Value thresholds for transactions under the PIX

The Central Bank published the table with the value limits for transactions within the scope of Pix, by means of Normative Instruction BCB No. 20 of 9/25/2020.

Under the regulations, Pix participants may establish maximum value limits for initiation of a Pix, per paying user, considering the following criteria:

 

 

Limits can be set per transaction, per day and per month.

There is the possibility to establish and set higher value in case of: I - prior registration of the payee's transactional account; II - Scheduled Pix; III - the service channel used by the paying user; IV - the receiving user's account being of the same ownership as the paying user's account; V - the form of authentication of the paying user; or VI - any other criterion defined by the participant.

The Normative Instruction shall enter into force on November 3, 2020.
