Bank limits (DePix / Plebank)
Rules applied by the bank to the payer (CPF/CNPJ). The platform cannot change these limits.
Starting daily cap if the CPF/CNPJ has never used DePix; then the limit evolves.
Maximum amount per single transaction (each payment).
Maximum daily total when the limit is fully evolved (e.g. 2 × R$ 3,000).
Same CPF/CNPJ — anti-fraud frequency cap.
Limits are per paying CPF/CNPJ: new payers start at R$ 500/day and the cap grows with DePix usage. The maximum daily total is R$ 6,000, but each transaction is capped at R$ 3,000 (e.g. two R$ 3,000 payments use the full daily allowance). Frequency is also capped (max. 3 payments every 30 minutes); violations may trigger refunds.

Full rule details
Initial limit: CPF/CNPJ that has never used DePix: up to R$ 500 per day (initial cap).
Evolution, daily cap, and per-transaction cap: The limit depends on how much the payer has already used DePix: it starts at R$ 500/day and increases over time (within about 24 hours it may double progressively). The maximum daily total is R$ 6,000. Each single transaction is capped at R$ 3,000 — so up to two R$ 3,000 payments can reach the full daily maximum.
When logged in, open the lookup page and enter the CPF or CNPJ:
You must be signed in.
- No record → treat limit as R$ 500.
- Record found → shows the current limit for that CPF/CNPJ.
- The payment may not be confirmed and may be automatically refunded.
- Funds return to the origin (paying CPF/CNPJ), per the bank’s process.
Refund timing: Not instant: goes through bank compliance before authorization.
- Large amounts without enough history (e.g. trying R$ 3,000 or the full daily cap before the limit has evolved).
- Many consecutive payments from the same CPF/CNPJ.
- Many test PIX from the same CPF/CNPJ (even small amounts).
- Behavior flagged as suspicious by the bank.
- The platform cannot change these limits.
- They are set by the bank and applicable Brazilian regulation.
Best practices
- Avoid repeating the same CPF/CNPJ without need.
- Respect the 30-minute window between payment batches.
- Check your limit on /find-customer (logged in) before large amounts.
- Avoid simulating many payments with your own CPF/CNPJ.
