Pix, the Central Bank’s (BC) instant transfer system, broke a new record yesterday (20). For the first time, the modality surpassed the mark of 100 million transactions in 24 hours.
Yesterday alone, 104.1 million transfers were made via Pix to end users. The volume coincided with the deadline for payment of the second installment of the Christmas bonus.
High demand did not compromise Pix’s functioning. According to BC, the systems worked with stability throughout the day.
The previous record had been registered on November 30, with 99.4 million transactions in just one day. On that date, the period for payment of the first installment of the Christmas bonus had ended.
Created in November 2020, Pix accumulates 143.3 million users, of which 131.6 million are individuals and 11.7 million are legal entities. In September of this year, the system surpassed the mark of R$ 1 trillion moved per month.
