We’ll tell you everything about Pix and why it’s the best payment method for your trip to Brazil.

If you’re planning your next vacation to Brazil, you can’t miss the Pix payments we offer at belo. It’s the simplest, most affordable, and safest option for making purchases anywhere in the neighboring country.

No, seriously. Anywhere: from the busiest shopping malls to the beaches and street stalls, you can pay with Pix anywhere! Stick around and we’ll tell you all the details.

What is Pix and how does it work?

Pix is an electronic payment system offered by the Central Bank of Brazil that allows you to make payments quickly and easily. Everyone in Brazil uses it, to the point that it’s more popular than debit or credit cards.

To pay, you just need to scan the Pix QR code, enter the amount, and you’re done!

At belo we integrated with Pix not only to make this product available to everyone, but also to optimize it even more. Now you can pay in Brazil directly with the balance in your belo account, whether in Argentine pesos or cryptocurrencies. When you make a payment, the amount is debited from your account and automatically converted to reais, hassle-free!

The credit is processed very quickly, in no more than 30 seconds. The other party will receive reais without any problem.

Benefits of paying with Pix in Brazil

For Argentinians: this solution does not work like a card would for purchases in foreign currency, so exchange controls do not apply. You’ll be able to see the conversion exchange rate on screen when reviewing the transaction in the app, and that will be the final cost.

• No need to have reais: so you won’t need to exchange dollars or pesos at an exchange office.

• It’s safer: it avoids carrying too much cash and avoids the risks of card cloning or loss, which are common among Brazilian tourists.

• The conversion to reais is done at the time of payment, so when you return from your trip to Brazil you won’t have extra reais, you’ll simply need to transfer the pesos or USDT/USDC to other wallets immediately if you want.
