Brazil’s Central Bank will roll out new features for its real-time payments system PIX: Pix Saque and Pix Troco will debut on November 29, with maximum transaction limits both during the day and at night.
In a statement on Thursday, Brazilian Central Bank explained that the maximum transaction limit of the two products that are part of the Pix Evolutionary Agenda will be BRL 500 during the day and BRL 100 between 8 pm and 6 am, for security reasons.
There will, however, be freedom for the providers of the new Pix products to work with limits lower than these values if they consider it more appropriate, the monetary authority said.

Pix Saque will allow all customers of any Pix participant to make a cash withdrawal at one of the points that offer the service, such as commercial establishments and shared ATM networks and participants of Pix. To do this, the customer must make a Pix to the withdrawal agent by reading a QR Code or the application of the service provider.
The dynamics are practically identical in Pix Troco (which means exchange), with the difference that the withdrawal of cash resources can be performed during the payment of purchase to the establishment. In this case, the Pix is made for the total amount (purchase + withdrawal).
