Banco do Brasil Check Digit

O Bank of Brazil (BB) is a financial institution, the first in the country, created by King D. João IV in the year 1808. Initially, its function was to finance the opening of manufacturing establishments in colonial Brazil.

Nowadays, it is considered to be one of the largest banks in the country, both in number of branches, capital and net income. It has a mixed organizational character, in which the Brazilian Union holds 68.7% of the shares.

Regarding its functionalities, the Bank of Brazil offers several types of financial operations that make life easier for customers.

However, in many of these procedures, the user, when filling in the information regarding the account or branch, is faced with the letter “x” right after the dash “-”.

In this case, the “x” represents the verifying digit – authentication tool created to verify the authenticity and validity of a numerical value.

Represented by the acronym DV, the check digit is used to combat fraud, typing and transmission errors during transactions, payments, deposits, sending DOCs and TEDs, etc.

How to use the Banco do Brasil check digit in financial operations?

TED and DOC type financial transactions generally require data such as the branch and destination account number.

A very common doubt is when among these numbers, the option of placing the check digit appears, but in the form of a number instead of the letter “x”. This is quite common in the procedures of the bb app which only uses the numeric keypad.

To solve it is very simple: for the Bank of Brazil, the letter “x” of the check digit must be replaced by the number “0”.

In some situations, the method may not work and the customer will have problems using the check digit. In this case, the suggestion is to look for a branch of Banco do Brasil (preferably the one where the account was opened) to correct the error.

But in extremely urgent circumstances, here are some tips that will help you carry out a financial transaction using other Banco do Brasil service platforms:

• Using a self-service terminal (ATM): allows you to carry out transactions and transfers via TED, DOC and bank deposit.
• Via phone: with the card data and access password, the customer will also be able to have full control of financial transactions. For the capitals, the customer must call the number 4004 – 0001. As for the other locations, the number indicated is the 0800 729 0001.
• Through Internet Banking: another safe and fast way to make transfers, as the internet banking site is highly protected. It is only necessary to use a device with internet access, such as computers, tablets, etc.
