Special Refund Mechanism

The SRM (Special Refund Mechanism) that was created by the Central Bank that allows paying and receiving banks to partially or fully return the value of a payment already made.

MED makes refunds in scenarios of fraud or operational failure. As it is carried out between Pix participants, it makes it easier for the victim of fraud or process failure to recover the amounts more quickly, within 80 days from receipt of the transaction.

Refunds initiated by the user cannot used the SRM, and must follow the Refund Flow .
