With the Elo Básico credit card, customers have access to several exclusive benefits. 

However, the Elo flag is the third most used in the country and, before requesting it, it is essential to know what the market options are.

However, Elo was born in 2010 through a partnership between major financial institutions in Brazil: Caixa Econômica Federal, Bradesco and Banco do Brasil. The objective of this creation was to bring a totally Brazilian flag. 

However, even though consumers were initially suspicious of the brand, it currently has more than 120 million cards issued, making it the third most used in Brazil, behind Mastercard and Visa. 

Consumers can issue an Elo Básico credit card to access exclusive benefits. However, it is worth noting that it is available with national and international coverage.

However, before requesting it, find out what its main features are:

Firstly, the Elo Básico Nacional credit card is recommended for consumers who intend to make daily purchases, taking advantage of several benefits.

Even though it is a Brazilian 100% flag, it already has international coverage. Therefore, when issuing an international Elo credit card, you can use it in international establishments. 

Despite being the third most used card in Brazil, many stores do not accept it. However, this happens due to disagreements between establishments and the institutions that issue the card. 

If you are interested in the Elo card, but you visit a store that does not accept it, talk to the store manager. Furthermore, portability of the card machine is simple; just contact the issuer and request it.
