Protocol analysis, Pix statement exports, card transaction feeds, and CDB balance sync for the RecargaPay: Pix Cartão e Conta super app
RecargaPay is a Brazilian super app with over 13 million users offering Pix funded by credit cards, guaranteed-limit and Platinum/Black cashback cards, CDB investments yielding up to 120% of CDI, and bill/top-up flows. We turn those screens into structured data feeds your backend can query, audit, and synchronize under Open Finance Brasil and LGPD constraints.
OAuth 2.0 / OIDC-based login mapping, CPF/CNPJ identification, MFA challenge handling (SMS/email/device), and long-lived refresh flow. We document the mobile app's authorization sequence and wrap it into a stable service-to-service token exchange, including device binding and session rotation for long-running jobs.
Query sent and received Pix by date range, key type (CPF/email/phone/EVP), QR code, or counterparty bank. Each record is normalized into endToEndId, payer/payee, bank ISPB, value, status, and raw receipt blob for audit storage and tax reporting.
Stream authorizations, captures, refunds, and installment plans for Guaranteed / Platinum / Black cards. Includes cashback accrual (1.5% on all purchases), merchant MCC, currency for international purchases, and 3DS/contactless flags for fraud review.
Daily snapshots of CDB positions (daily liquidity at 107% CDI, 24-month at 120% CDI up to R$5,000), wallet balance yields (110% of CDI), FGC coverage flags, and maturity schedules. Ideal for PFM and wealth dashboards that aggregate Brazilian fixed-income products.
Pull payment receipts for utility bills, telecom top-ups (Vivo, TIM, Claro, Claro Nxt, Correios, Surf), and transport recharges across São Paulo, Recife, Vitória, São Luís, Maceió, Salvador and Curitiba. Enables spend-categorization engines and loyalty back-offices.
For the PJ account line: 0.75% debit / 3.09% credit acceptance via Tap-to-Pay, installment collection, and settlement events. We expose the merchant POV so marketplaces and ERP tools can book sales, fees, and 110% CDI balance growth on settled funds.
The table below catalogues the RecargaPay surfaces we typically wrap into a data contract. Every row is tied to a concrete screen in the super app and delivered as a versioned JSON endpoint or batch export.
| Data type | Source (app screen / feature) | Granularity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pix transactions | "Pix" tab — sent, received, scheduled, refunds | Per transaction, with endToEndId and ISPB routing | Reconciliation, anti-fraud rules, tax export |
| Card transactions & invoices | Guaranteed / Platinum / Black card views | Per authorization + monthly invoice rollup | Expense tracking, cashback validation, accounting |
| CDB investment positions | "Investimentos" module (daily liquidity, 24M CDB) | Daily snapshot with gross/net yield and FGC flag | Wealth dashboards, risk control, portfolio analytics |
| Wallet and guaranteed-limit balances | Home screen balance & "Limite Garantido" | Real-time (on-demand) + end-of-day snapshot | Treasury, cash-flow forecasting, credit scoring |
| Bills, boletos, top-ups | "Pagar contas", "Recarga" screens | Per payment, with barcode/convênio code and receipt | Spend categorization, loyalty, back-office posting |
| PJ merchant sales | Tap-to-Pay / PJ account dashboard | Per sale with fee breakdown and settlement date | ERP sync, settlement reports, marketplace rollups |
| Personal loan & BNPL | "Empréstimo" & "Parcelar Pix" flows | Per contract with rate (up to 18% p.m.) and term | Credit bureau sync, collections, compliance audit |
| Referral & cashback ledger | "Indique e ganhe" R$20 program | Per event credit | Loyalty engines, growth analytics |
Context: SMBs and accountants that need to close books monthly. Data involved: Pix statement, card invoices, boleto payments, PJ sales. Mapping: we pull the full /statements feed, tag each row with LGPD-minimized fields, and emit SPED / e-Financeira-friendly CSV so bookkeepers feed ContaAzul or Omie without manual screenshots.
Context: a personal finance app consolidating Brazilian accounts. Data involved: RecargaPay wallet balance, CDB positions, card transactions. Mapping: our adapter normalizes payloads into the Open Finance Brasil v2 resource model (accounts, credit-cards-accounts, investments/bank-fixed-incomes) so one pipeline serves multiple institutions.
Context: a lender evaluating a borrower who uses RecargaPay as primary account. Data involved: inflow/outflow Pix, recurring bill payments, BNPL "Parcelar Pix" history. Mapping: we compute 3/6/12-month income stability and debt-to-income indicators and expose them as scoring features, aligning with BCB credit-information sharing rules.
Context: a franchise receiving payments on multiple RecargaPay PJ accounts. Data involved: sales events, 0.75%/3.09% fee deductions, daily 110% CDI accruals, settlement windows. Mapping: we emit a settlement ledger webhook matching Pix receipt endToEndId to each order in the POS, eliminating end-of-day blind spots.
Context: a regulated institution that needs to justify every data pull. Data involved: consent IDs, scopes, expiry (max 365 days under Open Finance Brasil), and revocation events. Mapping: we persist consent records, emit ANPD-ready access logs, and support user-initiated portability or deletion requests under LGPD Article 18.

