From this Monday (24), individual clients from Banco do Brasil will be able to make payments via Pix for approach. To make PIX payment for approach, customers with Android devices can enable the function in the bank’s application settings area.
The customer must open the app, select the “pix by approach” option and authenticate, either by password or biometrics. Then just approach the phone to the machine. For payments with values of up to R $ 200, it is not necessary to enter the password.

The payment method will be of mandatory offer by financial institutions from February 28, but BB came out ahead. The approximation pix was in the testing phase in São Paulo and the Federal District since October last year.
By announcing the measure, Banco do Brasil released safety and anti -breach mechanisms in these operations. “Approach payments have become a paradigmatic experience in the financial industry,” said Banco do Brasil’s director of means of payment and services, Pedro Bramont, in a statement.
“Expanding Pix by approach will take advantage of the intimacy and confidence that the customer has with the Banco do Brasil app, which is recognized as simple, safe and excellent experience,” says the bank’s statement.
To date, the approach pix is not yet available for iPhones. The Central Bank (BC) is in negotiations with Apple to release the service.
Currently, Pix is the means of payment most used by Brazilians. The service is used by 76.4%of the population, followed by debit card (69.1%) and cash in kind (68.9%), according to data from the survey “Brazilian and its relationship with money” , published by the BC.
