What is anonymous Pix?

Anonymous Pix is a form of instant transfer in which the recipient does not have access to the sender's identifying information, such as phone number, CPF, or email address. 

Simply put, when someone receives an anonymous Pix, the source of the money remains hidden and cannot be discerned by the recipient. This means that the sender's data is protected. 

What is anonymous Pix for?

Making a Pix transaction without sharing your personal data is a powerful strategy to protect yourself against potential fraud while also enjoying greater convenience. 

By adopting this approach, you keep your data, such as your CPF and phone number, completely confidential, which significantly reduces the risk of exposure to fraudsters.

Additionally, anonymous Pix offers an additional layer of convenience, especially when you use your phone number as your Pix key. 

In this case, the anonymous feature prevents unwanted third parties from accessing your number, thus avoiding inconvenient contact and protecting your privacy. The same applies when you use your email address as your Pix key, keeping it equally protected from unauthorized disclosure.

Who can make an anonymous pix?

The flexibility of Anonymous Pix is interesting, as all financial institutions and digital wallets allow their customers to use this service. 

To get started, you must be over 16 years old and open a digital account with any financial institution that offers Pix functionality.

Anonymous Pix relies on generating a random key, which means that if you already have a bank account or digital wallet compatible with Pix, there are no restrictions preventing you from using this transfer method. 

The accessibility and simplicity of this system ensure that virtually anyone with a digital account can enjoy the benefits of Anonymous Pix.

Therefore, the freedom to choose a financial institution and the ease of implementation make Anonymous Pix an accessible and available option for everyone, as long as they meet the minimum age requirements and have an active digital account.

How to make an anonymous pix?

Now that you know about anonymous PIX, it's important to understand how to make this type of transfer without having to provide your personal information.

Now, see more details on how to make an anonymous PIX.

What are the ways to make an anonymous pix?

It's important to understand that there are two scenarios when it comes to anonymous PIX: you may want to receive PIX without your data or you may want to send the money anonymously. Therefore, it's important to understand how each model works.

You can send money while protecting your data and receive money without worrying about other people's data.

What are the steps to create an anonymous PIX?

If you want to send an anonymous PIX, you must follow the steps below:

1. Ask the person receiving the PIX for the random key or QR Code to make the payment. 
2. Transfer your money normally via PIX using your chosen method. 
3. Done. The person will receive the amount under your name, but without having access to your details on the receipt. 

What are the steps to register a random key?

If you want your data to be protected when receiving PIX, whether for use by many people or for any other reason, you must register a random key. 

Through it, you can have the key to receive your PIX and have no problem exposing your data, such as CPF, phone number, or email address when sending the key to the person. 

See the step-by-step guide to creating a random key:

• Open your bank or digital wallet app.
• Access the PIX area. 
• Go to “Register PIX key”. 
• Go to “Generate random key”.

Now, copy the key and send it to the person who will make the transfer. 

Please note that the process may differ depending on your bank. 

What are the steps to register a QR Code?

Another way to receive an anonymous PIX and make it easier to get your PIX key is to generate a QR Code to receive your PIX. 

To do this, do the following:

1. Open your bank or financial institution's app.
2. Access the PIX area. 
3. Go to “Register PIX Key”. 
4. Choose “Generate QR Code”. 

Now, just share the QR Code and receive your money.

What are the advantages of anonymous pix?

Now, see all the advantages you have when sending or receiving an anonymous PIX:

• Do Not Send Personal Information: One of the biggest advantages of Anonymous Pix is the ability to make transfers without sharing personal information, such as your CPF or phone number. This preserves your privacy and reduces the risk of fraud.
• Use with Unknowns: By opting for Anonymous Pix, you can conduct transactions with strangers without worrying about sensitive data being shared. This is especially useful in situations where you don't want to share your personal information.
• QR Code Availability: One of the most striking features of Anonymous Pix is its ease of use, as it allows you to generate a QR Code to facilitate transactions. This simplifies the payment process, making it fast and convenient.
• Link for Remote Billing: Another notable advantage is the ability to create links for remote billing. This means you can send someone a payment link, allowing them to make the payment quickly and securely, even without being physically present.
• Privacy: Anonymous Pix respects your privacy by ensuring that your personal information is not shared during transactions. This is essential to protect your data and keep it confidential.
• Security: In addition to privacy, Anonymous Pix also offers a high level of security. The lack of disclosure of personal information reduces vulnerability to scams and fraud, making transactions more secure.

What are the risks of anonymous PIX?

Generally speaking, there are no risks associated with sending or receiving anonymous PIX. This is because this type of transaction is backed by the Central Bank, as it's a way for you to keep your personal data secure. 

Here, the only issue is that you do not have the identification of personal data on the receipt, knowing only the person's name and the banking institution. 

Therefore, anonymous PIX is an excellent way to keep your data safe and use banking services with greater peace of mind.
