Pix reached a new daily record for transactions on Friday the 7th, with 206.8 million transactions in a single day, according to the Central Bank (BC). On the fifth business day of the month, a period when salary payments are typically concentrated, the total value transacted reached R$ 90.9 billion, also the highest ever recorded in a single day. The previous record was on April 5th, with 201.6 million transactions.
On Thursday, for the first time, more than 400 million Pix transactions were completed within a 48-hour period. “These numbers further demonstrate the importance of Pix as public digital infrastructure, promoting financial inclusion, innovation, and competition in the provision of payment services in Brazil,” the Central Bank highlighted in a statement.
Since its launch in November 2020, the payment system has continued to grow. Each month, Pix processes around 5 billion transactions, moving approximately R$ 2 trillion. About 155 million people and 16 million companies have used Pix to send or receive payments at least once.
