Description
Auto-translated from PortugueseCREDENTIALING OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, for the provision of banking services for the collection of municipal taxes and other revenues belonging to the Municipal Prefecture of Araraquara – PMA, through collection documents with a barcode in the FEBRABAN (Brazilian Federation of Banks) standard, non-compensable, and/or by direct debit from a current account, with electronic accountability of collected amounts, in stri...
The contracting is essential to ensure the continuity of PMA's collection activities, guaranteeing broad, accessible, and secure means for payment of taxes and other public revenues, according to the model already adopted in the Previous Credentialing Notice.
It should highlight how credentialing benefits the taxpayer and fiscal management:
- The plurality of financial institutions (official banks, private banks, credit unions, and fintechs) facilitates the fulfillment of tax obligations by citizens, reducing non-payment due to lack of payment channels.
- By credentialing multiple institutions, the Prefecture is not dependent on a single contract, mitigating risks of interruption in the municipal cash flow. The absence of a credentialed banking network compromises the regular inflow of revenues, the execution of public policies, and adequate service to taxpayers, which is why credentialing is the most efficient solution aligned with the public interest.
- The Administration sets the fee amount (remuneration per settled boleto/guide) uniformly, ensuring equal treatment among credentialed parties.
The requirement for an operating authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil serves as a guarantee of solidity and security in the transfer of amounts to the Municipal Treasury.
It is also justified the need for institutions to operate according to file exchange standards (FEBRABAN standard) for automated bank reconciliation.
