Pix Automatico
NewPix Automatico offers consumers an effortless and cost-effective way to manage recurring payments, by enabling seamless cross-regional recurring transactions.
Developed by the Central Bank of Brazil, allows consumers to authorise recurring payments such as subscriptions, utilities, and membership with a single upfront consent. This eliminates the need for manual approvals with each transaction, reducing friction and improving retention in the payment journey.
Nowadays, 174 million people use Pix. From January 2024 to January 2025, Pix processed BRL 2.4 trillion — a 40% increase compared to the same period the previous year.
