For organisations
Citizens know the message really comes from the public body.
Bipe's data and servers stay in Brazil, under Brazilian law. City halls, departments and agencies talk to citizens under a name verified by CNPJ, and the body's name is reserved for its own account. Bipe for organisations is still a proposal, and the pilot is free.
Each feature shows where it stands. Open a feature to see its status on iPhone and Android.
The body's name stays with the body
Names like INSS and Correios are reserved for the account with the body's verified CNPJ. Someone who tries the same name with one letter swapped, like c0rreios, is blocked too. So a fake official can't use the body's name to ask for data or money.
Simulation with sample people and messages.
Reserved names
Bank, government and Bipe names are kept for the institution's verified account.
Disguised letters
The name check treats some lookalikes, such as O and 0, as the same letter. It does not cover every similar name.
Business seal
A company, school or association proves its CNPJ and gets a seal with the name on the federal register.
In development: Reserved names, Disguised letters, Business seal
An official notice that looks official
A notice from an account with an institution badge looks different from a normal chat and only opens links to the body's own site. This notice is in development. The public body check, which confirms that a CNPJ belongs to the public administration, is still a plan.
Scam warnings
If checks find signals such as a rushed Pix or a new number, a warning appears under the message.
Message requests
People who aren't in your contacts arrive as a request. You accept it or ignore it.
Bots always marked
Every automated account is a bot. A bot always shows its mark and the name of its owner.

Data in Brazil, code you can check
The servers are in Brazil, at Brazilian hosting companies. The code is open, so the body's technical team can check what the app and the server do. Chats are end-to-end encrypted, and Bipe can't read them.
Servers in Brazil
Chats live on servers in Brazil, run by Brazilian companies.
Open source
The code is public, so anyone can check it.
End to end
Every new chat, one to one or in a group, is encrypted end to end.
In the test app: End to end
A fixed yearly price, no price per message
A public body pays half the Institution plan, on a yearly contract priced by the number of people it serves. No plan charges per message, so the cost doesn't grow with each notice. Amounts come out when the pilot ends.
