Carnival in Brazil is one of the most famous celebrations in the world – a spectacular mix of music, dance, tradition and community spirit. Held every year in the days leading up to Lent, Carnival is a moment when streets fill with vibrant parades, dazzling costumes and the infectious energy of samba.<\/p>
Whether in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, São Paulo or Recife, each region of Brazil brings its unique style to the festival, making it a deeply rooted cultural tradition. For those living abroad, staying connected to family and friends during Carnival is essential. With Paysend, you can support your loved ones back home, helping them make the most of this unforgettable celebration.<\/p>
The history behind Brazil’s Carnival<\/h2>
Carnival’s origins trace back to European festivals brought to Brazil by Portuguese settlers in the 17th century. These celebrations were inspired by Catholic traditions, marking the last days of indulgence before Lent’s fasting period.<\/p>
Over time, African, Indigenous and Portuguese influences merged to create the unique Brazilian Carnival we know today. The introduction of samba – a music and dance style with deep African roots – became a defining feature, turning Carnival into the spectacular, rhythmic event it is today.<\/p>

Product innovation, growth and increasing profit – these are all things small business owners and entrepreneurs need to focus on, particularly at the early stages of their company. So why is their attention being diverted by trying to solve the numerous challenges that still exist when doing business overseas?
Many SMEs work exceptionally hard to generate demand for product and services from overseas. Yet when it comes to accepting international payments, progress is slowed down by burdensome financial administrative processes, payment method limitations and expensive and slow money transfers.
Our recent survey showed that 4 in 10 UK SMEs experience significant challenges posed by currency exchange rate fluctuations and fees associated with making international money transfers. Meanwhile, 3 in 10 say barriers to doing business overseas include lengthy settlement times, payments accepted from a limited number of countries and the slow administrative process to start accepting international payments.
At Paysend, we are passionate about enabling businesses to thrive and focus their efforts on growth, rather than business financial administration, which is why we created our acquiring solution.
What can Paysend Business’ acquiring solution do for me?
Our aim is to offer SMEs autonomy over company growth and opportunities to engage with their client base. With our acquiring solution, you can accept online payments from all major debit and credit cards in over 150 countries and up to 38 currencies, including payment gateways Apple Pay and Google Pay. Enabling your international customers to pay via their preferred payment methods is an easy way to increase revenues.
We also offer next day settlement so you can access your funds in 24 hours. Our market leading rates mean you can accept payments from just 0.8% per transaction.
Here are even more ways we’re making it easier for SMEs to accept money from overseas:
