Pix Key Validation
Verify the owner of a Pix key before making a payment
Before sending money with our payment solution, it's important to ensure you are paying to the right person and no mistake is made with Pix Keys.
Pix Keys refer to the alias or ID used by Pix to route the payment to the appropriate bank account. Pix Keys can be of different forms:
- CPF or CNPJ: local personal or company IDs (use only numbers without special symbols)
- Email address
- Phone number (include with country code, +55)
- Random key (alphanumeric)
With this endpoint, passing the pix key you will receive the name of the bank account owner for verification.
