2 sources · 16 Apr 2026 · Share coverage ·

Itaú reported that one of its subsidiaries committed to acquiring BRB assets. The bank said the transaction amounts are immaterial and do not constitute a material fact. The clarification came after CVM questioned news involving negotiations with BRB.

BRB is facing a financial crisis following its acquisition of loan portfolios from Banco Master, an operation that resulted in severe asset deterioration and the need to provision around R$ 8.8 billion. The financial institution itself reported that the Master assets considered healthy are valued at R$ 21.9 billion.
