Why should merchants offer Pix?

Increase revenue

Pix is used by 150 million Brazilians that could become your potential customers. Besides being real-time and with 24/7 availability, businesses can get rid of intermediaries which means they become  subject to less transaction fees.

Optimize cash-flows

Merchants receive payments instantly and can reinvest or use the funds to pay debts faster. Other payment methods, such as Boletos and credit cards, have strict deadlines and the settlement is much slower. 

Reduce risks 

Merchants are less prone to fraudsters since Pix can be used directly on smartphones and doesn't require a card password or an ATM. Additionally it has a robust safety mechanism developed by the Brazilian Central Bank.

Fulfill shopper's immediate needs

Brazil has almost 250 million active smartphones. These devices give tremendous potential to  digital payments, especially Pix, and fulfills the increasing Brazilian consumer purchasing preference for a quick and easy purchasing experience.

Pix and the power of instant payments in Brazil

Pix is a system created by the Brazilian Central Bank (BCB) at the end of 2020 to bring instant payments to life. Linked to more than 700 financial institutions, it allows direct funds transactions between personal and/or business bank accounts, while being a financial inclusion tool for the more than 70 million unbanked Brazilians. The system accepts transfers between different entities without taxes, it is free to people, works 24/7, and completes any transaction in  10 seconds or less.  

Pix became, only two years after its launch, the second most used payment method in Brazil's digital commerce

How does Pix work?

Creating a Pix account

The process is simple. Either for individuals or companies, they need to register a Pix key in their financial institution (traditional banks, digital banks or payments platform). There are four types of keys available:

CPF or CNPJ – The user’s tax identification number in Brazil

Cell phone number

Email address

Random key – a computer generated string of numbers that identifies the user’s PIX account

*Individuals can have up to 5 registered keys, while businesses can have up to 20 keys. 

Using Pix and Pix Cobrança

When making payments or transferring money, users have the option to scan a QR code  - which can be static, dynamic or both - or enter the payee's Pix key. All the process can be done via smartphones, notebooks, tablets or desktops connected to the internet. There is also Pix Cobrança, which is an instant voucher payment (part of the Pix system) offered by companies via QR Code including key information such as expiring date, overdue fines, and interest rates for future payments.
