The Central Bank opens, this Saturday (12), the first recap of the Values Receivable System for Brazilians born before 1968 who missed the scheduled date to recover money forgotten in banks or other financial institutions. The system shows that the transfer request can be made from 4 am this Saturday until midnight on Sunday (13), according to a query made by the report to two cases that lost the initial date.
In all, 28 million CPFs and CNPJs have some value to recover. The first phase of releases brings together around R$ 4 billion.
From Monday (14) to Friday (18), Brazilians born between 1968 and 1983 will be able to find out how much they have to receive in the system and request transfers. This group will have the repechage on the following Saturday (19), in case it misses the date previously scheduled by the Central Bank.
The calendar advances according to the date of birth or opening of the company. Those born after 1983 will have the money released between March 21 and 25, with a recap on March 26.
Redemption is made on the day and at the time set by the Central Bank when consulting the Receivables System. It is important to pay attention to the time to make the transfer request provided in the first appointment, which can be from 4 am to 2 pm and from 2 pm to midnight.
Anyone who misses the schedule and repechage will be able to consult or request the values from March 28. According to the Central Bank, the citizen will receive a new schedule and will not lose the right to the Receivables, which are kept in financial institutions until they are redeemed.
CHECK OUT THE FIRST PHASE RELEASE CALENDAR
On the dates below, those who have money to receive will know how much they can withdraw
Date of birth or creation of the company | Period to request the transfer | Repechage date (for those who miss the scheduled date) |
---|---|---|
before 1968 | 7 to 11/3 | 12/mar |
Between 1968 and 1983 | 14 to 18/3 | 19/mar |
after 1983 | 3/21 to 3/25 | 26/mar |
Here are the five steps to transfer the values:
Step 1 – Access the website valorareceber.bcb.gov.br
- Access to the website must be made on the date and time previously informed in the consultation with the Central Bank
Step 2 – Log in with your gov.br account
Step 3 – Read the disclaimer
- To have access to the money, you must read the disclaimer and accept it.
Step 4 – It’s time to know the values and make the transfer
The Central Bank system will show:
- the amounts receivable;
- the institutions that must return the money;
- the type of money forgotten (reason for return)
- additional information, when applicable
Step 5 – Click on one of the options that the system indicates:
- “Request Here” – means that the institution offers a refund via Pix within 12 working days
- Select one of the Pix keys and enter your personal data
- To request the transfer of the other values through Pix, repeat the procedure for choosing the Pix key
- Keep the protocol number in case you need to contact the institution
- “Request via institution” – means that the institution does not offer a return by Pix within 12 working days
- In this case, contact the telephone or email provided to arrange with the bank how to return the amount
- On the Amounts Receivable information screen, the citizen must consult the institution’s service channels by clicking on its name
Payment will have other phases
The amounts released in this first phase refer to money from checking or savings accounts that were closed with the balance still available; unduly charged fees and installments whose return was already provided for in a term of commitment signed with the BC; money from closed consortia; and quotas and surpluses of those who participated in credit unions.
There will then be a second batch of releases, whose consultations will begin on May 2nd. Anyone who does not remember the date of redemption of the values in this first phase should make a new check in the system of values receivable (click here to find out how).
The second phase of releasing the values will have money forgotten for other reasons, according to the Central Bank. Among them are fees, installments or obligations in credit operations whose return was not provided for in a term signed with the BC and prepaid or postpaid payment accounts closed with available balance.
There will also be payments in cases of accounts held at brokerages and securities dealers to register clients’ financial assets. In many cases, there are duplicate fee charges, which will also be refunded.
Penny redemption generates frustration
The announcement that there was BRL 8 billion to be redeemed generated such great demand that the Banco Centrou system went offline in January, due to the number of simultaneous accesses.
But people can only check how much they have to receive on the date and time scheduled by the BC – or on the day of the recap.
As of last Monday (7), when consultations began, many people discovered that they could only recover a few cents. The derisory value frustrated the plans of those who were waiting for a hefty forgotten in old accounts.
In Manaus, the family of a 93-year-old woman donated R$1,000 to deliver to her. The retired teacher hoped to redeem a large amount, but had only R$0.04 in the Central Bank system.
