“Can a bank-owned coalition loyalty program become the default consumer engagement layer for Brazilian financial services and retail?”
Livelo was founded in 2014 as a joint venture between Banco do Brasil and Bradesco, spun out to run Brazil's largest coalition rewards program. It has scaled to 54M+ members and hundreds of accumulation and redemption partners, with financial institutions (credit card issuers) as the primary points-accumulation channel. Recent moves include a 2024 innovation hub and a 2025 generative-AI concierge (Expert Livelo), positioning it as a loyalty-tech platform rather than pure points redeemer.
