The European Central Bank and Brazilian authorities are launching a joint study exploring how to connect the eurozone's TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) system with Brazil's popular Pix instant payment network. The work would explore cross-border interoperability between the two real-time payment systems.
