Zero percent interest financing is a common marketing strategy in both Brazil and the USA, particularly for automotive and large retail purchases. In Brazil, 'juros zero' is widely advertised and culturally significant as many consumers depend on installment plans for major purchases. In the US, this promotion is typical during seasonal sales events. Both markets use this term extensively in consumer finance and retail advertising.
