iFood Benefícios, iFood's food and meal voucher service, has consolidated a trajectory of strong expansion in the Brazilian market, registering an impressive growth of 71% year-on-year. Currently, the platform has 1.3 million monthly active users and serves a portfolio of 65,000 client companies throughout the country. This accelerated pace was driven especially by recent performance: in March alone, 150,000 new lives were added to the base, while the volume of new contracts closed has increased by 17% since November 2025.
As a direct reflection of this progress and constant investments in proprietary technology, the platform reached the historic milestone of approximately R$ 1 billion in payments processed per month in April 2026. Operational efficiency has also been a strategic differentiator, given that about 40% of monthly recharges are already fully processed by Artificial Intelligence. This automation has brought more agility to the processes and directly contributed to an 82% increase in contracts over the past year.
“This performance reflects a shift in the profile of companies, which are increasingly prioritizing more agile, digital, and efficient solutions for benefits management. The growth also reinforces a modernization trend in the sector. For 2026, the expectation is to maintain this accelerated pace, consolidating iFood Benefícios as one of the leading platforms in the sector in the country, with a continuous focus on technology, experience, and efficiency,” highlights Arthur Freitas, CEO of iFood Benefícios.
