Central Bank of Brazil reports R$ 5.79 billion in forgotten funds
The Central Bank of Brazil reported that R$ 5.79 billion in forgotten funds remain available for retrieval in financial institutions as of August 2026. This amount represents a 2.6% increase from the previous month's R$ 5.65 billion.
The total sum is divided between 23.94 million individuals, totaling R$ 4.31 billion, and 2.36 million companies, totaling R$ 1.48 billion. Most beneficiaries are entitled to small amounts, with 69.4% of claimants eligible for up to R$ 10.
Funds are distributed across various sectors, with banks holding the largest share at R$ 2.46 billion (42.4%), followed by consortium administrators (R$ 1.97 billion) and credit cooperatives (R$ 805.6 million). These resources typically stem from closed accounts, improperly charged fees, or unused consortium credits.
Citizens can consult and request these funds for free through the official Sistema Valores a Receber (SVR) website using their CPF or CNPJ. To complete the withdrawal, users must have a Gov.br account with silver or gold security levels. When available, payments can be made via Pix within 12 business days.
