Both entities belong to a single conglomerate classified in the S4 segment, which groups smaller, less systemically important institutions.
004% of total national financial system assets as of June. Deposits held at the finance arm are covered by Brazil's Fundo Garantidor de Créditos within its standard limits. Assets of the controllers and former administrators became unavailable as of the liquidation date.
