What this article covers:
Is it possible the same pix key in different banks?
Before answering this question, it is necessary to understand what the pix key is. When you decide to enable the pix on your account, you need to create a key, which can be your CPF, email, cell phone number or a random code that is generated by the bank itself. This key happens to be the only necessary information you need to pass in order to receive the money in your account.

Therefore, by associating one of these pieces of information to an account, it cannot be used for another, for example: using your CPF as a pix key for bank X, your CPF can no longer be used as a pix key for bank Y.
The release of other information to create a key is precisely so that you don’t have to repeat the information, already registered in one bank, to generate a pix key in the other, so it is not possible to register the same pix key in different banks.
Can I have two or more different pix keys?
It is possible to have more than one different pix key, even two for the same account. There is no problem with that.
You can put your CPF as a key, and also register your email as a second key for the same account, the only limitation really is registering the same pix key in different banks, so much so that if you try to register a key in bank x that is already linked to a bank y, bank x will request the transfer, so that only it will be the bearer of the key in question.
What is the limit of pix keys?
This is a very recurring question when we talk about pix keys. As understood, the user can register multiple random keys as their pix key, but there is a limit, there are 5 keys per account for an individual and up to 20 keys for a legal entity.
