As the world evolves technologically regarding digital transformation and payment systems,
each country finds its ways to step forward according to its necessity and resources. Which was
what happened regarding Brazil and Ireland. Taking into consideration that each followed a
different online payment methodology pathway.
As a Brazilian immigrant living in Ireland, this subject matters due to its importance in my life
and other thousands of countrymen living here as well. Living in two countries also implies
managing two currency transactions, two banking accounts, two online payment methods, two
systems and in two different time zones.
Basically, that was the kitten for this applied project to happen.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze deeply how both countries’ online payment
systems differs from each other, and how much they impact Brazilian immigrants’ life.
