Brazil Aid Loan – Everything you need to know
According to Federal government, the purpose of approving the payroll loan for Auxílio Brasil beneficiaries is to allow these Brazilians who are without access to credit (many of them indebted) can reorganize their finances and seek autonomy.
What is the payroll loan modality?
Before opting for this loan, it is important that you know what it is about. Basically, it is a type of assigned credit in which installments are discounted directly from the paycheck or benefit of the person who hired it. In this case, discounts will be made directly on the Brazil Aid installment.
As it is a direct discount on remuneration, banks and financial institutions ensure that the installments will be paid. However, this type of loan is dangerous, especially for people in situations of greater vulnerability, due to the possibility of compromising basic needs due to the discount on the benefit.
Maximum amount of installments
The value of the loan installments must be up to 40% of the benefit amount, which is R$ 400. Thus, the beneficiary may acquire a loan whose installments are up to R$ 160 per month, over a maximum period of 2 years. Interest, in turn, will be up to 3.5% per month.
financial education
The Ministry of Citizenship reported that it will offer financial education actions, in addition to offering credit. Thus, when contracting the service, beneficiaries will have to respond to a questionnaire that will serve to measure the knowledge on the subject and the capacity of the citizen to administer the loan.
How to take out the Brazil Aid loan?
