O central bank released this year the “Values Receivable” option, which allows people to be able to redeem amounts held in financial institutions. With this, citizens can query to find out if there is any value that belongs to them, but that has been blocked for some reason. Thus, the amounts referring to the money that remained in closed current accounts have already been released, and in May it will be the turn to release the amounts retained in bankrupt banks.

Queries are made directly through the Central Bank website, so there was a need to temporarily take the website offline due to excessive access. However, now the “Amounts Receivable” tool is already in operation, but it only gives results for specific cases.
For now, only the amounts that remained in the accounts that were closed still have a balance in the systems. In addition, amounts that were held by cooperative institutions will also be available for withdrawal. For this, the person needs to have scheduled the consultation on the website, and the new round of consultations begins on May 2nd. Therefore, from that date onwards, cash withdrawals from bankrupt banks will also be carried out.
How can I consult the “Amounts Receivable”?
The Central Bank emphasizes that all queries must be made through the website valorareceber.bcb.gov.br. This is because there are already reports of attempted frauds that include SMS's and emails with false links to make the appointment. Then, go to the website and fill in the requested data, such as CPF or CNPJ, and receive the exclusive date for your appointment. In this way, you will need to wait until the indicated day to be able to carry out the consultation properly.
In addition, you must use your registration in the Gov.br system to carry out this step, but you can register at the time, if you do not already have one. Finally, the Central Bank will also present you with options for looting, which may include transfer or Pix.
