Crédito is based on four main axes. The first (Acredita no Primeiro Passo) is a microcredit program for those enrolled in CadÚnico. The second (Believe in your business) is aimed at companies, through the Desenrola Pequenos Negócios and Procred 360 program. There is also a front that aims to create a secondary market for real estate credit. Finally, there is the bet on Eco Invest Brasil – Exchange Protection for Green Investments (PTE), which aims to encourage foreign investments in sustainable projects in Brazil.
