Central Bank Announces a Package of News on PIX That Will Make It Even More Complete, Fast, Secure, and Efficient

The Pix, a recent tool launched by BACEN aimed at facilitating payments and transfers, receives new functions on this Friday (30) designed to make life easier for its users. Project of the Central Bank, the Pix is an instant payments system, launched in November of last year. However, despite being new, it will gain new features that will make the tool even more complete.

EMERGENCY AID

The first novelty will begin functioning from April 30. The new feature will benefit people who are receiving the Emergency Aid 2021, which can now be accessed through PIX. The exception will apply to transfers to accounts of the same ownership.

PIX SCHEDULING

Another functionality is the Scheduled Pix. Although not linked to a Pix Charging, it must be offered by all institutions starting from September 1 of this year. The Scheduled Pix is the tool for the payer user to schedule a Pix for a future date.

Charging

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.

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.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.
