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.

The “Search Upcoming Bills” feature is ideal for customers who prefer to review their bills before each payment, helping them maintain financial control throughout the month with autonomy. The feature will be available gradually next week.

“We believe that empowering our customers is essential. With ‘Search Upcoming Bills’, we combine the convenience of Automated Pix with the freedom to decide how to pay bills. The tool notifies customers about bills that follow the recurring billing model. This allows them to decide whether to authorize the payment with a click or decline it”, explains Maristela Calazans, Nubank’s general manager of the Nu  Account.

With Automated Pix, customers can easily set up payments for recurring bills such as water, electricity, internet, condo fees, gym memberships, school fees, and streaming services using Pix.

The security of Automated Pix follows the high standards already adopted by Nubank for other Pix features, including confirmation via PIN for each manually authorized payment, real-time fraud and suspicious key alerts, Street Mode (Modo Rua), which limits transactions outside secure networks, daily Pix limits controls and a “trusted contacts list” that can be set up.

How to use Automated Pix with Search Upcoming Bills

Starting the Payment:

The billing company will provide a QR Code or the option to copy and paste the Pix key for payment. By scanning the code or pasting the key into the Nubank app, the customer will automatically identify if the payment is enabled for Automated Pix.

Setting up Automated Pix:

If the payment allows Automated Pix, the customer will see a screen with the account details.

There will be two options:

• Enable Automated Payment: Confirm and register the payment to be made automatically monthly.
• Pay upon approval (“Search Upcoming Bills” feature): Choose to receive monthly alerts to approve payment on the due date with just one click.

Automated Payment:

By opting for automated payment, Nubank will charge the amount on each month’s due date without needing any new action.

Payment upon approval:

If the customer prefers to receive alerts, Nu will send notifications for the customer to approve the payment with a click and confirm their security PIN.

Full Management:

Customers can manage all Automated Pix payments at any time in the Payment Assistant area of ​​the app. There, it is possible to pause, cancel, or modify authorizations as needed.
