The Central Bank of Brazil has reported that PIX, the country's instant payment system, processed a record-breaking 227.4 million transactions on Friday. This represents a significant increase from the previous record of 219.8 million transactions set in December 2022. The surge in PIX usage is attributed to the growing popularity of digital payments and the convenience of the system, which allows users to make instant transfers between bank accounts using only a mobile phone number or QR code. PIX has quickly become a preferred payment method for both individuals and businesses in Brazil, and its continued growth is expected to drive further innovation and efficiency in the country's financial sector.
