Finance Minister says that the Bolsonaro family made a 'movement' against PIX and that the government will protect the tool

The Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, stated this Tuesday (2) that the Bolsonaro family made a "movement against PIX" and that the real-time financial transfer tool will be protected and safeguarded.
Durigan declared that the mechanism is not "under debate", that is, that the Brazilian government is not willing to negotiate the terms of the PIX.
The tool has been challenged by the United States, which accuses the Central Bank of Brazil of favoring the payment system to the detriment of American companies operating in the sector.
"Once again, the Bolsonaro family is making a movement against the PIX, and about the 301, and more than being out of the debate, it is a symbol of our financial sovereignty, pride of the country, of our people. In fact, we innovate, we generate technology coveted by regions that want a PIX. People use it easily and private and private interests feel upset with this opening of a democratic means of payment", declared the Minister of Finance.

According to the American government, the BC acts simultaneously as a regulator and operator of the system, which favors PIX and limits the actions of competitors.
The criticisms are part of the justification for the proposed 25% tariff on Brazilian products following a trade investigation by the US Office of Trade (USTR) against abusive practices.
According to the agency, the Brazilian government adopts practices that "encumber or restrict" trade with North Americans.
When the investigation was opened, in July 2025, PIX was not directly cited. The document made reference to "digital commerce and electronic payment services", including those offered by the Brazilian State. In practice, the PIX is the only public system for this purpose.
Defense of the PIX
Other authorities also came out in defense of the PIX, such as the Minister of Development, Industry and Commerce, Marcio Elias Rosa, and the vice-president of the Republic, Geraldo Alckmin.
"The government is very transparent and will never allow any topic dear to national sovereignty, such as the PIX, for example, to remain at the negotiating table and not be negotiated, there is no chance for that. And we will It is always possible to demonstrate that I do not meet the budget of the Brazilian people, which is the line of clarification and defense of Brazil", said Marcio Elias Rosa.
Alckmin has already declared that Brazil receives criticism from the United States with indignation, and that the proposal regarding the PIX is unfair. "PIX is a national heritage, an achievement of the people, technology at the service of society, economy, at no cost to the population," he said.
Record in 2025
Data from the Central Bank show that PIX handled R$35.36 trillion in transfers last year, a new record.
There was an increase of 33.6% compared to 2024 - when transactions totaled R$26.46 trillion.
The number of transactions also exceeded that recorded in the previous year. In 2025, there were 79.8 billion operations. In 2024, the Central Bank accounted for 63.5 billion transfers.
In November 2025, when PIX celebrated its five-year anniversary, the director of Organization of the Financial System and Resolution of the Central Bank, Renato Gomes, commented that the country was close, at that moment, to having the entire adult population using the tool.
"It is essentially almost every adult in the country", said the director of the BC, at the time.
He also stated that the speed of adoption The massive adoption of PIX by the Brazilian people was surprising, and that the tool was responsible for including thousands of people in the financial system.
"The government is very transparent and will never allow any topic dear to national sovereignty, such as PIX, for example, to remain at the negotiation table and it is not in negotiation, there is no chance for that.

And we will always be able to demonstrate to the North American government the Brazilian people's budget which is the line of clarification and defense of Brazil", said Marcio Elias Rosa.
News under study
The Central Bank also foresees new features for the PIX this year. They are:
Hybrid Billing: inclusion in the PIX regulations of the possibility of payment, through the QR code, of a charge that also presents the possibility of payment through the bank slip arrangement. This is already offered in a optional, but it is expected to be mandatory from November this year.
Duplicata: functionality to allow the payment of book-entry duplicates (credit securities) via PIX, facilitating the anticipation of receivables, with information updated in real time, reducing operational costs. of the consumption tax reform. From 2027 onwards, the CBS (federal consumption tax) will be paid at the time of purchase, as long as it is made electronically.
➡️Forecasts for 2027, depending on resources available at the Central Bank:
International PIX: modality that is already accepted in some countries, such as Argentina, the United States (Miami and Orlando) and Portugal (Lisbon), among others. PIX, in other countries, is "partial", focused on specific establishments. The idea is that cross-border payments can be made definitively, between countries, in the future. The objective is to interconnect instant payment systems.
PIX in guarantee: it will be a type of credit for self-employed workers and entrepreneurs in the private sector. release of more accessible resources and interest.
APX by contact (offline model): the idea is to allow payment by contact even if the user does not have their device connected, that is, connected to the network via Wi-Fi or 5G.
➡️At the same time, the Central Bank continues to discuss the launch, in the future, of the rules for the so-called PIX Installments, which will be an alternative for 60 million people who currently do not have access to a credit card.
💵O Installment payments through PIX are already offered by several financial institutions, a formal line of credit, but the BC wants to standardize the rules - which tends to favor competition between banks and a drop in interest rates. This standardization has no defined deadline.
