The new feature for Android utilizes NFC technology, offering fast payments with account balance or credit, in up to 12 installments, directly within the app.
Nubank announces the launch of tap-to-pay Pix, a new feature that integrates NFC technology into the app to simplify in-person payments. „The solution offers customers an even more agile way to use Pix, eliminating the need to scan QR codes. To use it, customers must simply have a Pix key registered with Nubank.” – according to the press release.
„Starting today, the new feature will be gradually rolled out to individual customers with Android systems. With Nubank’s tap-to-pay Pix, users will be able to make payments on any enabled point-of-sale (POS) terminal, choosing between paying with their available account balance or credit, in up to 12 installments.” – the neobank said.
For even greater convenience, Nubank offers the option to create a shortcut for tap-to-pay Pix directly on your phone’s home screen. Simply access the “Pix” or “Pay” section in the app, select “tap-to-pay Pix,” and click the “Settings” icon to add the shortcut.
„The payment experience is simple and fast: with the Nubank app (or the “Tap-to-Pay Pix” shortcut) open, just bring your phone close to the POS terminal. The payment screen appears automatically, and confirmation is done via biometrics or a four-digit password, ensuring transaction security.” – explained the bank.
Nubank’s tap-to-pay Pix inherits the high security standards already implemented in Pix and throughout the Nubank ecosystem, including customizable “Street Mode” limits and transactional limits within the Pix Area.
How to make a tap-to-pay Pix with Nubank:
Check NFC: Ensure your Android phone has NFC technology and that it is enabled in your device’s settings.
Tap and Pay: With the “Pix” option selected on the POS terminal, open the Nubank app (or the “Tap-to-Pay Pix” shortcut) and bring your phone close.
Choose Payment Method: Select whether to pay with your account balance or use your credit card limit.
Pay in Installments (if desired): If you choose credit, select the desired number of installments and view the total purchase amount, including interest rates and IOF tax, when applicable. Payments with account balance have no additional fees.
Confirm Transaction: Use your password or biometrics to finalize the payment.
More convenience with Pix
Tap-to-pay Pix joins other features offered by Nubank to optimize the use of this payment method. Within the app, customers can already use Pix audio or message, which uses AI to speed up processing, promoting savings of up to 60% in transaction time.
To access the feature, simply enter the Pix area, click on the purple bar at the top of the screen, and follow the instructions. With it, you can send a Pix using audio or a short message. The solution has fraud prevention technology and will require the user’s four-digit security PIN.
