Bradesco launches dollar‑denominated Visa Infinite credit card in Brazil
Bradesco introduced a new metal Visa Infinite credit card priced in U.S. dollars, aimed at high‑income customers who travel abroad frequently. The card eliminates the IOF tax and currency spread on international purchases, and awards four Livelo points per dollar spent on travel and restaurant expenses. Cardholders also receive access to airport lounges through Bradesco's own network and Priority Pass, as well as eligibility for Global Entry and TSA PreCheck programs.
In the broader Brazilian premium‑card market, several issuers are promoting cashback cards that return up to 2% of spend, with higher rates in specific categories. Experts note that while frequent travelers may still prefer mileage programs for larger returns, cashback offers provide a simpler, immediate benefit for customers who value direct cash returns. Cards such as RecargaPay Titan Mastercard Black and XP Visa Infinite Legacy exemplify this trend, offering between 1.5% and 2% cashback alongside traditional premium features.
