Money forgotten in the financial system exceeds R$6 billion

Brazilians have not yet withdrawn R$6.03 billion in resources forgotten in financial institutions, the Central Bank reported today. The amount available for redemption increased compared to the previous withdrawal, when there was around R$5.8 billion waiting to be returned.

According to the most recent statistics from the Receivable Values ​​System (SVR), 24.61 million individuals and 2.23 million legal entities have some money to receive.

Since the creation of the service, at the beginning of 2022, the Central Bank has already returned R$16.75 billion to 44.91 million beneficiaries.

Despite continuous redemptions, the stock of available resources can grow from one month to the next. This occurs because banks, cooperatives, consortium administrators and other financial institutions continue to identify and report new values ​​to the system.

When the inflow of resources exceeds the volume withdrawn by beneficiaries, the total balance increases.
