To authorize, you must grant explicit consent to your PSP (bank or fintech) \u2014 usually through the app \u2014 indicating the payee, frequency and limits. To cancel, revoke the authorization in the same app or request cancellation from the PSP, keeping proof.<\/p>\n<p>This guide shows, step by step, how to authorize and cancel Pix Autom\u00e1tico, how to minimize the risk of improper charges, what to do in case of insufficient balance and how to verify charges.

Operational rules about authorizations and cancellations are set out by the Banco Central (BCB).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_steps_to_authorize_a_Pix_Automatico\"><\/span>Practical steps to authorize a Pix Autom\u00e1tico<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open your PSP\u2019s app (bank or fintech) and find the Pix or recurring payments section.
