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).
