BRB’s geographic presence, initially concentrated in Brasília and the surrounding area, has been gradually expanded to other regions of the country.

The growth strategy includes partnerships with state governments and courts of justice for the management of judicial deposits, payment solutions and social programs, as well as interstate agreements aimed at regional development.

In terms of channels and digitalization, BRB adopts a phygital strategy, integrating physical presence and digital platforms. In addition to its branch network, the bank operates internet banking, the BRB Mobile app, the BRB Card app, a telephone banking service, an investment platform and the digital bank Nação BRB FLA, developed in partnership with Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.

BRB’s operations are subject to a robust regulatory environment, typical of publicly traded financial institutions. The bank is supervised by the National Monetary Council and the Central Bank of Brazil, which is responsible for licensing, supervision, setting operating conditions and prudential oversight, and by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) with regard to the capital markets and BSLI3 and BSLI4 shares traded on B3. As a mixed-capital company, it is also subject to specific state-owned company rules, in particular Law No. 13,303/2016, in addition to corporate law and other regulations applicable to banking activities, foreign exchange operations, institutional advertising and sponsorships. This regulatory structure shapes governance, risk management, compliance processes and the relationship with the public sector.

In terms of environmental, social and governance practices, BRB has been incorporating ESG guidelines into its strategy. The institution has joined the United Nations Global Compact, signaling its commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility issues, and has implemented initiatives such as replacing the material used in its cards with 100% recycled PVC. The bank plays a relevant role in implementing public policies of the Government of the Federal District, especially in income transfer programs and efforts to combat social vulnerability, such as Prato Cheio, Cartão Material Escolar, Cartão Creche, Cartão Gás and DF Social, as well as initiatives in mobility, management of public facilities and support for health, sports, culture and social inclusion projects through Instituto BRB. This set of actions reinforces BRB’s positioning as a public bank with strong regional ties, combining financial intermediation, economic development and the execution of social programs in its activities.
