What’s the history behind the company?

AmBev was founded on 1 July 1999 through a merger between Brahma and Antarctica, two Brazilian brewing companies. Since then, the company has continued to grow significantly, by gaining exclusive bottling and distribution rights for Pepsi in Brazil (October 2000), and adding the production, sale and distribution of Gatorade to its repertoire(January 2002).
 
The merger between Brahma and Antarctica facilitated the company’s expansion into additional South American territories including Argentina, Paraguay and Venezuela. Continuing its expansion, it soon added Bolivia and Uruguay to its markets, with subsequent acquisitions in the Central American countries: Peru, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic.
 
In 2005, the company also began to target Canada’s beer market, and in 2012, brought its operations to the Caribbean through a strategic partnership with E. León Jimenes.

It's a great app, and it's safe to practice with the demo. Then, when you're ready for the real thing, I'd suggest installing it.

This application is perfect.. simple, easy to use, run smoothly and fast and it has an accurate graphics.. be careful to use only one credit card and one bank account to prevent any withdrawal problem.. overnight fees and spread variation will be repaid for you by the next month.. I used many application but this is the best one

User friendly app & interface and good support team. Funds transfer ease & Leverage is an advantage but crypto is highly risky be responsible of your loss limits and risks appetite.
