Efí · FinOps Profile

Efi Bank Finops

FinOps view of Efí (formerly Gerencianet) spend. Unlike a SaaS API where you pay per API call or per seat, Efí is a payment institution: its APIs are free to call, and cost is incurred PER SETTLED TRANSACTION. The dominant cost drivers are (1) Pix received via API, billed as a percentage of the transaction (~1.19% advertised standard), (2) boletos and carnê parcels, billed a fixed confirmation fee only when paid (~R$3.45 advertised), and (3) Pix Automático settlements (~R$3.50 advertised). Generating charges, opening the account, and holding credentials cost nothing. All amounts are in BRL and are unreconciled - these are per-transaction payment tariffs, not cloud/API metering, and they vary by negotiated volume.

Efi Bank Finops is the FinOps profile for Efí on the APIs.io network, aligned with the FinOps Foundation Framework.

It defines 4 billable meters, billed in BRL, on a per transaction cycle, and pricing category usage-based.
