Amounts receivable from the Central Bank: citizen can have money in two lots

Brazilians who have forgotten money in banks and other financial institutions may receive amounts in more than one release stage, according to information from the Central Bank. Those who have already consulted the Values ​​Receivable System and know that they will be covered in the first phase can also receive in the other releases.

The total to be returned is estimated at R$ 8 billion. In the first phase, whose consultation is already open, approximately R$ 4 billion will be released to 28 million beneficiaries, of which 26 million are individuals and 2 million are legal entities. In the next phases, the system will pay R$ 4 billion. Heirs are also entitled to receive the amounts.

The first batch of payments will be released from March 7th. Those who make the inquiry receive the date and time when they must return to the values ​​website to request the transfer. Money will be deposited via Pix, TED (Electronic Transfer Available) or DOC (Document of Credit) within 12 business days.

What will be returned in the first phase of payments

• Money from checking or savings accounts that have been closed with the balance still available
• Fees and installments improperly charged whose return was already provided for in a term of commitment signed with the BC
• Money from closed consortia
• Quotas and surpluses of those who participated in credit unions

In the case of credit for cooperatives, an example of who can receive it is the former member who leaves the cooperative before the distribution of the annual positive result or who does not seek reimbursement of paid-in capital after leaving the cooperative. In consortia, the money will go to the consortium member of a closed group that did not use the respective credits.

As of May 2, the Central Bank will open the new consultation for another R$ 4 billion, which refer to values ​​left in banks for other situations. Thus, even those who have already redeemed in the first batch may have more money left behind in some financial institution.

What will be returned in the second phase of payments

• Amounts referring to balances of closed accounts
• Fees, installments or payments in credit operations not provided for in a term signed with the BC, which includes money unduly deducted from the payroll loan of INSS retirees
• Money left in failed institutions
• Amounts left in prepaid or postpaid accounts that were closed with available balance
• Payments in cases of accounts held at brokerages and securities dealers to register clients’ financial assets; and in cases of double tariff collections
