Rule · BCB · 5 Jul 1990 · Circular 1769
The Central Bank of Brazil prohibits financial institutions from conditioning the monthly supply of a checkbook containing at least 20 sheets on the existence of an average balance in a deposit account. This measure applies to multiple banks, commercial banks, and savings banks, ensuring that such supplies are provided without charging remuneration as previously established. The regulation revokes Circular No. 1,754 of June 7, 1990, and enters into force upon publication.
