PPRO, the leading local payments platform, today announced the launch of Pix Automático on the PPRO platform, on day one of the Central Bank of Brazil’s live rollout.

This newest enhancement to Brazil’s instant payment system, Pix, offers consumers an effortless and cost-effective way to manage recurring payments, by enabling seamless cross-regional recurring transactions.

As digital payments take center stage in everyday commerce, the systems designed to protect them are under increasing strain. Long-standing defences like tokenisation and encryption, while still valuable, are no longer enough to counter the growing sophistication of cyber threats. With advances in quantum computing and the rise of organised digital fraud, the payments industry must adopt stronger, smarter technologies—solutions that proactively secure transactions, authenticate users in real time, and adapt to threats before they escalate.

Nubank announces the launch of Automated Pix, a new option to pay recurring bills with convenience and security, available to customers starting June 16. The new feature will be accompanied by the ‘Search Upcoming Bills’ feature, which will give customers complete freedom to choose how and when to pay – whether fully automatically or in a facilitated manner, with alerts and simple one-click approvals directly in the app.
