We also have the same problem: technically, PIX is only inside our borders. The thing is our borders are huge!

In practice, people have started to accept it in Portugal, Argentina, Uruguai and some other places where people tend to have accounts both in their countries of residence and Brazil.

Russia is bigger and has its own system of instant payments SBP, which has now completely substituted Visa, Mastercard etc and has some presence in 8-9 other countries (depending on whether you count Abkhazia as a country or not) with 50 foreign banks supporting it.

Russia is bigger in area but not in population.

Some places in France also accept Pix!

Also, Verifone PoS in the US will also accept Pix as well.
