Pix Rail Facts

How money moves on this rail, in 12 sourced records: what is final, what can be returned, recalled or refunded, who decides, and what the limits are. A profile belongs to the rulebook, so no reason code list is published on this page.

What the tier labels mean, and how far this page has been checked
Draft
An agent wrote it from published material and nobody has checked it. Use it as a lead to confirm, never on its own as the basis for a retry, a return, a deadline or a compliance decision.
Corroborated
A validator found the same answer in one or more named public sources; the class in brackets says how strong they are. "Secondary sources only" means bank, processor or industry guides and nothing from the operator or regulator. Corroborated does not mean checked against the governing rulebook, so confirm before you act.
Verified
A person checked it against Banco Central do Brasil's own current text and recorded the edition and date. The strongest tier here, and still reference material, not legal or compliance advice.

On a rail fact, every detail line names the section or instrument it rests on and whether that is a rule, a law, operator guidance, or observed practice.

Products on this rail

A product is built on this rail and has an object of its own: an authorisation, a lifecycle or a code set. Each view below is derived by the build from records already in the corpus; see products.json for the rule.

Pix AutomaticoA recurring Pix for paying a business. The payer authorises it once, at their own bank, before the first charge; after that the business's bank sends a payment instruction for each charge, from 2 to 10 days before it is due, and the payer's bank schedules it and sends the payment itself on the due date between 00:00 and 08:00, retrying that evening if funds or limit fall short. Every collection is a credit push from the payer's bank, not a debit taken by the business, and it settles as an ordinary Pix. Only a legal person whose CNPJ has been active for at least six months can be offered it as the receiver; every participant holding accounts must offer it to its customers as payers, though one may ask the BCB to be excused for business accounts.28 rules, 1 authorisation, 5 states, 3 code sets; 1 draft, 37 corroborated Pix CobrancaA Pix paid against a charge the receiving end user prepared through its bank, rather than one the payer keys in. A charge is either for immediate payment, as at a till or an online checkout, or for payment by a due date, where interest, a fine, a discount or a rebate may change what is owed. Once the payer starts paying it the payment runs as an ordinary Pix.8 rules, 0 authorisations, 4 states, 0 code sets; 13 corroborated

One other transaction type holds rules on this rail but no authorisation, lifecycle or code set of their own, so each is a transaction type and not a product: Pix Agendado (scheduled Pix) (5 rules).

Known gaps in this build

Not yet covered: no fact describes Pix Automatico or Pix Cobranca end to end; since 2026-09-22 the authorisation, its journeys, timetable, retries, cancellation and refusal code sets, and the charge and QR code rules, are Core records (mandate.pix-automatico-authorisation and the rule.automatico, rule.agendado and rule.cobranca Rules) that no rail fact lists yet, so they reach agents through core.json and the MCP server but not this page; the Requisitos Minimos para a Experiencia do Usuario manual, the Manual de Resolucao de Disputas and the Manual de Penalidades were not read; consumer-law and liability name the routes without describing what happens along them; no Brazilian consumer statute was read, so what a defrauded user can recover from their own bank is stated as outside the rulebook and not answered; the DICT tracing and prioritization algorithm is not published, so decision-points cannot say why a given account is frozen; catalog 5.13.1 enters SPI production 2026-10-25 and changes the pacs.002 reason list and the Pix Automatico code families; the messages fact describes 5.12.1 and will need a dated successor; reason code records for this rail live in corpus/pix-reject and corpus/pix-return and are not drafted yet.
