The Central Bank of Brazil took another important step to strengthen the security of the national financial system.
This Tuesday (19), the institution published a new resolution that expands the rules for sharing information about signs of crimes.
The main new feature of the text is the inclusion of monitoring unauthorized bets.
The measure, signed by Gilneu Vivan, director of Regulation at the BC, seeks to close the siege against platforms that operate outside the law in the national market.
How the BC will track unauthorized bet movements
The basis of this security strategy is not new, but it has been improved.
Since May 2023, through Joint Resolution No. 6, financial and payment institutions already have an obligation to share data on suspected fraud through an integrated electronic system.
The only exception to this rule applies to consortium administrators.
Now, with the publication of Resolution No. 569, which updates practical standards established in 2023, the scope of surveillance has been expanded.
The document makes it official that records shared between companies must include any evidence of the actions of individuals or legal entities operating clandestinely.
In this way, banks become active agents in identifying the financial flow of these platforms.
New activities in the regulator’s sights and adaptation deadlines
In addition to focusing on the illegal gaming market, the Central Bank took advantage of the resolution to increase the general list of activities that require data recording.
The new text includes monitoring the contracting of credit operations and the provision of services involving virtual assets, such as cryptocurrencies.
Although the standard comes into force immediately on the date of its publication, the body defined a technological adaptation schedule.
Financial institutions have until October 30, 2026 to implement all virtual asset monitoring tools.
The deadline for integrating systems against the financial flow of unauthorized companies ends on December 1, 2026.
