Brazil's Central Bank Launches PIX Automatic: Easier, Faster Recurring Payments

Brazil's Central Bank Launches PIX Automatic: A New Era in Recurring Payments Brazil has taken a significant step forward in its digital payments infrastructure with the launch of PIX Automatic, a new recurring payment system. This innovative system, unveiled on June 4th, 2025, offers a streamlined and user-friendly alternative to traditional automatic debit. Unlike its predecessor, PIX Automatic allows businesses of all sizes to collect recurring payments directly through the Central Bank, eliminating the need for individual agreements with various banks. "Any company can be part of PIX Automatic and charge their clients this way," explains Luiza Tenente, a presenter for G1 news. This simplifies the process considerably, making it more accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises. The benefits extend to consumers as well. The system is designed for intuitive use, enabling quick registration and deregistration of accounts directly through banking apps. Furthermore, it operates 24/7, including weekends, unlike traditional automatic debit, which is often limited to weekdays. This enhanced accessibility and convenience are expected to boost the adoption of digital payment methods across Brazil. The absence of fees makes PIX Automatic even more attractive. This cost-effectiveness is a significant advantage over other recurring payment systems, further promoting financial inclusion and efficiency. The launch of PIX Automatic represents a positive development in Brazil's financial landscape, promising greater efficiency and accessibility for both businesses and consumers.
