Countries Eligible for the Brazil Network

Only publishers located in the countries listed below are eligible to join the Brazil Network:

The Rakuten Advertising team in Brazil will need to collect bank information manually for publishers in these countries. To set up your publisher account in any of these countries, email our Brazil team at brpubsupport@rakuten.com.

Brazil Network Payment Process

The Brazil publisher payment system is unique. There are two payment methods depending on whether a publisher is a Brazilian individual publisher, a Brazilian company publisher, or an international publisher.

International publishers and Brazilian publishers with a CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica), a legal entity's identification number, are paid via invoice.

Brazilian publishers with a CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas), an identification number for individuals, fill in a payment form when they join and are paid at the beginning of each month.

International non-Brazil-based Publisher Payments

Rakuten Advertising Brazil can make payments anywhere in the world. For publishers outside Brazil, the rules are as follows:

• You have earned at least $50 USD, which is the minimum threshold for payment
• Your invoice is issued in Brazilian Reais (BRL)
• The bank in which the advertiser will receive the payment must accept one of the following currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, JPY, MXN, NOK, NZD, SEK, SGD, USD, ZAR
• You have set up your publisher account for direct deposit. For assistance, contact customer support at rm-suportebr@mail.rakuten.com.

When these criteria are met, our Publisher Management team will email you the amount you must receive to issue an invoice in Brazilian Reais (BRL). On the 27th of each month, Rakuten Advertising will fix the foreign exchange rate in one of the currencies mentioned above and pay for the services provided. If your country's official currency is not listed, you must fix the exchange rate in your local bank so we can make the payment. Inform Rakuten Advertising of the account number your bank uses to receive foreign currencies.

It is important that when you issue an invoice, you describe the service as a “lease of media space for advertising.” The bank will withhold the income tax, 15% over the gross amount, and IOF (financial transactions tax) 0.38% over the gross amount, and you will receive the net amount. If your country has a bilateral tax agreement with the Brazilian government, you can have the income tax amount returned to you in your country. You have until the 20^th of the month to send the invoice. Otherwise, you will need to resubmit your invoice in the following month.
