# Brazilian (PIX, PIX Safe & TED)
> Step-by-step guide to adding a Brazilian bank beneficiary on Devdraft, so you can send payouts via PIX, PIX Safe, or TED.
# Overview
Before you can send a payout to someone in Brazil, you need to add them as a recipient, choose a payment rail, and provide their bank details. This guide walks through the full flow from tapping **+** on the Recipients screen to submitting a completed Brazilian bank beneficiary.
Brazilian beneficiaries can be paid via three payment rails: **PIX** (instant, via PIX key), **PIX Safe** (PIX with bank verification), or **TED** (same-day bank transfer). The fields you need to fill in on the Bank Details screen change depending on which rail you choose.
***
## What You Need Before You Start
Have the following ready before you begin:
| Info | Notes |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Payment Rail** | **PIX**, **PIX Safe**, or **TED** |
| **Owner type** | Whether the beneficiary is an **Individual** or a **Business** |
| **Display name / Business Name** | Individual: a display name, only visible to you. Business: the registered business name |
| **Recipient relationship** | Your relationship to this recipient (e.g. Independent contractor) |
| **Business Industry** | Business only — the recipient's industry |
| **PIX key** | Required for PIX and PIX Safe — CPF, email, phone, or random key |
| **Bank code** | Required for PIX Safe and TED |
| **Branch code** | Required for PIX Safe and TED |
| **CPF / CNPJ** | Required for PIX Safe and TED |
***
## Step 1 — Start Adding a Recipient
From the **Recipients** tab, tap the **+** icon in the top-left corner.
***
## Step 2 — Choose the Recipient Type
The **Add Recipient** popup opens with four destination types: **International bank**, Stablecoin wallet, Zambia bank, and Zambia mobile money.
Select **International bank**.
***
## Step 3 — Choose the Country / Account Type
A second **Add Recipient** screen lists the supported account types:
* US Account — ACH & Wire, routing + account number
* European (IBAN) — SEPA, IBAN + BIC
* Mexican (CLABE) — 18-digit CLABE account number
* **Brazilian Account — PIX, PIX Safe & TED**
* Argentine Account — Transfers 3.0 (CVU, CBU or alias)
* Colombian Account — ACH Colombia bank transfer
* International SWIFT — Cross-border wire via SWIFT/BIC
Select **Brazilian Account**.

## Step 4 — Choose the Payment Rail
The **Payment Rail** screen lists the three ways to pay a Brazilian recipient:
| Rail | Notes |
| ------------ | ---------------------------- |
| **PIX** | Instant payments via PIX key |
| **PIX Safe** | PIX with bank verification |
| **TED** | Same-day bank transfer |
Select the rail that matches how you want to pay this recipient — this determines which fields you'll fill in on the Bank Details screen in Step 6.
***
## Step 5 — Owner Details (1/2)
The **Owner** screen collects who the beneficiary is. Start by selecting **Account Owner Type**: **Individual** or **Business**. The fields below change depending on your selection.
| Field | Required | Notes |
| -------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Account Owner Type** | Yes | Select **Individual** |
| **Display name** | Optional | Only visible to you, e.g. *"Hry"* |
| **Recipient Relationship** | Yes | Your relationship to this recipient, e.g. **Independent contractor** |
| Field | Required | Notes |
| -------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Account Owner Type** | Yes | Select **Business** |
| **Business Name** | Yes | The registered business name, e.g. *"Schema Labs"* |
| **Recipient Relationship** | Yes | Your relationship to this recipient, e.g. **Independent contractor** |
| **Business Industry** | Yes | Select from the industry picker, e.g. **All Other Business Support Services** |
Unlike the US, European, and Mexican flows, there's no **Bank Name** field on this screen — bank details are collected on the next screen instead, and vary based on the payment rail you selected in Step 4.
Once all required fields are filled in, tap **Continue** to proceed to Bank Details.
***
## Step 6 — Bank Details (2/2)
The final screen collects the recipient's account details under an **Account** section. Which fields appear depends on the payment rail you chose in Step 4:
| Field | Required | Notes |
| ----------- | -------- | -------------------------------- |
| **PIX key** | Yes | CPF, email, phone, or random key |
| Field | Required | Notes |
| --------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PIX key** | Yes | CPF, email, phone, or random key |
| **Bank code** | Yes | e.g. `001` |
| **Branch code** | Yes | e.g. `0001` |
| **CPF / CNPJ** | Yes | The recipient's individual (CPF) or business (CNPJ) tax ID |
| Field | Required | Notes |
| --------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Bank code** | Yes | e.g. `001` |
| **Branch code** | Yes | e.g. `0001` |
| **CPF / CNPJ** | Yes | The recipient's individual (CPF) or business (CNPJ) tax ID |
Double-check the PIX key, bank code, and CPF/CNPJ before submitting — an incorrect value is the most common reason a payout fails or is misdirected.
Once every field is complete, tap **Add Bank Beneficiary** to save the recipient.

## What Happens Next
Once saved, the beneficiary appears on the **Recipients** screen with a **Bank** label under their name, and is ready to receive a payout via the payment rail you selected.
