PART 1: The Power of Pix: How Brazil Built a Revolutionary Real-Time Payment System

Brazil has one of the most successful real-time payment systems in the world. This week on the podcast, we share a fireside chat with the man who leads the design and implementation of the real-time payment system Pix. Carlos Eduardo Brandt is the Senior Advisor at the Central Bank of Brazil. Quona Co-founder Jonathan Whittle took the stage with Carlos at Quona’s recent annual meeting to discuss how the Central Bank of Brazil implemented this real-time payment system to the tune of 5 billion transactions per month. Today Pix reaches more than 90 percent of the adult population and settles more transactions than any other financial instrument including debit, credit, or prepaid cards.
