Pix has become the most used method for electronic payments and transfers in Brazil, which has attracted criminals and scammers to the platform. The Central Bank, responsible for the development and maintenance of the tool, had already established strict security rules to combat fraud.
Now, the Central Bank intends to reinforce these security rules to ensure that the population continues trusting Pix. The objective is to combat fraud without compromising the functioning of the tool.
The article warns, however, that care must be taken so that the imposed restrictions do not end up emptying the usefulness of Pix, considered an essential tool for the country. The challenge lies in balancing security with the practicality that made the system so popular among Brazilians.
