About PagSeguro
PagSeguro is the payments brand from which the group grew: the 20-F says it was created in 2006 to bring payments and financial services to small online sellers in Brazil. It did not operate as the PagSeguro business before 1 August 2015, when UOL reorganised and segregated it. Since May 2024 the PagBank name has been searched for more often than PagSeguro.
