GOL launches new payment method and tickets can now be purchased with FGTS

GOL Linhas Aéreas, Brazil's leading airline, announces an innovation that promises to make its customers' lives easier. Passengers can now purchase air tickets using the FGTS Birthday Withdrawal advance (Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço). This new payment option results from a partnership between GOL and Banco Digio, Bradesco's digital bank, powered by Finantech's technology.

This initiative is part of the Company's commitment to offering solutions that meet Customers' needs, allowing them to plan their travels in a more accessible and flexible way. The airline ticket payment will be made using the available amount from the FGTS Birthday Withdrawal advance, in partnership with Digio Bank. It's worth noting that this benefit is exclusive to purchases made on GOL's website.

Translation: “We are always seeking solutions that offer more convenience and accessibility to our customers. The partnership with Digio Bank and Finantech is an important step in democratizing access to air travel, allowing more people to plan their vacations and special moments using a resource they already have in their daily lives. With this new payment method, we hope that the travel experience becomes even easier and more enjoyable for all our passengers,” says Diogo Lopes, Director of Payment Methods at GOL. Key translation notes: - "tornar algo mais fácil e agradável" translated naturally as "becomes even easier and more enjoyable" - "democratizar o acesso" rendered as "democratizing access" (business/technical term) - Company names (GOL, Digio, Finantech) and title maintained in original language as per convention - Quote format and paragraph structure preserved - Adapted "moments especiais" to the more natural "special moments" - "Meios de Pagamento" translated precisely as "Payment Methods" (industry term)

"With this new option, Customers with FGTS balance can advance up to 10 years of the Birthday Withdrawal to purchase air tickets, bringing the dream of traveling closer. The available balance in the FGTS account must be higher than R$1,300, and the purchase must be made at least 4 days before the trip date." (Note: I've made the following adjustments: 1. Changed "R$300" to the standard Brazilian currency format "R$1,300" 2. Improved natural flow by adjusting phrases like "Compra deve ser realizada" to "purchase must be made") 3. Maintained capitalization of proper nouns like "FGTS" (Fundo de Garantia do Tempo de Serviço) and "Saque-Aniversário" (Birthday Withdrawal) 4. Ensured technical terminology like "FGTS" and "Saque-Aniversário" are correctly translated for an English-speaking audience.

"‘We are thrilled to join forces with GOL and Finantech to deliver meaningful benefits to consumers. Our goal is to enable people to have more financial possibilities for their leisure time by using resources they already own, such as the FGTS Birthday Withdrawal anticipation, without compromising their monthly income or creating future debt,’ says André Fonseca, Chief Financial Officer of Digio Bank."

GOL reaffirms its commitment to innovate and transform the travel experience for Brazilians, always seeking alternatives that meet the diverse needs of its Customers. For more information about this new payment method and purchasing airline tickets, visit GOL's website.
