Stripe has joined forces with Ebanx to let businesses from around the world accept Pix instant payments in Brazil. 0 Thanks to the partnership with Latin American platform Ebanx, businesses on Stripe can now offer Pix, the wildly popular instant payment method developed by the Central Bank of Brazil. Firms can process Pix payments from Brazilian customers in Brazilian Reais, with settlements available in the merchant's domestic currency. Krishnan Rajagopalan, global head, expansion, strategics and incubation partnerships, Stripe, says: 'Our partnership with Ebanx is important for increasing Stripe users' reach in Brazil, Latin America's largest market. For global commerce today, enabling how customers pay is often just as important as what's being sold." João Del Valle, CEO, Ebanx, adds: 'Working with Stripe to offer Pix is a no-brainer. There are 60 million people in Brazil who lack a credit card. Meanwhile, 93% of Brazilian adults use Pix and, by the end of this year, its usage is projected to surpass credit cards in online purchases".

RACE AGAINST TYNE Ten mega-money transfers that could happen THIS WEEK before Premier League season including Isak, Baleba and Eze Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE are just four days to go until the new Premier League season kicks off. Champions Liverpool wasted no time in dropping nearly £300million to bolster Arne Slot's squad ahead of their title defence. 14 Liverpool spent big money to land the likes of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike Credit: Reuters 14 Manchester United unveiled their new signings at Old Trafford on Saturday Credit: Getty But as managers across the division make their final preparations ahead of this weekend, chairmen will be trying to get some more players in through the doors in time for the curtain-raisers. SunSport rounds up ten mega-money transfers that could get done THIS WEEK... ALEXANDER ISAK The Newcastle striker's future has been one of sagas of the summer - will he stay or will he go? Liverpool had a £110m offer rejected as the Toon want £150m but how helpful could a sulking, unhappy Isak be for Eddie Howe?

Steve Parish admitted the Eagles will sell if the right bid comes in as Guehi enters the final year of his deal. Newcastle have also been interested.

The Cameroon star is only 21 but Brighton will not let him go on the cheap, so much so that the Red Devils may well need to pay a record-breaking £115m-plus for the holding midfielder. 14 Brighton want a record deal if they are to sell Carlos Baleba Credit: Getty XAVI SIMONS Chelsea are after a young, exciting attacker - again. This time it is Xavi Simons being lined up.

He is part of the 'bomb squad' deemed surplus to requirements by United gaffer Ruben Amorim, who will happily see the back of the Argentine wideman who was left out of the USA pre-season tour. 14 Alejandro Garnacho is in the Ruben Amorim 'bomb squad' Credit: Getty NICOLAS JACKSON But with all the incomings at Chelsea - including strikers Joao Pedro and Liam Delap - there may be a major exit, too, with Jackson third-choice No9. Jackson would prefer a switch to Newcastle, but the Toon will only bid for him should Isak leave - and they are determined not to let that happen. 14 Nicolas Jackson would be open to joining Newcastle Credit: Alamy EBERECHI EZE Just like his skipper Guehi, Eze continues to be linked with an exit away from Selhurst Park. With the Ademola Lookman deal seemingly off the cards, Arsenal may swoop for the Palace talisman in a package worth £55m to £60m - although Tottenham may attempt to hijack the transfer if they can't get Savinho. 14 Eberechi Eze may swap South London for North London by signing for Arsenal Credit: Alamy

Darwin Nunez completes switch from Liverpool to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal
The 26-year-old Uruguay striker has finalised the move for a fee understood to be an initial £46million. The Anfield club said: 'Liverpool FC can confirm Darwin Nunez has completed a permanent transfer to Al-Hilal, subject to international clearance. Liverpool FC can confirm Darwin Nunez has completed a permanent transfer to Al-Hilal, subject to international clearance. Everybody at the club would like to thank Darwin for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best for the future. — Liverpool FC (@LFC) August 9, 2025 'The Uruguayan's three-year spell with the Reds concludes after he finalised a switch to the Saudi Pro League side today. 'Everybody at the club would like to thank Darwin for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best for the future.' Nunez moved to Anfield in June 2022 from Benfica for an initial fee of £64m. He scored 40 goals in 143 appearances for the Reds, but started just eight Premier League matches during their title-winning season last term. Nunez was a target for another Saudi club, Al Nassr, in January, but a £60m bid was rejected as Liverpool did not want to sell in the middle of the season. Nunez scored 40 goals for the Reds (Adam Davy/PA) However, his departure looked inevitable after a string of unconvincing displays, and takes Liverpool's income from sales this summer to almost £200m, with more likely to follow with £40m-plus-rated midfielder Harvey Elliott possibly on the move. It also opens up a space in their forward line, which has already been strengthened with the arrival of Hugo Ekitike as part of a near-£300m spend, and the number nine shirt. Liverpool retain an interest in Newcastle's Alexander Isak after having a £110m bid rejected last week. Magpies boss Eddie Howe confirmed on Friday that the wantaway Sweden striker is unlikely to feature in the opening game of the Premier League season at Aston Villa.
