The story
Pluxee Brazil is the rebranded successor of Sodexo Benefícios e Incentivos, the Brazilian benefits arm of Sodexo, which became Pluxee in 2023 and was spun off as an independent listed company in 2024. The Brazilian operation is a dominant player in meal/food/fuel/gift voucher prepaid cards, operating its own BCB-licensed payment institution (Pluxee Instituição de Pagamento S.A.) and is now competing in a market reshaped by Pix integration and the multibenefícios flexible benefits model.
