Anyone having trouble with Pix?

I’m asking because some money disappeared between Nubank and Itaú. It’s not a life-changing amount, but it’s been missed.

(Nubank confirmed it, a receipt was issued, but it never arrived at Itaú.)

I opened a ticket with both. They’ll get back to me next week.

My trust (in Nubank? In Itaú? In Pix?) took a hit after this.

Has anyone else had money vanish? Did it get resolved later?

Update 6:20 p.m.: It’s been resolved! All good, folks.

It landed in my account, three days later. I think Itaú just needed to make some adjustments.

I don’t know if it’s related, but they (Itaú) enabled Pix for me today.

In my tests with small amounts, there was no problem. Since it’s still in the testing phase, the best thing to do is keep the receipt and present it to the bank, as you did.

I’ve only made one transfer so far using Pix, for a considerable amount (i.e., not a test of R$ 0.10) to a different account holder. But I didn’t bother to ask if it was received. I’ll ask and come back here to let you know.

If I had to guess one, I’d guess Nubank, since they’ve already had a similar problem with boleto clearing (if I’m not mistaken, it was this year). Here on the community and on Tecnoblog there are more details about that boleto case. But given that Pix is still in the testing phase, it could be something related to Pix itself.

And I had already made a lot of one-cent, ten-cent PIX payments. Sometimes it would give an error, but the money wouldn’t leave the account.

When I went to pay a smaller expenses card – it was already past 5 PM – this happened.

It’s a testing phase, I know, but money disappearing is just too much excitement for me :joy:

I’ve made several smaller ones, and they all went through fine, except for this one, which was 390 reais. Just bad luck.

Since Nubank generated a receipt and even that huge transaction ID (from the blockchain?), I’m moving my account to Itaú for now.

It’ll probably get resolved and won’t happen again. On Twitter there are about three cases, and at least one involves Itaú and Nubank.

Just one transfer from Iti to Nubank took a few minutes to go through, but other than that, everything was fine. It went through instantly.

Really, lots of people have this same problem — money transferred that never reaches its destination.
Let’s see how this all plays out… on Monday, Pix will be available for everyone.

I asked the person and they said they received the Pix. It was also from Nubank to Itaú. But I had already registered the destination account for TED before Pix was available.

Just landed a moment ago.

All good, folks.

It took a little while because the team was tightening a few loose ends, but in the end it landed right on the account just before the official launch.

Good morning everyone,

Regarding the issues with PIX, I still don’t know what to do because I made a transfer yesterday 11/17/2020 at 10:40 AM and until now 11/18/2020 at 10:50 AM it’s still under review, and I heard it would be in seconds, but what kind of seconds are these days.

Transfers in seconds are the standard case. If it has fallen under review, something happened in your transaction that required manual analysis. This is super rare but can also happen with TEDs. It’s an important security system to prevent transactions that shouldn’t happen.

Rest assured, this money won’t be lost. Depending on the bank (hey, Caixa), these little errors are happening, but nothing that causes any loss.
