Brazilian investment platform XP launched its credit card on Wednesday as part of its strategy to diversify the offer of financial services to expand the relationship with customers and double the resources under its management to BRL 1.4 trillion.

The credit card offers a reward system for purchases made with it. Instead of the traditional cashback, the new product offers “investback”, which allows a return of 1% on all purchases and between 2% and 10% on purchases made in the marketplace. The resources can be used to invest in the platform.
