Nubank has launched Automated Pix, a new functionality that enables customers to pay recurring bills with increased ease and security.

The feature became available on June 16 and is designed to support payments for services such as utilities, internet, rent, gym memberships, school fees, and streaming platforms via Brazil’s instant payment system, Pix.

The bank is also rolling out a companion feature called Search Upcoming Bills, which will gradually become available over the coming week.

This tool notifies users of upcoming recurring bills, offering them the option to either approve or decline payment directly in the app.

Customers can choose to activate fully automated payments or manage each transaction individually, with alerts and single-click approvals.

“This allows them to decide whether to authorise the payment with a click or decline it,”

said Maristela Calazans, Nubank’s General Manager of the Nu Account.

“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 Search Upcoming Bills function is aimed at users who prefer to review each bill before authorising payment, providing more control over their monthly finances.

According to Nubank, security measures for Automated Pix are consistent with those already in place for its Pix services.

These include PIN confirmation for manual approvals, real-time alerts for suspicious activity or unfamiliar keys, the “Street Mode” feature that restricts transactions outside secure environments, configurable daily Pix limits, and the option to maintain a list of trusted contacts.
