Pros and cons

PagBank

Pros

  • Transfers to any bank are Free (unlimited TED and Pix to any bank), which covers both Pix and TED.
  • Cash access carries an allowance of BRL 0, so withdrawals do not add to the bill.
  • Payouts reach bank and wallet, and cross-border money clears in minutes to Pix or a PagBank account.

Cons

  • Currency conversion on the card costs 5%, which ranks 304 of 312 and sits above the site median of 0.5%.
  • The service is digital-only, as free atm, digital only and no credit check shows, so it suits people comfortable running money from an app.
  • Savings pay a variable rate, so returns can move.

Questions about each

PagBank

What does PagBank charge to hold an account?+

The monthly fee runs BRL 0 to BRL 75, and the account is built around no monthly charge. PagBank ranks 1 of 500 on monthly fee across the site, the site median is €0, and the top of the site range reaches €449.

Are Pix and TED transfers really free?+

Transfers to any bank are Free (unlimited TED and Pix to any bank), and the Pix transfer charge is BRL 0. Pix is instant around the clock, and cross-border payouts clear in minutes to Pix or a PagBank account, with payouts landing on bank and wallet.

What does it cost to take out cash?+

The ATM allowance is BRL 0, and free ATM withdrawals sit among the features listed on free atm, digital only and no credit check. Cash access is included in the account rather than sold as a separate add on, so taking money out does not raise the monthly bill.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering phone, chat, email and a help centre. The account is digital-only, one of the features listed on free atm, digital only and no credit check, so most questions are handled in the app rather than in person.
