“Art. 20-A The first telephone number for contact with those responsible for managing the Conta PI owned by the institution, as referred to in Art. 15, item II, of the Regulation attached to Resolution BCB No. 195, of March 3, 2022, may be shared by the Central Bank of Brazil with other direct participants of the SPI.” (NR)

Art. 2º This Normative Instruction enters into force on October 14, 2024.

Rogério Antônio Lucca

NOTE

This Normative Instruction aims to clarify that the BCB can share contact phones of those responsible for managing the Conta PI of a direct participant of the SPI with other direct participants, since this measure meets the need for bilateral communications frequently observed between the parties to deal with operational and commercial issues.

Since it is a normative act that aims to clarify procedures related to obligations defined in a hierarchically superior norm, as well as to preserve the integrity of the payment systems, the preparation of a regulatory impact analysis (AIR) is dispensed with, in accordance with the provisions of Art. 4º, item II, and item V, letter “c”, of Decree No. 10.411, of June 30, 2020.

Department of Banking Operations and Payment Systems
