At a glance
- The oil and gas giant distributes its lubricants across the country where it operates and requires broad coverage for local receivables. It decided to move part of its Boleto collections to J.P. Morgan to diversify its counterparty risk and benefit from full integration and visibility through J.P. Morgan Access®.
- J.P. Morgan Brazil leverages a strategic network partner to provide the necessary wide local coverage and best-in-class service. Customers work exclusively with J.P. Morgan systems and personnel.
The challenge
For reconciliation purposes, one of company’s requirements was to obtain details of their receivables using Boleto.
Additionally, it needed full visibility over its accounts, including USD, EUR and BRL, as well as a bank partner in Brazil with strong counterparty risk.
Brazil landscape

J.P. Morgan Boleto collection leverages a wide country footprint through a partnership with one of the largest local banks in Brazil. This is carried out on behalf of the client, who only faces J.P. Morgan.
