This is true but the next step is a Brazilian bank account.

OK so it's firmly in the "not reasonable" territory for tourists. Just pay cash or credit card. Tourists aren't going to wait a while for a Brazilian tax id then use a Brazilian bank account before their trip. Just to select Pix as your payment method instead of card you already have in the Uber app.

This isnt a take down of Pix. Sounds excellent and should be replicated in other countries. Lets just not pretend its a viable solution for tourists.

There seems to be a new solution for tourists in Brazil to use Pix but with their digital wallet: https://www.infomoney.com.br/minhas-financas/pix-para-gringo...
Is there an online bank that allows to create an account just with the CPF and no proof of permanent residence?
I googled a bit, seems that maybe Bradesco bank allows it but it's a lot of paperwork and you need to be physically present at the bank branch.
