A fintech Magie, that has gained prominence in the financial market, just took an important step by integrating 10 banks into WhatsApp, allowing its users to make payments and transfers via PIX using account balances from different financial institutions. The news will be available starting next Monday (16), with the promise of providing a practical and safe solution for the year-end parties, without the need to access banking apps directly on the main phone
With the support of resources from Meta and OpenAI, Magie has stood out for its innovation in its platform, that allows for simple and quick financial transactions through text commands, audio or image. Since its launch in 2024, the fintech has already moved R$ 300 million and recently completed an investment round worth R$ 28 million, led by the American investment fund Lux Capital, with participation also from the Brazilian fund Canary
"Our intention is to increasingly make life easier and bring security to people". Magie allows the customer to uninstall bank apps from their phone and leave home with just WhatsApp. AND, of course, for any transaction made it is necessary to authenticate through a password, in addition to the possibility for the user to set a limit for PIX and payments, declares Luiz Ramalho, CEO and founder of Magie
The proposal of Magie is to meet the needs of users who seek a quick way to make multiple daily payments while also ensuring greater security by avoiding the use of banking apps in public places. A fintech, that has already implemented Open Finance technology at the beginning of December, expects a significant increase in the number of transactions during the holiday season, offering a solution that can transform the way Brazilians manage their finances on a daily basis
The ten banks that will be available in the new feature are: Itaú, Nubank,C6 Bank,Santander, Bradesco,BTG, PicPay, XP,Inter Bank,Banco do Brasil and Mercado Pago
The new feature will be enabled three days before the deactivation of the native payment feature of Whatsapp. Despite that, Meta Brazil supports Magie's initiative, offering digital infrastructure and support for development in your application
Magie is also increasingly investing in security. Today, for example, already ensures that users' passwords are not recorded in WhatsApp conversations and uses robust protection systems to ensure the security of banking transactions. Soon, must also integrate a facial recognition system
"We bet on the Brazilian public's appetite for innovations in financial services", driven by the popularity of Pix. Combining advanced technology and a familiar interface, Magie positions itself as an efficient and secure alternative for everyday banking transactions,"completes Luiz Ramalho"
