Target Audience
The focus of Track 1 of “Desenrola Brasil” is lower-income individuals, who often face financial obstacles to paying off their debts. Those who earn up to two minimum wages or are registered with CadÚnico as part of social and redistribution programs may benefit. It is worth noting that the debts must date from January 2019 to December 2022 and amount to no more than R$ 5,000.
Types of Debts Covered
Desenrola Brasil covers both bank and non-bank debts. Thus, renegotiations involving records with Serasa, SPC, and other credit agencies, as well as consumer debts such as water, electricity, and telephone bills, and outstanding balances with retailers are included. However, public debts, such as taxes and Fies, are not eligible for Desenrola.
Registration on the Gov.br Platform
To join Desenrola Brasil, it is essential to register on the Gov.br platform. Registration, completed on the website www.gov.br, is straightforward. After the Federal Revenue Service or INSS validates the completion of a questionnaire, they establish your account.
There are three account levels: bronze, silver, and gold. To reach the silver level, facial biometrics with a driver's license, being a federal employee, or logging in through a bank is required. The gold level requires facial recognition through the app, authentication via TSE, or an ICP-Brasil digital certificate.
Payment Terms and Methods in Desenrola
Desenrola Brasil can divide restructured debts into up to 60 installments, with the lowest fixed installment set at R$ 50. Interest rates may reach 1.99% per month. Banks may finance the payments.
If you choose financing, banks may debit the payments directly, issue bank slips, or use Pix to process the payments. In the case of a single payment, the platform transfers it directly to the creditor.
Simulation and Request to the Bank
Before financing, the platform allows you to simulate the terms. After the simulation, the user may proceed with the financing request.
The chosen bank will receive the request, detailing the terms and debts involved. The institution will analyze it and inform you of the approval or rejection through the platform.
