BRB studies selling stakes in different subsidiaries as part of capitalization plan

BRB (Banco de Brasília) is considering selling minority stakes in its subsidiaries to raise funds due to financial issues following losses with Banco Master.

BRB (Banco de Brasília) is exploring the potential for monetizing minority shares in several of its subsidiaries to generate capital amid financial challenges stemming from losses related to operations with Banco Master. These developments were reported by sources familiar with the situation, indicating that the bank has identified possible business opportunities in at least three of its subsidiaries: the financial division, the card division, and the services division.

One representative mentioned that several proposals have been made for more than one company in the conglomerate, with a particular focus on Financeira BRB. This subsidiary provides essential financial products, including payroll loans and vehicle financing, and has seen substantial customer growth. According to the latest semi-annual report from 2025, Financeira BRB boasts 1.6 million clients, representing a remarkable 316% increase from the previous year, highlighting the subsidiary's significant role in the bank's overall strategy.

The potential sale of shares could not only improve BRB's financial standing but also reshape its business portfolio, adapting to current market conditions and customer demands. As BRB navigates these financial hurdles, stakeholders will be closely watching how these decisions impact the bank's operations and performance moving forward.
