with points. Bills such as taxes, water, electricity, telephone, and cable TV can be paid through the bank's loyalty program. This way, you don't have to spend money to cover your daily financial obligations, but instead use your accumulated points.

There is no fee for these transactions. However, points vary from customer to customer. They are accumulated based on credit card spending at partner establishments. Points are calculated based on the card type and brand, as well as the dollar value.
Below you will learn how Banco do Brasil's points program works and how to apply for your credit card.
How does paying bills with points work?
First of all, it's important to mention that participating in Banco do Brasil's loyalty program for paying bills with points is free. This means customers can transfer and exchange points at no cost. Transfers of up to 10,000 points to another person are possible, with a 12-month validity period.
Banco do Brasil also has partnerships with Tudo Azul (Azul), Smiles (Gol), and Multiplus (Latam). For customers who enjoy traveling, each point earned corresponds to one mile on these airlines.
Another interesting partnership is Dotz, where you can exchange your points for cell phone top-ups, airline tickets, and various other products and services.
How to apply for a Banco do Brasil credit card with no annual fee
First, to be able to pay bills with Banco do Brasil points, you must participate in the loyalty program. The essential step is to apply for the institution's credit card.
One of the bank's best credit cards is the Ourocard Internacional Fácil. It offers Banco do Brasil customers a waived annual fee for monthly card spends of up to R$1,000.00. Even if you can't reach this amount every month, the monthly fee is quite reasonable, at just R$1,000.90.
The Ourocard Internacional Fácil also offers customers discounts on shows and exclusive promotions. It can even be used both in Brazil and abroad. But the best part is that you don't need to be a current account holder to apply for the international credit card and participate in BB's points program.
Finally, applying for a Banco do Brasil international credit card with no annual fee can be done entirely online and hassle-free. Simply log in through the mobile app, register, and upload photos of the required documents. Once approved, your card will be mailed to your address. This way, you can participate in the loyalty program and pay your bills with the points accumulated at Banco do Brasil.
