Sending money via Pix from Spain: Is it really possible?
Currently, you can’t use Pix itself to send money online from Spain. The reasoning is simple – linking European bank accounts to the system is unavailable. So, to convert EUR to BRL and transfer it to any Pix user, you’ll need assistance from third-party services. In particular, Profee.
Why Profee

- Cost-efficient. Great rates and fair fees are the perfect pair for your budget. With Profee, more money reaches your recipient, rather than disappearing halfway through hidden charges.
