CAIXA

Overview

CAIXA Econômica Federal (CAIXA) is a prominent public financial institution in Brazil, established in 1861 to promote savings, particularly among low-income populations. As a state-owned bank under the Ministry of Finance, it operates in over 99% of Brazilian municipalities, making it one of the largest banks in Latin America. The institution plays a vital role in supporting the Brazilian government's social and economic policies.

The bank offers an extensive range of financial services, including savings and investment accounts, loans, and housing finance. It is recognized as the largest home financing agent in Brazil, managing significant programs such as Minha Casa, Minha Vida. Additionally, CAIXA administers various federal social programs, manages most federal lotteries with profits supporting education and sports, and develops digital banking platforms to increase financial inclusion—particularly for previously unbanked individuals. With over R$1.80 trillion in assets and more than 146 million accounts, CAIXA supports financial inclusion and urban development across Brazil.
