More than 10 million people and companies with “forgotten money” in banks or financial institutions have not yet consulted the System Values to Receive (SVR) platform to redeem the amount.
The Central Bank (BC) estimates that about 28 million users (26 million CPFs and almost 2 million CNPJs) keep forgotten amounts in old accounts, ready to be withdrawn.
According to data released at 6 pm on Wednesday (16) by the BC, 17,531,498 individuals and 241,521 legal entities that have a balance have already consulted the system and will be able to request the redemption of the money so far.
The entity reported that there are about R$ 8 billion stopped in banks and financial institutions across the country.
So far, 86,997,576 people and companies have consulted the website of the System Values Receivable platform.
Among the total, 69,224,557 were informed that they do not have any value at stake that could be withdrawn.
These people can resume the consultation as of May 2, when the BC will introduce new phases of the SVR.
In the case of the 17,531,498 who consulted the platform and received a positive signal, they must access the site again in March, when they will be able to see the “forgotten” amount and request the transfer of the amount.
Return dates were defined based on the person’s date of birth or, in the case of companies, the date of their creation. Check the calendar below:
What is SVR?
It is a platform that allows Brazilians to consult “forgotten” amounts in banks or financial institutions and redeem the amount on the dates stipulated by the Central Bank (BC).
According to Carlos Eduardo Gomes, head of the Institutional Department of the BC, the objective of the Values Receivable System (SVR) is to be a communication channel that facilitates the meeting of the financial system with customers.
“There are financial institutions that cannot find the customer, either because he has changed his phone number, address or city. So we intend to benefit this meeting and the person who has a value to receive,” he said.
The queries can be made at the address valorareceber.bcb.gov.br, where it is possible to consult the resources that were stopped.
What is considered “forgotten money”?
According to BC, the query system looks for values that meet the following conditions:
- Closed checking or savings accounts with available balance
- Fees improperly charged, provided they are provided for in Terms of Commitment signed by the bank with the BC
- Installments or obligations related to credit operations improperly charged, provided they are provided for in Terms of Commitment signed by the bank with the BC
- Shares of capital and apportionment of net surpluses of beneficiaries of credit unions
- Unwanted Resources of Terminated Consortium Groups
