To check, you need to access the Registrato website or the Central Bank of Brazil's website online; and, if there is any amount to be received, there are two ways to redeem it: directly through PIX, if the institution has joined the Registrato system; or through a transfer or payment, with data provided in the system by the person who will receive it.
In Brazil, the Central Bank estimates that individuals and legal entities are owed a total of R$ 8 billion. Initially, almost R$ 4 billion will be returned, for reasons such as: closed checking or savings accounts with available balances, improperly charged fees, capital shares and surplus funds from credit cooperatives, and unclaimed amounts related to completed consortium groups.
For much of Tuesday (25), the site was experiencing access errors. Soon after, the Central Bank published a message on the error page explaining that “the system received higher than expected demand”, which caused “instability” on the site. According to the institution, measures are being taken “to restore normal operation”.
