Payment infrastructure · Regulatory disclosure

SparkOS financial services are provided by Asaas.

Asaas financial services seal — licensed payment institution

SparkOS is a hospitality technology platform — it is not a financial institution and does not itself hold, process or settle funds. All payment transactions and all payment accounts made available through the platform are opened, maintained and operated by Asaas, a payment institution authorized and regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil.

Payment accounts: Payment accounts used in SparkOS are opened and maintained with Asaas, in the user's own name, and governed by the Asaas terms of use and policies that the user accepts when the account is opened.
Transactions: Pix charges, boleto, credit and debit card payments, payment links, transfers and withdrawals are processed and settled by Asaas in its licensed environment.
Custody of funds: Funds remain in Asaas's custody until settlement. SparkOS does not hold, move or take custody of customer or guest funds.
SparkOS's role: SparkOS provides the interface, automation and hospitality data layer that initiate these operations. Asaas is the provider of the financial services infrastructure offered through the platform.
Onboarding and compliance: Opening and keeping a payment account is subject to Asaas's KYC/KYB review, operational limits and anti-money-laundering policies. Asaas may refuse, suspend or close accounts under its own rules and applicable regulation.

Financial services clause

The financial and payment services made available through this platform — including the opening and maintenance of payment accounts, transaction processing, boleto issuance, transfers, payments and any other movement of funds — are provided by ASAAS GESTÃO FINANCEIRA S.A., a payment institution authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil.

SparkOS acts exclusively as a technology integrator and distributor of the product experience. It is not a financial or payment institution and does not carry out financial intermediation in its own name.
