We have the example of Santander and Bradesco banks and, recently, Itaú bank and Mercado Pago, which launched the idea of ​​"Seguro Pix" for its users in order to ensure more safety and comfort for their customers.

Pix insurance: how will it work?

The way this insurance works is very simple. The bank customer will pay a monthly fee that can vary between 3 and 16 reais, having the guarantee that, at a necessary moment, he will be able to activate this insured benefit.

In addition, the guaranteed indemnity may vary between R$1,500.00 and R$30,000.00, depending on the supplying bank. However, Pix insurance should only be triggered in a specific case, such as a physical threat and restriction of freedom at the time of the transaction, such as a lightning kidnapping.

Thus, in order to be entitled to withdraw the insurance amount, it is first necessary to open a police report as required evidence. Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that this benefit is individual and non-transferable, and can only be used by the account holder.

Some measures that can help to avoid a coup

  • Always check the sender of the transaction;
  • Avoid opening pages from suspicious sites;
  • Do not click on links received by strangers and check with their source, if it is someone you know;
  • Always go to the official websites of your banks and check any information to see if it is true;
  • Do not make transfers without first confirming by phone or in person;
  • Never give your passwords or access codes to anyone;
  • Only register your Pix keys by some official means of your bank;
  • Don't provide any information via phone to make any kind of registration on Pix or WhatsApp (this doesn't exist).
