Pix digital wallet payments
Pix is Brazil's instant payment system, run by the Central Bank of Brazil, used in more than 40% of the country's online transactions. Add your Pix key to your PayRequest page and Brazilian clients can pay you directly from their bank app — settled in seconds, no card or international wire needed.
Brazil's dominant instant payment system
Pix is a real-time payment system built and run by Brazil's Central Bank, available 24/7/365 with funds settling in seconds. Instead of an account number, Brazilians pay using a 'chave Pix' (Pix key) — a CPF/CNPJ, email, phone number, or random key tied to your bank account. It has overtaken cards and bank transfers as Brazil's most-used payment method, and is free for individuals to use. For businesses working with Brazilian clients, Pix is often the fastest and most familiar way to collect payment.
International freelancers and agencies with Brazilian clients, businesses selling to customers in Brazil, and anyone who works with the Brazilian diaspora worldwide. If your clients are based in Brazil, there is a strong chance they already use Pix daily and prefer it over international card payments or wire transfers.

Client pays via Pix
Your client taps the Pix button, opens their bank app, scans the QR code or enters your Pix key, and sends the payment — it settles in seconds.
