F2b and e-Financial Partnership
 
Freedom2buy (F2b), Brazilian company that offers a brand new on-line pre-paid system, focused on
e-commerce, has just signed for the partnership with e-Financial from Banco Santos. From now on, the customer-shopkeepers of the more than twenty companies that use e-Financial system can opt for the F2b modality of payment in their e-commerce operations.
 
e-Financial is specialized in making available financial solutions for e-commerce. Being like this, the F2b option starts to be available in the Smart Pag solution of the e-Financial that it integrates, manages and offers - like ASP (Application Service Provider) - several payment and credit modalities, assisting several virtual stores in their B2B and B2C transactions.
 
To have an F2b account, you just have to enter the F2b website, register and print a "boleto" with the desired amount and pay in any bank. The F2b account doesn't work as a traditional bank account, it is free from maintenance taxes, doesn't come with checkbook or credit limit. To each deposit, regardless to the amount, an R$ 1,75 tax will be debited.
 
"Our mission is to integrate the largest possible variety of payment modalities and to offer them to companies that make electronic sale. This way, F2b appears as a great pre-payment option", says Ricardo Russo, chief-director of the e-Financial.
 
The target of the payment system offered by F2b is users that don't make on-line purchases because don't have credit card, or they fear to use it. "With this partnership, we can extend our services to the customers of the e-Financial, that will start to count with one more option than it is increasing the
e-commerce in the Country", says Jacques Blinbaum, president and founder of F2b.
