The bank also operates digital and mobile banking platforms intended to service retail and corporate customers across its network.
While its primary market is Brazil, Banco do Brasil maintains an international footprint with branches, representative offices and subsidiaries that support trade and client needs abroad, including operations focused on North America, Latin America, Europe and other regions where Brazilian companies and expatriates conduct business.

Banco do Brasil is governed by a board of directors and an executive management team, with the federal government as a principal shareholder. Its long-standing position in Brazil’s banking sector, diversified product mix and combination of retail, corporate and public-sector activities make it a central participant in both domestic finance and cross-border services for clients with links to the Brazilian economy.
