Step-by-step consultation
Now that you understand the importance of checking for forgotten money, let's show you how to do it.
The process is quick and easy on the Central Bank of Brazil's website. This step-by-step guide has been created to help you access and recover forgotten valuables efficiently, avoiding complications during the process.
Visit the Central Bank's official website
Start by visiting the official website of the Central Bank of Brazil. On the homepage, look for the section dedicated to "Forgotten Money" or "Receivables". To make things easier, you can search for "forgotten money Central Bank" in your favorite search engine.
Request the transfer of values
If amounts are found, you can request a transfer directly to an active bank account. Make sure the account is in your name and working properly. The system will provide clear instructions for completing the transfer safely.
Log in to the gov.br platform
After accessing the consultation page, you will be asked to log in to the gov.br platform, which centralizes access to various public services online. If you don't already have an account, you'll need to create one quickly, using your CPF and personal details.
Check the available prices
Once you have logged in, you will be directed to the page for consulting forgotten amounts. Enter your CPF or CNPJ (if you are a company). The system will search financial institutions' databases to see if there are any amounts receivable in your name.
Check the financial institutions
If the system identifies forgotten valuables, it will show you a list of the financial institutions where they are being held. You will be able to see details such as the origin of the money and the amount available, which will help you better understand where it came from and make informed decisions.
