Central Bank: Forgotten money can be withdrawn at any time

The Central Bank informed that, as of May 2, the System of Values ​​Receivable will be open to all Brazilians for consultations and withdrawals of money forgotten in banks and financial institutions, without the need for scheduling.

For the time being, access to the system is released according to the citizen’s date of birth (or the company’s opening), in an official calendar of consultations and withdrawals of amounts. This schedule runs until April 16th and is valid for everyone who has not yet redeemed the money.

In the first calendar, which was from March 7th to 26th, the schedule also provided for a specific time on the day to make the withdrawal. Now, the withdrawal can be made at any time within the day that corresponds to the date of birth.

According to the Central Bank’s balance sheet, until last Saturday (26), 3.1 million individuals and companies requested the redemption of amounts receivable, totaling R$ 262.9 million released.

On Saturdays in April, the 2nd, 9th and 16th, the citizen will be able to do the recap, if he has not withdrawn the amounts on the scheduled date for his year or year of opening of his company.

According to the BC, after the conclusion of this new cycle of appointments, between April 17 and May 1, there will be a new reformulation of the system.

From May 2, the system will be back online and it is possible that those who had already redeemed the money will have access to values ​​forgotten in banks for other reasons. “Even those who have already redeemed their resources and those who did not have amounts receivable in the first stage must consult the system again, as the data will be updated and there may be a new resource”, informs the bank.

Among the changes that will come into effect in May are the end of the money transfer schedule. “Citizens can ask for the redemption of resources at the time of the first consultation”, says the BC.

What will be released in the second phase:

• Amounts from closed current or savings accounts, with available balance
• Fees and installments or obligations related to credit operations improperly charged, provided that the return is provided for in a term of commitment signed by the bank with the BC
• Shares of capital and apportionment of net surpluses of beneficiaries and participants of credit unions
• Unsought appeals relating to terminated consortium groups.
