Therefore, if there is an attempt to create an account without authorization, the institution must automatically reject the transaction. &nbsp; Why did the Central Bank launch BC Protege+? The rise in fraud involving the opening of bank accounts with forged identities or data stolen has prompted the creation of a preventative blocking mechanism. Especially with the rise of fintechs, digital banks, and online services, it has become urgent to offer users a tool that guarantees control over their CPF or CNPJ within the financial system. &nbsp; The Central Bank considered that simply requiring documents to open an account was not enough to avoid all scams, especially those that use leaked or tampered data. BC Protege+ acts as an entry barrier, preventing the fraudulent account from being created and shielding the user against the misuse of their data. &nbsp; How does this protection work in practice? Any individual or legal entity can join BC Protege+.

Protection depends on the user\u2019s active participation. If the person or company does not activate the block, the risk remains. &nbsp; Who should consider activating it? Protection is especially recommended for individuals or companies that have: History of personal data exposure; Those who fear identity fraud; New or rarely used CNPJ, with no history of banking relationships; and Companies with foreign partners or subsidiaries, to prevent the improper opening of accounts by third parties. &nbsp; Step-by-step guide to joining BC Protege+ To activate protection, simply follow these steps: Access the Central Bank (BC) web portal and log in to \u201cMeu BC\u201d with your gov.br account access (silver or gold level), using two-step authentication; Click on the \u201cBC Protege+\u201d service; Activate the protection to prevent new account openings or inclusions as a representative; and If you want to open an account in the future, simply return to the system and disable the protection.
