Using the PIX System in Brazil: real experience from chats

From real experience

To pay via PIX using Russian banking apps in Brazil: 1. Ensure the banking application is updated to the latest version, as older versions may restrict QR code scanning on iOS.
2. If the feature is missing or shows an error, check if the banking institution supports direct PIX QR code integration for the specific account type. 3. Transaction delays may occur during weekends.
