Pix by the Numbers
Q1 2026
Pix reached a new milestone in March 2026 with 7.4 billion transactions in a single month, while monthly volume climbed to approximately $705 billion USD.

For the first time, P2B transactions have clearly surpassed P2P, driven by widespread QR code adoption, which now initiates over half of all Pix payments. Meanwhile, B2B transactions command 52% of the total value, highlighting Pix’s evolution into a high-value commercial payment network.
