How to pay a bill using PIX: Step by Step

Before paying your boleto via PIX, you should check whether your boleto has a QR Code. Currently, most boletos already come with this code printed on them so you can make the payment.

Bills that only have a barcode and not a QR Code cannot be paid via PIX.

Once the invoice has been checked and the QR Code has been printed, you can pay the invoice via PIX by following the steps below:

• Open your bank app and log in to your account.
• Choose the “PIX Area” of your account.
• At this point, choose “pay by QR Code” or “scan QR Code to pay”.
• Scan the QR Code of the bill you want to pay.
• Check the details on the bill, such as the number, amount, and information about who will receive the money.
• If everything is correct, confirm your payment via PIX.

That's it. With this simple method, you can pay your bill via PIX and have more ease when it comes to settling your bills.

Be careful when paying your bill using PIX

Paying bills using PIX is a convenient and fast way to make financial transactions. However, it's important to take some precautions to avoid potential issues and ensure the security of your transactions.

Below are some important tips to consider when paying a bill using PIX:

Check if the ticket is legitimate

Always check that the boleto is authentic and issued by the company or person you wish to pay. Pay close attention to the beneficiary's name, due date, amount, and other information on the boleto.

Confirm beneficiary data

When completing the transaction, ensure that the beneficiary's name and CPF or CNPJ are the same as those on the boleto. Check for typos or other inconsistencies before confirming the payment via PIX.

Use trusted applications

Use apps from trusted financial institutions to make payments. Make sure the app is up to date and has adequate security measures, such as two-step authentication, to avoid account issues.

Use secure networks

Avoid making financial transactions on public or unknown networks, such as Wi-Fi in restaurants, shopping malls, or airports. Instead, use your own cell phone's internet connection. This is important to ensure your account's security.

Keep your device up to date

Keep your device's operating system and applications up to date to ensure the security of your transactions.

Check the receipt

When making a payment, always check the transaction receipt and verify that the information is correct.

Be aware of scams

Unfortunately, PIX scams do occur, so always be aware of fraud. Never share your bank details or security codes with strangers.
