  Good. Then they can deploy their solution using a protocol available to all and not a closed platform made to lock the market. We've had enough of that, didn't we?

    WhatsApp was always planning on implementing PIX. But PIX won't be available for at least another six months - so they went with the current system instead while they waited.

  We've changed the URL to that from https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/24/21301470/whatsapp-payments-brazil-suspended-central-bank-risk-regulators https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/24/21301470/whatsapp-payment.... This is the third or fourth theverge.com submission we've had to do that for in the last couple days.

    To be fair to the OP, they probably don't have a Bloomberg subscription.
