The global mobility and urban services platform, inDrive has now expanded its services in Brazil with technology provided by open finance platform, Belvo. Now, customers will be able to pay seamlessly with Pix when utilising inDrive’s ride-hailing and delivery services.
Using Pix via open finance reflects inDrive’s commitment to providing limitless payment choices when using the company’s services. Working with Belvo, the new feature enables fast, secure, and intuitive Pix transactions — fully embedded within the inDrive app.
Stefano Mazzaferro, Brazil country manager at inDrive, commented: “We believe true innovation doesn’t always mean creating something new — sometimes, it means making what people already love and do even better. Pix is part of everyday life in Brazil, and by making it seamless, we’re giving our users the freedom to pay on their terms, in a way that’s at the same time natural, safe, and fast.”
How it works
The instant payment system — commonly referred to in the industry as RTP (real-time payment) or A2A (account-to-account) — marks a significant breakthrough in the Brazilian market. With Pix via open finance now available alongside cash and card, in some cities, inDrive users across Brazil can choose exactly how they want to pay.
Once the option is selected, passengers and delivery customers are guided through a simple in-app flow to complete payment via their preferred bank. Drivers receive funds directly to their bank accounts in real time — with no manual data exchange required. The shift to seamless Pix isn’t just about following trends — it’s about meeting people where they are.
Unlike the traditional Pix experience, which often requires switching apps or manually entering data, inDrive leverages Pix via Open Finance through Belvo’s regulated infrastructure. This allows for a fully embedded payment journey — where users authenticate and complete the transaction without ever leaving the app. It’s Pix, reimagined for a truly frictionless experience.
In addition to freedom of choice, the new flow brings tangible benefits for all users. For drivers, it means fewer cash-handling risks, faster and guaranteed payouts, and a smoother daily workflow. For passengers, the experience is frictionless — after a one-time setup, Pix becomes the default payment for future trips, with no extra steps required.
Connecting users to their financial institutions
According to PCMI data, over 90 per cent of Brazil’s adults use Pix regularly, and more than 50 per cent of inDrive users were already manually transferring Pix payments within the app. By embedding Pix directly into the platform, inDrive is not only enhancing convenience but also deepening local relevance in one of its most important markets.
Through this partnership with Belvo, inDrive securely connects users to their financial institutions while maintaining a true peer-to-peer model. The platform does not process or hold user funds, ensuring transparency and regulatory alignment in these transactions.
Leandro Piano, CFO, Belvo, added: “Our mission at Belvo is to empower companies like inDrive to harness the full potential of Open Finance and deliver faster, safer, and more efficient payment solutions to their customers. Pix via Open Finance represents a major step forward in digital payments, making transactions simpler and more accessible.
“With this partnership, inDrive strengthens its commitment to offering greater payment flexibility and options to its users in Brazil, while Belvo continues to expand Open Finance’s impact across the region.”
