PPRO, the leading local payments platform, today announced the launch of Pix Automático on the PPRO platform, on day one of the Central Bank of Brazil’s live rollout.
This newest enhancement to Brazil’s instant payment system, Pix, offers consumers an effortless and cost-effective way to manage recurring payments, by enabling seamless cross-regional recurring transactions.
Pix Automático, developed by the Central Bank of Brazil, allows consumers to authorise recurring payments such as subscriptions, utilities, and memberships with a single upfront consent. This eliminates the need for manual approvals with each transaction, reducing friction and improving retention in the payment journey. Additionally, it provides the 60 million Brazilians without credit cards to access these services, significantly boosting financial inclusion across the country.
With a sandbox and documentation for Pix Automático available through PPRO, merchants and Payment Service Providers (PSPs) can benefit from:
● Access to Brazil’s preferred instant payment method - now with recurring capabilities.
● Optimised conversion and retention - frictionless recurring flows reduce payment declines and subscriber churn.
● Faster time to market - plug-and-play functionality via PPRO’s platform accelerates access to Brazil’s 174m+ Pix users.
● Trusted infrastructure and local expertise - built on the same local payments backbone trusted by leading global brands.
“Recurring payments are a powerful engine for growth and Pix Automático is set to transform how consumers in Brazil engage with subscriptions and other repeat services,” said Motie Bring, CEO at PPRO. “Our mission is to help PSPs and merchants tap into local payment preferences with ease, and Pix Automático is another key step in delivering on that promise.”
This rollout builds on the success of PPRO’s Subscriptions for Local Payments solution launched earlier this year, reaffirming the company’s commitment to enabling smarter local payment experiences across high-growth markets.
