Onboarding and readiness
A participant is registered by its ISPB and activated before it can transact. Readiness then runs in a mandatory order, and a submit attempted before it passes is refused.
- Upload a Pix certificate — the public
.ceronly. An uploaded private key is rejected. - Confirm the rail reports ready.
- Pass a connectivity test.
- Submits are now permitted.
Send a Pix
You create a payment order; the platform builds the ISO 20022 credit-transfer message (
pacs.008), persists the operation, and dispatches it. BACEN returns an asynchronous status callback (pacs.002) that the rail validates and applies, moving the payment to settled or rejected. A payment is read back by its end-to-end ID, along with its history and a per-operation timeline.
Receive a Pix
BACEN posts a signed
pacs.008 XML callback for an inbound Pix. The rail validates the signature, applies the payment, and returns a signed pacs.002 response. Participants list the Pix they have received.
Return (devolução)
On a settled payment, you initiate a return (
pacs.004) as a sub-resource of the parent operation, then read the return’s status. A return is the MED money-movement path — the way funds flow back to a payer for a completed dispute or error.
DICT key lifecycle
Pix keys are managed directly against the DICT directory: register, list, search, look up, update, and delete a key, and batch-check whether a set of keys exists. The rail also reads DICT key statistics and BACEN antifraud statistics, both per key and per person.
DICT claims (reivindicação)
A claim moves a Pix key between participants for portability or ownership. You initiate a claim against a participant, then move it through its lifecycle — acknowledge, confirm or reject, complete or cancel — across the donor and claimer sides. Claim deadlines are processed automatically so a claim cannot stall past its BACEN window.
BR Code and charges
A QR always points at a charge, so you create the charge first, then generate the payload that resolves to it.
- Create a charge: Cob (immediate), CobV (due-date, with interest and fine), or a batch of due-date charges.
- Generate the dynamic EMV QR payload, which links to the charge by its txid or locator and resolves as a signed JWS.
Pix Automático (recurring)
Pix Automático authorizes recurring and scheduled payments through the ISO 20022 recurring family:
- Create a recurring authorization (recorrência) or a request for one, carrying a composite QR.
- Confirm the mandate (
pain.009), cancel it (pain.011), or accept / reject it (pain.012). - Schedule an instruction (
pain.013) and accept / reject it (pain.014). - Request cancellation of a scheduled instruction (
camt.055) and resolve a received cancellation (camt.029). - Request a settlement retry (retentativa) when a scheduled charge misses.
MED disputes
The MED (Mecanismo Especial de Devolução) surface handles fraud and error cases end to end:
- Open a MED case, analyze it, then resolve, close, or cancel it with attached evidence.
- File DICT infraction reports, refund requests, fraud markers, and funds-recovery requests, each tracked through its lifecycle graph.
- Report internally-settled Pix through the MED 2.0 settlement report.
Conta PI reporting
You request an account report (
camt.060), then read the balance, statement, or entries result BACEN returns (camt.052 / camt.053 / camt.054). Synchronous count-only volumetria, rejected-payments, balance, and extract reports round out the reporting surface, each windowed to its reference period.
