BCB Resolution No. 503 — Amends Resolution BCB No. 1 to Adjust Maximum Value Limits for Pix Transactions

BCB Resolution No. 503 amends the regulation of the Pix payment arrangement by modifying Article 37, paragraph 4, to establish exceptions to the maximum transaction value limit. These exceptions apply when a Pix participant accesses the RSFN via a PSTI that has completed Central Bank accreditation and provides an assurance report from an independent audit firm registered with the CVM, confirming specific security controls such as private key separation, transaction integrity validation, and distinct certificates for different environments. The resolution also exempts transactions involving the National Treasury Secretariat or payments of the Digital FGTS Guide from this limit. Additionally, it grants the Central Bank the authority to temporarily waive the limit for up to ninety days upon participant request, pending compliance with the specified security requirements.