Each screen below corresponds to a data surface we can map into an API contract — from the Pix keypad and cashback card view to the CDB investment and merchant dashboard.
Every delivery is scoped against the Brazilian regulatory stack. RecargaPay operates as a Payment Institution under Banco Central do Brasil (BCB) supervision and is already a participant inside the Open Finance Brasil directory, which means authorized data sharing can flow through the officially certified FAPI 1.0 + OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect channel (consent API with a maximum duration of 365 days).
Where a direct Open Finance connection is not yet available for a given scope, we rely on user-authorized screen flows, store consent artefacts, mask PII in non-production, and deliver an audit-ready record so your DPO can demonstrate lawful processing under the LGPD.
A minimal pipeline looks like this:
endToEndId / invoice id, and persisted in encrypted Postgres or S3 buckets with LGPD-tagged retention.RecargaPay is a B2C-first super app headquartered in São Paulo, backed by IDB Invest and other institutional investors, with Android and iOS reach across every Brazilian state. Its 13 million+ active users skew toward the mass-market and under-banked segment — people who top up prepaid phones, recharge transit cards, pay bills with installments, and use Pix funded by credit cards because they lack a traditional bank limit. A fast-growing PJ (business) base of micro-merchants uses the Tap-to-Pay line to accept cards on a phone. This profile makes RecargaPay particularly interesting for accounting SaaS, credit bureaus, gig-economy platforms, and neobanks looking to understand income flows outside the traditional Nubank/Inter/Itaú footprint.
Brazilian users rarely rely on a single wallet. An integration that works for RecargaPay typically needs to sit next to the following apps — we handle each one with the same OpenData / Open Finance Brasil playbook.
These apps co-exist in most Brazilian wallets, so an integration platform that understands RecargaPay's Pix, card, and CDB surfaces usually ends up needing a coherent adapter strategy for Nubank, PicPay, Mercado Pago, PagBank, Inter, C6, Will, Next, Digio, and AstroPay as well.
We are an independent studio focused on fintech and open-data API integration, working primarily with overseas clients who need Brazilian data surfaces without operating local infrastructure themselves. The team includes engineers with background in Latin American banks, payment gateways, mobile protocol analysis, and cloud platforms.

Pix with any credit card. Users can make a Pix payment funded by a credit card — from 3.99% — with up to 12 installments, generate QR codes, and register their Pix key directly in the app.
RecargaPay cards with 1.5% cashback on every purchase and no annual fee. The line-up includes the Guaranteed card (limit built from R$10, instant approval, no credit analysis), the Platinum card (up to R$10,000 pre-approved with car insurance and purchase protection; annual fee waived with R$1,000/month spend), and the Black card (up to R$30,000, travel insurance, VIP lounge access, waived with R$5,000/month spend). All cards work internationally.

Wallet balances and the guaranteed card limit automatically earn up to 110% of CDI, with earnings usable at any time. Past performance does not guarantee future returns and all investments carry risk.

Available 24/7, fully digital, accepting negative-score customers; the sample rate is 15% per month (477.76% per year) with a maximum of 18% per month, and terms between 3 and 6 months.
