Send Money to Brazil from the U.S. — Fast, Simple and Secure with Inter
For many Brazilians living in the United States, sending money to Brazil isn’t occasional — it’s part of everyday financial life.
It might be helping family, paying expenses, investing, or simply managing responsibilities in two countries. But traditional international wire transfers can feel slow, bureaucratic, and filled with details you don’t use in your daily life.
With Inter, you can send money from the U.S. to Brazil directly through the Inter app — using the recipient’s PIX key. All without needing traditional bank details.
International transfers don’t need to be a hassle
If you’ve ever sent an international wire through a traditional bank, you know the process can involve several detailed steps and pieces of information that aren’t part of your everyday financial routine. Instead of a quick and intuitive flow, the experience often feels technical and document-heavy. In many cases, you may need to:
- Ask for the full bank name
- Get the SWIFT/BIC code
- Provide branch (agency) and account numbers
- Wait without clear tracking or status updates
- Pay transfer fees, sometimes without full visibility upfront
How Inter makes sending to Brazil simpler
Traditional international transfers can feel like you’re stepping into a different system — more forms, more codes, more waiting. Inter takes a different approach, bringing everything into one straightforward app experience.
Through the Inter app, you can send money in a simpler way:
- Funds are sent directly inside the app
- Dollars are converted to Brazilian reais within the platform
- No transfer fee when sent from your available account balance
- Transfer to Brazil using the recipient’s registered PIX key
- Real-time tracking
- 70% of orders processed in under 1 hour*
*Processing times may vary depending on destination and banking networks.
For Brazilians used to PIX, that familiarity makes a difference. Sending money home doesn’t feel like dealing with an international system — it feels closer to what you already know.

Real experiences from Brazilians in the U.S.
For many Brazilians managing life between two countries, familiarity, speed, and trust matter.
Eloan, who has lived in the U.S. for 10 years, used Inter to send support during a critical moment back home:
“Even after 20 years without speaking, I didn’t hesitate. I was able to send the money quickly and help when it truly mattered.”
In another story, Camila, who moved to the U.S. for her daughter’s medical treatment, highlighted the importance of reliability:
“Being able to send money fast and know exactly when it arrived gave me peace of mind during a very difficult time.”
Across stories, speed, clarity, and ease of use consistently stand out — especially for those supporting loved ones from abroad.
