The Central Bank has just released BCB Normative Instruction No. 73 of 3/2/2021, which amends BCB Normative Instruction No. 49, which establishes the necessary procedures for Pix membership.
The adhesion process now consists of four stages: I - registration, II - mandatory homologation; III - homologation for optional products and services; and IV - restricted operation.
In addition, institutions must comply with the validation of QR Codes relating to the provision of mandatory services associated with Pix Collection.
The QR Codes validation tool will be available:
I - for the process of reading QR Codes from 15.02.2021; and
II - for the Codes QR generation process, from 28.02.2021.
Pix participants who already offer Pix Collection must have QR Codes validation steps completed by March 14, 2021.
