PicPay recently received authorization from the Central Bank to increase its capital by R$150 million. In a note, PicPay told the press: “the capital increase was made to support the investment plan focused on growth and profitability, an agenda already started in 2022, and reiterates the confidence of shareholders in the development of the business".

Transition to Fintech

An investigation carried out by the Valor portal revealed that J&F, which manages both PicPay and Banco Original, is transferring the Bank's retail portfolio to Fintech. Fintechs are companies that have a completely digital product.

Currently, the company has around 32 million active customers and, in 2022, merged Banco Original and PicPay.

With the authorization of the Central Bank, PicPay Bank was created, a company founded by the union of a digital platform and a bank, which had BRL 19 billion in capital.

open finance

It was announced that the company will enter the open finance. It is a system for sharing bank data between PicPay and other banks.

It is worth remembering that PicPay has already received authorization from more than one million customers for this. In this way, the company will be able to act as a payment initiator.

In practice, this allows transactions like Pix, using the app's own balance. This novelty will bring more practicality to users, allowing more uses for the balance of the application.
