The claim, plainly

Brex has crossed over $100 billion in total payment volume.

a quote alone can be ambiguous, so this restates it with the references and context of the conversation around it resolved. AI-written; the tape below the player is the source.

Assessment

The claim made on the July 10, 2025 Sourcery podcast that Brex crossed over $100 billion in total payment volume cannot be verified through independent public disclosures. The only mentions of this figure trace directly to the podcast episode featuring then-Chief Business Officer Art Levy and a related profile in Fintech Leaders. Official Brex announcements through September 2026 make no reference to surpassing $100 billion in cumulative or annualized TPV, while independent estimates (Sacra, Nilson Report) cite Brex's annual commercial card volume at approximately $20 billion leading up to its acquisition by Capital One in April 2026. Because the available documentation rests solely on the interview itself without independent corporate or regulatory confirmation, the evidence does not yet exist to resolve the claim.

Brex has not issued an official press release, corporate filing, or audited disclosure confirming $100 billion in cumulative or run-rate total payment volume as of September 2026.
Independent reporting from Sacra and the Nilson Report estimated Brex's annualized purchase volume at approximately $20 billion between 2023 and 2026.
The $100 billion milestone appears only in the July 2025 podcast context and subsequent coverage of then-CBO Art Levy, offering no independent corroboration.
