According to the BC, it will be possible to take the photo for approximation using the application of your bank or digital portfolio. In the latter case, the user must add the bank account to the compatible digital portfolio. At the time of payment, just bring the mobile phone closer to the payment machine that accepts NFC transactions.
In both cases, the confirmation of payment is made by biometry or passwords, ensuring safety in the transaction. Initially, the transactions will have a maximum standard value of R $ 500But the customer can change the maximum transaction or day value.
The idea of Pix for approach is that it is a simpler and faster form of payment than the QR code. Today, with the QR code, the trader generates a code and the customer must enter the bank app, go to the pix area, select the “QR code” option, read the code and accept the transaction.
Already with pix per approach, just go to the bank application, select the option and approach the phone from the device. Also with the new functionality, other forms of initiation, such as the key and the QR code, will continue to exist, according to the central bank.
How to activate?
To activate pix for approximation it is necessary to check that the bank or the financial institution offers this payment method. So the customer should access the bank application and look for the pix activation option for approximation. After activation, the user must connect the bank account to the wallet, as is done with credit cards.
