Forgotten Values in Numbers: The Central Bank has already returned R$ 5.3 billion, benefiting more than 16 million individuals and almost 812,000 companies. Most of the forgotten funds come from banks and consortia. By October, the population had already recovered R$ 5.312 billion, with the distribution by value range showing that more than half of the beneficiaries have up to R$ 10 to redeem. With around 40.6 million individuals and 3 million legal entities forgetting amounts in banks or financial institutions, it is crucial to understand how to redeem these amounts.

• Up to R$ 10: 62.98%
• From R$ 10.01 to R$ 100: 25.71%
• From R$ 100.01 to R$ 1,000: 9.64%
• Above R$ 1,000.01: 1.68%

How to Recover Forgotten Money: To redeem your forgotten money, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Access the website valoresareceber.bcb.gov.br on the date and during the withdrawal period informed in the first consultation. If you've forgotten the date, you can return to the system in the replay.

Step 2: Log in with your gov.br account (silver or gold level). Redemption is authorised for those with accounts above the bronze level. If you don't yet have a bronze account, register or increase your security level on the gov.br website or app.

Step 3: Read and accept the disclaimer.

Step 4: Check the amount receivable, the institution responsible and the source of the amount. The system will provide additional information if necessary.

Step 5: Choose the option indicated by the system: "Request via here" for return via Pix within 12 working days or "Request via institution" for users without Pix, who will need to contact the institution to arrange the method of collection.

Consultation of Receivables: You can check if you have amounts to receive on the Central Bank's website. Go to the official website, enter your CPF and date of birth and click on "consult".

Where does the money come from? The receivables system covers a variety of sources, including closed accounts with an available balance, unduly charged fees, obligations from credit operations, net surpluses from credit unions, unsought funds from closed consortia and pre-paid and post-paid payment accounts.

Beware of scams: It's crucial to be aware of possible scams involving the name of the Central Bank system. Avoid clicking on suspicious links sent by email, SMS, WhatsApp or Telegram and always be aware of the security of your information.

Conclusion: With R$ 7.5 billion still waiting to be redeemed, it's time for Brazilians to check if they have forgotten valuables. Follow the steps above to make sure you're not one of the millions who have left money behind. This is the time to get back what's yours and avoid potential pitfalls. Get your money back now!
