Brazil Mandates Pix Automático for Interbank Debits as CMN Sets 2027 Sustainability Accounting Rules

The measure requires a standardized in‑app authorization by payers to curb improper debits and strengthen user control.

Overview

  • The new rule applies when the receiver is a legal entity or an institution not authorized by the monetary authority.
  • The requirement takes effect on October 13, 2025, with institutions given until January 1, 2026 to adapt contracts and systems.
  • The Central Bank says the change will increase competition, bolster security, cut delinquency, improve operational efficiency and lower collection costs.
  • Pix Automático operates within Brazil’s Open Finance infrastructure, enabling cross‑institution services that companies can use.
  • A separate CMN resolution standardizes accounting for sustainability-related assets and liabilities from January 2027, aligning with OCPC 10 and tailored to financial institutions.
