What Getnet does

Getnet is a Brazilian merchant acquiring and payment technology company, wholly owned by Banco Santander Brasil within Grupo Santander. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in São Paulo (with a technology presence in Florianópolis via the 2021-acquired Eyemobile unit), the company operates as one of the top five merchant acquirers in Brazil alongside Cielo, Rede, Stone, and PagSeguro, processing approximately 4 billion transactions in Q1 2026 across Latin America and Iberia. Its core product set combines physical point-of-sale terminals (Get Mini, Get Clássica, Get Smart), a mobile software-based card reader (Get Tap), e-commerce checkout (Get Checkout), payment links (Link de Pagamento), a digital account (Get Conta, powered by Dock), Pix instant payments, recurring billing subscriptions, TEF automation, split payments, working-capital loans, and installment sales (crediário up to 48x), all accessible through the SuperGet Mobile app and the Get Store developer portal.

The platform supports debit, credit (up to 12x installments), Pix, QR codes, and NFC contactless payments across more than 80 card brands, with PCI DSS, ISO 27001, ISO 27005, BACEN Resolution 4658, and Tier IV data center certifications underpinning compliance. Monetization is primarily transaction-fee based (debit 1.69%, credit 3.69%, installments 7.98%–12.88%), supplemented by hardware rental fees, subscription pricing for the recurring payments platform (R$100–R$130/month), digital account services, and merchant credit income. Distribution combines self-service digital onboarding, telephone sales, WhatsApp outreach, e-commerce platform integrations (Shopify, VTEX, Magento, WooCommerce, Nuvemshop, Wix, Tray, Prestashop), and referrals through Santander Brasil's branch network.

In 2026, Getnet launched AI agent-initiated payments infrastructure — an open, interoperable capability enabling merchants to accept payments from autonomous AI agents — alongside AI-driven fraud detection, credit analytics, content generation, and recommendation engines. The company has invested in sustainability (carbon-neutral since 2016, recycled card reader components, plastic-free operations) and holds GPTW certification. Strategic acquisitions of Minestore and Eyemobile in 2021 extended capabilities into e-commerce and SMB management, while leadership transitioned to CEO Pedro Coutinho following the departure of former CEO Kush Saxena.
