Aura is one of the local credit card schemes in Brazil and next to HiperCard and Elo, one of the popular national online payment methods. Aura enables Brazilian shoppers to pay online by using their Aura credit card.
Cetelem (BNP Paribas) is one of larger Aura credit card issuers, who has entered into a partnership with MasterCard for Aura-MasterCard co-branded cards. Currently there are over 3 million co-branded Aura cards in Brazil. Redecard and Cielo are the main Brazilian acquirers who process and settle Aura credit card payments to merchants. Several Brazilian and International Payment Service Providers enable merchants to accept Aura transactions in their webshop (see below).
