The third novelty proposes that participating institutions of Pix, that somehow were unable to facilitate payment via QR Code scanning, between May 14 and June 30, must offer at least the ability to process payments on the date the QR Code is scanned. 

New Services

More options will be offered to users of the tool in 2021 and 2022. The Central Bank consultant, Breno Lobo, also pointed out that by the end of the first half of 2021, there will be an opportunity to use the salary account to initiate a Pix for portability and withdrawals.

“It is a new way to provide access to cash for the population, using the infrastructure. We facilitate this access to cash, especially when we talk about cities in the interior of the country that have difficulty transporting money to these locations and that face problems with the number of available branches,” said Breno Lobo.

EASES  

Since its launch, the purpose of Pix has always been to bring more convenience in payments, such as for account transactions or even transfers, in just a few seconds. These innovations will make the service even faster and easier.
