"With generative artificial intelligence, we are taking another step toward transforming the relationship customers have with their financial lives by bringing the PicPay experience into the digital environments where users already are. This creates interactions that are simpler, more natural, and more contextual."</p>  <p align="left">The plugin uses an <em>OAuth</em> authentication, redirecting users to the PicPay app to confirm their identity and authorize access to specific data, including balances and transaction history. All data exchanges follow PicPay’s security standards and comply with Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (LGPD). The connection can be disabled at any time by uninstalling the PicPay app from ChatGPT.</p>  <p align="left">At this stage, the experience is focused on financial inquiries and monitoring, with no transactional capabilities. Eligible customers seeking to connect an account to ChatGPT simply need to search for PicPay in the "Plugins" tab and follow the connection steps.</p>  <p align="left"><strong>Advertising Capabilities with ChatGPT</strong><br></br>Beyond the financial experience, PicPay is also one of the first Brazilian brands advertising on ChatGPT, in an initiative that combines communication, service, and experience within the same digital environment. The campaign was developed with BETC Havas, which is participating in the ChatGPT ads pilot program in Brazil.</p>  <p align="left">The campaign aims to present relevant information while people explore possibilities, compare alternatives, and make decisions within ChatGPT. Ads are clearly identified as sponsored content, appear separately from responses, and do not influence ChatGPT’s answers.</p>  <p align="left"><strong>Generative AI and the Future of Financial Interaction</strong><br></br>The transformation driven by Pix helped bring millions of Brazilians into the digital financial system. Now, artificial intelligence is ushering in a new phase.</p>  <p align="left">More than simply enabling digital transactions, AI now has the potential to help people better understand their financial lives and make more confident day-to-day decisions — from comparing offers and identifying better returns to understanding credit conditions, negotiating services, and avoiding unnecessary costs.</p>  <p align="left">"Over the past few years, the financial market has made significant progress in inclusion and access," continued Chedid. "We believe artificial intelligence will play a key role in making financial life easier to understand for millions of Brazilians, especially for those who have only recently joined the financial system or for young people who are just beginning to manage money."</p>  <p align="left">PicPay’s collaboration with ChatGPT accelerates the evolution of digital banking, as consumers seek a more conversational, intuitive, and contextual interface, while reducing barriers and simplifying complex financial interactions.</p>  <p align="left"><strong>About PicPay</strong><br></br>PicPay (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PICS">PICS</a>) is one of Brazil’s leading digital banks and began trading on the Nasdaq in January 2026.
