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.
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.
