THE Giro Payments , a payment facilitator for the public and private sectors, has reached another milestone by being approved for the Innovative Research in Small Businesses (PIPE) program of the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) – PIPE-FAPESP.
“The approved project aims to integrate self-service services in kiosks that unify digital documentation from notary offices with government services, such as Poupatempo. The proposal seeks to offer greater accessibility and efficiency for citizens in high-traffic locations, making the experience simpler and faster,” said Luis Siso, CEO of Giro Pagamentos.
