The Central Bank will start releasing on Monday (7) the value advice and requests to recover the forgotten funds in the banks. It is estimated that R$8 billion will be returned to residents and businesses, with R$4 billion only in this first phase.
Until then, the BC system, called Values to Receive (https://valoresareceber.bcb.gov.br/), you only mentioned whether or not the person has something to withdraw, but not the amount.
While the system has not yet been released, it is possible to prepare for account access by registering with the Gov.Br . Federal Government System (Click here to learn how to do it).
When the date is up, just follow the steps step by step. Check it out below:
Deadlines for withdrawing forgotten money in banks
In this first phase, BC will release the balance and schedule for those born before 1968 or for companies created before that date. The deadline for this group ends on Friday (11), with a return on Saturday (12).
On March 14th, the role of those born between 1968 and 1983, or companies created in this period, will take place. The return will be the following Saturday (19).
Finally, from March 21-25, the role of those born after 1983, or companies created since then, will take place. The feed will be on March 26th.
In all cases, you will need to have a Silver or Gold level account on Portal Gov.br.
Anyone who misses the summary on Saturday will be able to request a refund starting March 28, regardless of date of birth or company creation date. BC makes it clear that citizens or businesses that miss deadlines don’t have to worry.
