Recently, the Central Bank of Brazil (BC) announced that approximately R$7.3 billion remains available in the System of Receivables (SVR) for withdrawal from inactive accounts. This “abandoned” amount also includes the assets of people who have already passed away, according to the Estadão portal.
Those who wish to request and, consequently, receive such amounts must be heirs, testamentary beneficiaries, executors, or legal representatives of the deceased. The procedure for requesting and consulting these amounts is carried out exclusively through the official website of the Central Bank. See more details below.

- Enter the official website;
- Select “Check amounts receivable”;
- Enter the required data such as CPF and date of birth of the deceased person;
- Confirm security and finally select “Consult”.
Finally, if the query shows values for redemption, proceeding with the subsequent steps of the redemption request is the recommended course of action.
Instructions for applying
Therefore, the request for funds also begins on the Central Bank website. Users need to select “Access the System for Receivables”, and if there is no waiting list, they will be redirected to the login page.
However, it is necessary to log in with the gov.br account of the heir or executor (Silver and Gold level), and not with the account of the deceased individual.

In this context, after logging in, the user must select the “Values for Deceased Persons” option within the system. They must enter the deceased’s CPF and date of birth, read and agree to the Terms of Responsibility for consulting third-party data, to validate the authorization of the consultation.
By following these procedures, the user will be able to see on the screen the amount to be received, the name and contact information of the financial institution responsible for returning the amount and its origin. The Central Bank also makes a crucial observation, clarifying that it does not send links or make contact to discuss the amounts to be received.
