Brazil's PIX Automático: Effortless Recurring Payments

Brazil Launches PIX Automático: A New Era of Recurring Payments Brazil's Central Bank launched PIX Automático, a new payment system for recurring bills, on June 4, 2025. The system, fully operational from June 16th, streamlines payments for utilities, subscriptions, and other regular expenses. Unlike traditional debit systems, PIX Automático requires only one authorization for continuous payments. This simplifies the process for consumers and businesses alike. "With PIX Automático, users can authorize a single payment, and their bills will be paid automatically without repeating the process every month," explains Juliene Moretti, a g1 news reporter. The system is designed to be secure, using the same protections as the standard PIX system. While free for individuals, businesses may incur fees depending on their bank. The system is compatible with all institutions that operate PIX, eliminating the need for agreements between businesses and banks for automatic debit authorization. The launch of PIX Automático marks a significant improvement in Brazil's payment infrastructure, offering increased convenience and efficiency for both consumers and businesses.
