The Department of Justice and Public Security will investigate 23 financial institutions for possible credit card fraud debited from the payroll.
Fraud will consist in the unauthorized issuance of cards, the charging of interest on bills with a deduction from the minimum payment directly on the payroll. According to the complaint, it occurs when the customer, when obtaining a payroll loan, also receives a credit card, without having the correct information that the loan he has taken is released as a withdrawal on the card and deposited in his checking account.
The investigation was opened on Monday (22).
