Broad incumbents

• Diebold Nixdorf: US/European-headquartered manufacturer of ATMs, POS, and banking self-service terminals with significant Brazilian operations. Direct competitor in the same banking and retail terminal categories Perto serves, though Diebold operates as a broader multi-line incumbent versus Perto's specialized regional focus.
