In 2020, around 36 percent of transactions made with coronavoucher funds in Brazil were used in processing virtual debit card payments. Cash is still preferred by a segment of the Brazilian population. Thus, 15 percent of transactions came in the form of withdrawals, while a fifth of all transactions were Boleto payments (a popular Brazilian cash-based payment method). Only eight percent of transactions were used in bill payments, making it the lowest use case.
Coronavoucher is part of the recovery package implemented by Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. It consisted on direct transfers targeting low income informal workes distributed through Caixa Econômica Federal.
