NOTE

The Credit Information System – SCR is a system whose objective is to collect information on credit operations of clients of financial institutions (sum of credit operations, interbank transfers, co-obligations, limits, and credits to be released). The SCR is managed by the Central Bank and fed monthly by financial institutions, being continuously updated to fulfill the functions provided for in Art. 2 of CMN Resolution No. 5,037, of September 29, 2022, and in accordance with Circular No. 3,870, of 2017.

  1. On October 10, 2025, the Monetary National Council (CMN) and the Central Bank of Brazil, issued CMN Resolution No. 5,255 and BCB Resolution No. 512, amending, respectively, CMN Resolution No. 4,676, of July 31, 2018, and BCB Resolution No. 188, of February 23, 2022. These regulations promoted changes, respectively, in the model for directing savings deposit resources and in the rules governing the compulsory reserve collection on this type of deposit.

  2. Regarding compulsory reserve collection, note that BCB Resolution No. 512, of 2025, allowed that up to 5% of the balances of savings deposits in the free mode, when used for real estate credit operations, may be deducted from the requirement to collect on this type of deposit. This deduction limit will be increased by 1.5 percentage points per year starting from 2027, until reaching a cap of 20% of the calculation base. The operations used for the purpose of this deduction cannot be counted towards compliance with the direction of resources captured in savings deposits as regulated by Resolution No. 4,676, of 2018.

  3. With the proposed change in the SCR, financial institutions must inform which operations will be used for the purpose of deducting the compulsory reserve collection of savings deposits and which will be counted for the purpose of compliance with the direction of this type of deposit. This will allow for the identification of individual operations used for each purpose and contribute to the periodic evaluation of the results resulting from the norms that provide for the direction of savings deposits, expressly provided for in Art. 26-A of Resolution No. 4,676, of 2018, with the wording given by CMN Resolution No. 5,255, of October 10, 2025.

  4. Additionally, CMN Resolution No. 5,255, of 2025, established that amortization systems for operations with a price index update clause may include an additional amortization component intended to minimize variations in the nominal value of installments. With this, the CMN sought to provide more security for the contracting of operations with a price index update clause, ensuring greater predictability to borrowers regarding the values of installments.

  5. With this, it became necessary to include specific fields in the layout of document code 3040, which will allow verifying the degree of use of the additional amortization component by regulated institutions and the evolution of credit operations that use this mechanism over time, allowing for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the measure adopted by the CMN and the need for possible adjustments in the regulation.

  6. For convenience, aiming to improve the monitoring of loan operations between individuals, a marker is being added to inform whether the creditor of these operations is or is not a qualified investor, in accordance with Article 12 of CVM Resolution No. 30, of May 11, 2021.

  7. In addition to the adjustments mentioned in the previous paragraphs, changes were made with the aim of promoting wording adjustments, exclusion of domains no longer used, as well as the inclusion of new registration, settlement, and custody systems authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil, listed below:

I - CIP/NUCLEA;

II - TAG IMF;

III - SPC Grafeno; and

IV - QS – Quick Soft.

  1. Regarding the entry into force of the changes provided for in this IN BCB, after internal discussions and with the market, the following schedule was agreed upon:

I - from November 2026 – changes related to the marking of limits subject to provision;

II - from July 2026 – changes related to real estate credit and qualified investor; and

III - from May 2026 – the other changes.

  1. Decree No. 10,411, of June 30, 2020, regulates the conduct of regulatory impact analysis – AIR as a prerequisite for the issuance of normative acts of general interest to economic agents. However, in its Article 4, the aforementioned decree establishes the hypotheses for exemption from conducting AIR. The present IN BCB falls under the hypotheses provided for in items II - normative act intended to discipline rights or obligations defined in a hierarchically superior norm that does not allow, technically or legally, different regulatory alternatives; V - normative act that aims to preserve liquidity, solvency, or integrity (...) b) of the financial, capital, and foreign exchange markets; and IV - normative act that aims to update or revoke norms considered obsolete, without change of merit

  2. With the issuance of the regulations cited in paragraph 2, there was no alternative but to alter document code 3040 so that it could receive the new information, allowing the Central Bank to perform better control of real estate credit operations, thus justifying the classification of the present IN BCB under item II of Art. 4 of Decree No. 10,411, of 2020. The inclusion of the qualified investor marker aims to improve the monitoring of the financial system, justifying the classification of the present IN BCB under item V, letter “b” of the aforementioned Decree. Finally, the other proposed changes aimed only to promote adjustments in the layout and filling instructions, without major impacts on document code 3040, which also justifies its classification under item IV of Art. 4 of the aforementioned Decree.

  3. Thus, based on the provisions of paragraphs 10 and 11, I understand that the issuance of the present Normative Instruction is exempt from conducting regulatory impact analysis.
