Boku gets Brazil license to launch Pix recurring payments by 2026

Boku, a local payment solutions provider, has received Payment Institution authorisation from the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) to support Latin America’s fast-evolving digital economy.

The licence empowers Boku to operate as both a Payment Initiator and E-money Issuer, enabling the company to actively participate in Brazil’s Open Finance framework and offer advanced Pix-based capabilities, including Pix Automático, by early 2026.
