The instant payment system created by the Central Bank of Brazil, is already widely used by millions of Brazilians due to its convenience, security, and speed. Now, a new feature promises to further transform the payments market: Pix Automático, which will be officially launched on June 16, 2025. This innovation will allow businesses and consumers to enjoy recurring payments in an automatic and simplified way, without the need for authentication for each transaction.If you’re a business looking to offer Automatic Pix as a payment method, this article is for you. Let’s explore how this feature works, the benefits it offers your company, and how it can enhance the customer experience, bringing more efficiency and financial inclusion.
What is Pix Automático and How Does it Work?
Pix Automático is an innovative feature that will enable recurring payments to be processed automatically, without the customer needing to repeatedly authenticate each transaction. This means that businesses can provide a simplified and efficient experience, especially for services that require periodic payments, such as subscriptions, tuition, utility bills, and more.To use Automatic Pix, the customer must pre-authorize the recurring transaction. This process occurs through a QR Code or another authentication tool provided by the company at the time of payment registration. The authorization will include details such as:
- Payment frequency (monthly, bi-monthly, etc.);
- Due date and authorization validity period;
- Maximum debit amount, for accounts with variable values;
- Recipient identification.
Additionally, the customer will have full control over their authorizations, with the ability to cancel them at any time, ensuring both convenience and security.
Benefits of Pix Automático for Businesses
Adopting Pix Automático offers several advantages for businesses across different industries. Beyond providing a differentiated experience for customers, the feature can directly impact operational efficiency and strengthen relationships with your audience.
- Reduced payment defaults: With automatic payments, the chances of delays decrease, as transactions are executed automatically on the scheduled date. This leads to greater predictability for the company’s cash flow and less effort in collections.
- Streamlined financial processes: By eliminating the need for manual authentications or physical invoices, Automatic Pix reduces bureaucracy, saves time, and minimizes human errors.
- Flexibility for consumers: Customers expect more payment options and greater convenience. With Automatic Pix, they can choose the method that best suits their needs, increasing satisfaction and loyalty.
