How to discover a person’s pix by name
With the launch of Pix, the new instant payment system of the Central Bank, many people are wondering if it is possible to discover someone’s pix just by name. In this article, we will explore this issue and clarify some important points about Pix’s privacy and security.
What is Pix?
Pix is an instant payment system that allows the transfer of money between people, companies and financial institutions quickly and safely. With Pix, it is possible to perform transactions at any time of the day, every day of the week, including holidays.
PIX PRIVACY
One of the main points of Pix is the privacy of transactions. Unlike other means of payment, such as slips and bank transfers, the Pix does not require the disclosure of sensitive information, such as account and agency numbers. To make a transaction via Pix, just enter the recipient’s pix key, which can be a CPF, and mail, phone number or random key generated by the bank.
This pix characteristic ensures greater security and privacy for users. Thus, it is not possible to discover a person’s pix just by name, as there is no direct relationship between the name and the pix key.
How to find someone’s pix key?
To perform a transaction via Pix, the recipient must enter your pix key. If you want to make a transfer to someone and do not know what this person’s pix key is, there are some options:
- Contact the person and request the Pix key directly;
- Check if the person has made the Pix key available on some public profile, such as social networks or sales sites;
- Use online search services that can find information related to the Pix key, such as and mail or phone number.
However, it is important to emphasize that the privacy and safety of PIX must be preserved. It is neither ethical nor cool to use third party personal information without their consent.
Conclusion
Pix has brought a new way of making payments and transfers, bringing more agility and practicality to people’s daily lives. However, it is important to respect the privacy and security of the system, not trying to find out someone’s pix by name without the consent of that person.
If you need to make a transfer to someone and do not know what this person’s Pix key is, the ideal is to contact directly and request that information. Remember if you always respect the privacy and security of all involved.
