There's Pix contactless payment. Both Samsung and Google wallet support. Samsung added a few weeks ago. Google added 1 or 2 years ago.

You can actually pay QR Code Pix now with Samsung by just opening the camera too.

Apple refuses to implement Pix on Apple Pay, and regulatory agencies are trying to change that...

Pix integration with Google Pay it's just amazing.

Imagine the situation in the US as if every app or website magically used Google Pay.

Well, that's Brazil now if you use Android. Because as soon as you copy a Pix code, it will prompt Google Pay :) And every service in Brazil have Pix... Even international ones as Stripe supports...

USD is a hard currency unlike the BRL. It is not supposed to move that fast by design. Google “Regulation E”. Brazil has no such strong provisions for protecting unauthorized transfers out of your account

Your comment is absolute nonsense.

How much does this matter in the context of paying in BRL, to a BRL merchant, in Brazil?

What's with people complaining that they can't terminate transfers out of their accounts?
