Complete Guide to Paying with Pix in Brazil (2026 Edition)

For foreigners · No CPF path included

Pix is Brazil’s real-time payment rail. By 2026 it is the default for everything from beach chairs to business invoices. This guide explains how tourists can use Pixwithout a CPF via ZazuPix.

What is Pix?

Pix moves BRL between accounts in seconds, 24/7. Recipients share a QR code or a key (CPF, phone, email, or random). Merchants love it because fees are low and settlement is fast.

Can foreigners use Pix?

Yes — if you have a way to fund BRL and send Pix. Traditional banks require CPF. ZazuPix provides a traveler wallet: top up with an international card, then pay any Pix QR/key.

How to start

  1. Create your account in the ZazuPix app.
  2. Add funds (Stripe).
  3. Scan or paste Pix — confirm with biometrics.
