Almost two years after its launch, the PagTesouro platform is increasingly disseminated in the federal government. Currently, 44 public bodies have joined the system, which allows the payment of public services via Pix and credit card.
Among the services that can be paid electronically are registrations in public tenders and in the National High School Exam (Enem), issuance of passports, registration of patents and health fees and fines.
PagTesouro started working in November 2020, after a year of testing. The first body to join the system was the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa).
Transactions carried out on PagTesouro are registered in the collection systems as a digital Union Collection Guide (GRU). This document was created by the Ministry of Economy to collect revenues from agencies, autarchies, foundations and other federal government entities.
The platform allows both the taxpayer and the collecting agency to view the payment a few seconds after its completion. All financial institutions that operate Pix accept payments from PagTesouro.
How to use
To make payments through PagTesouro, the service must be available on the public agency’s website. As soon as the citizen requests a service, the platform logo will appear on the page. Just click on it and choose the payment method you want: Pix or credit card.
If you want to pay using Pix, you must open the payment institution’s application and point your cell phone camera at the QR code that will appear on the screen. It is also possible to copy the code that appears on the public agency’s website and paste it into the application. After following the instructions and completing the payment, the proof will automatically appear on the screen.
Those paying by credit card must choose the corresponding option and choose one of the Payment Service Providers (PSP) presented. In this modality, an additional fee may be charged, which will be described in detail, and then proceed with payment confirmation.
When paying by credit card, the taxpayer can also pay the debt in installments. The public agency, however, will receive the amount in cash. The installment follows the logic of traditional commerce.
