How can I turn USDC into Pix?

With conta.vc, you receive USDC through a compatible address and network, the amount is converted into your balance in reais, and it can then be sent by Pix. Pix requires your identity verification to be complete.

The path

From getting started to using it, without skipping a step.

  1. 01

    Copy the right address

    In the app, choose Receive and use the address for the network shown. Don’t assume every address accepts every network.

  2. 02

    Send the USDC

    The source wallet sends the asset to the address shown. For a new source, a small first transfer reduces the risk of an operational error.

  3. 03

    Track the conversion

    Once the incoming transfer is confirmed, the flow converts the amount into your balance in reais. The app shows the result of the transaction.

  4. 04

    Make the Pix payment

    With Pix unlocked, choose to send, enter the Pix key or scan the QR code, and authorize with your face or fingerprint.

Receive and use, in the same product

The most common problem for people who receive USDC in Brazil isn’t just converting it. It’s getting from the asset received to an everyday expense without switching between a wallet, an exchange, a bank, and Pix. conta.vc brings those steps together in a single balance in reais.

That doesn’t turn USDC into a direct Pix at the network level. They’re separate steps: first the incoming transfer and the conversion; then a Pix order carried out by a licensed provider.

Costs and net amount

Dollar transactions have a 2.5% fee. conta.vc doesn’t charge for Pix. Before confirming, use the net amount shown in the app as your reference to decide whether the transaction meets your needs.

Exchange rate, product fee, and execution variance are different concepts. The transaction screen is the right place to check the actual total at that moment.

Who authorizes each step

The incoming transfer arrives at the address associated with your conta. For the amount to go out as Pix, you start and authorize the order in the app. conta.vc has no independent key that could create that transfer on your behalf.

The Pix provider takes part in the crossing into the banking system. That’s different from keeping your everyday balance in custody with the provider.

Three precautions before sending

Check the asset, the network, and the address on the app’s current screen. Don’t reuse old instructions if the interface is showing something else. A completed on-chain transfer normally can’t be reversed.

  • Use only currencies and networks shown in the app’s flow.
  • Make a small test transfer when the source wallet is new.
  • Complete identity verification before the moment you need to use Pix.

Makes sense for

When Conta is a good fit

  • People who already receive or hold USDC on a network the app accepts.
  • People who want to use that money for expenses paid by Pix.
  • People who want to see the converted result as a balance in reais.
  • International payments that arrive via wallet.

Product limits

When to look for another solution

  • Assets or networks that don’t appear in the app’s flow.
  • People who need to keep the amount denominated in USDC inside conta.vc.
  • People who haven’t completed verification and need to make a Pix payment right away.
  • People looking for a reversible transaction after sending to the wrong network.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

For other questions, see the full help center.

Can I make a Pix payment using USDC?

Yes, in two steps within the product: the compatible USDC comes in and becomes a balance in reais; then you authorize the Pix.

Does the Pix recipient receive crypto?

No. The recipient receives reais through Pix. The conversion happens before the order goes to the banking system.

Do I need KYC?

Identity verification is required for any Pix transaction. It isn’t a credit check.

Which network should I use?

Use exactly the network and address the app shows for that transaction. Check availability on the current screen.
