Investing on Picnic: your balance earning, under your control

The investments area of the Picnic app brings together the savings boxes (Caixinhas), which earn automatically in reais, dollars or euros, and buying and selling crypto. You follow everything in the same account and decide when to put money in and when to redeem.

Savings boxes: your balance earns automatically

A savings box (Caixinha) is a place to leave part of your balance earning, in the currency you choose.

  • Dollar box. For people who hold digital dollars and want them to earn while unused.
  • Real box. Earnings on your balance in Brazilian reais, for money you plan to use in Brazil.
  • Euro box. Earnings on your balance in euros, for people who get paid or spend in Europe.

How the earnings work

  • It is automatic. Once you put money in, the box balance earns with nothing else for you to do.
  • The rate is variable. Earnings are not fixed or guaranteed. The app shows each box's current rate before you put money in.
  • You redeem whenever you want. You can ask to redeem at any time, and the amount is back in your account within minutes.

Crypto in the same app

Besides the savings boxes, the investments area lets you buy, sell and hold crypto, with the assets under your control.
