The Central Bank of Brazil has issued Resolution No. 561, revising the rules for eFX cross-border payment services. The new regulations stipulate that eFX transactions must be conducted through foreign exchange operations or non-resident real accounts, explicitly prohibiting the use of virtual assets. Additionally, the resolution sets a limit of $10,000 for individual digital payments and investment-related cross-border transfers. The rules also enhance KYC requirements, mandate a 10-year information retention period, and require data reporting. Banks, brokers, and payment institutions are authorized to offer these services. The resolution will take effect on October 1, 2026.
