Pix is an instant payment platform that was created by Banco Central do Brasil. It went into the testing phase in April 2020 and was later launched in November 2020.

Users can initiate transfers via channels including mobile banking, internet banking, bank branches, and ATMs. Transfers can be made using the recipient’s account number, Pix key (such as phone number, social security number, tax ID, or email address), or by scanning QR codes.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”
Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.
Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.
