According to Mayor Miguel Prieto's administration, payment with PIX is now available at the city hall's central cash desks and in several departments.
The list released by the government includes the Collection, Traffic and Security departments, as well as the cash register of the Public Transport sector (Omnibus Terminal).
Furthermore, the collection centers at Casa da Cultura (km 7), Interurban Terminal (km 9) and Mercado de Abasto are also equipped with the method.
Payment with PIX benefits not only Brazilians who live in Paraguay and are already used to the system, but also Paraguayan companies and citizens.
In the border region, the payment method created by the Central Bank of Brazil is becoming increasingly popular. As a result, banks and financial institutions in Paraguay and Argentina have started to offer PIX (or similar options) to their customers.
According to the city of Ciudad del Este, the adoption of PIX seeks to “simplify and speed up the fulfillment of tax obligations by taxpayers”.
The City Hall cash desks are open from 7am to 15pm from Monday to Friday. The Municipal Traffic Police (PMT) is open from 7am to 18pm, Monday to Friday, and from 7am to 17pm on Saturdays.
