One of the pillars of Pix, aimed at expediting payment processes, DICT is a database that stores the keys that will identify the transactional accounts of receiving users, thus simplifying the entire process. By analogy, a DICT key is something like a nickname for a specific checking account of a bank customer.

There are four types of keys:

• Cell Phone;
• Email address;
• Document (CPF or CNPJ);
• Random key.

General Rules about keys:

• There is no limit on DICT keys per customer. A customer can have active accounts in N institutions, and can have keys registered in all of them, but complying with the following conditions:
  • If you are an individual, have a maximum of 5 (five) different keys for the same account;
  • If you are a legal person, have a maximum of 20 (twenty) different keys for the same account;
• A single key will not be used for two different accounts at the same time;
• There are procedures for claiming ownership and requesting portability. In this sense, a key can be, at any time and according to the account holder's wishes, unlinked from one account and linked to another. See specific topic on portability and ownership in Claiming Portability and Ownership.
