People who already get paid through Ruvo, in their own words

From people who work for companies abroad and use Ruvo every month.

I've tried several digital wallets, and in many the onboarding is slow and bureaucratic. Ruvo was different: I finished signing up in far less time than I was used to.

The fee wasn't what weighed most in my decision. What caught my attention was having a complete experience in the app, simple and practical.

When I have a question or a problem, I can talk to a person and get real help. That kind of close support makes a difference, especially when we're talking about money.

Frequently asked questions

Contractor and/or Freelancer: receive in dollars and spend with a card.

How do I receive from international clients?

You share the details of a dollar account (ACH) with the client or platform and receive directly in USD, without the bank’s expensive FX.

See more questions
Which platforms can I receive from?

From marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr, payroll platforms like Deel and Rippling, and direct clients, just share your dollar-account (ACH) details. Receiving is free.

See more questions
Do I need to convert everything to reais?

No. You hold the dollar balance and convert only what you need (0.9% for individuals and 0.3% for businesses, 0% IOF), spending the rest directly on the card.

See more questions
Can I pay Brazilian suppliers by Pix from my dollar balance?

Yes. Ruvo lets you send a Pix payment funded from your dollar balance — the conversion happens at the time of the Pix, and the recipient receives reais instantly. This removes the extra step of converting to reais first and then paying. It is useful for paying local contractors and/or freelancers or rent from the same balance where your dollar income sits.

See more questions
Do I need to declare foreign income to Receita Federal?

Yes. Foreign income received by an individual (PF) must be reported monthly via carnê-leão, using the PTAX exchange rate on the payment date. It is also included in your annual IRPF declaration under "rendimentos recebidos do exterior." Failing to declare can result in malha fina penalties. If you receive as PJ, income is declared under your company's tax regime instead. Ruvo does not withhold taxes: declaring them is your responsibility. Transactions are reported to the authorities of the countries where they take place.
