for retirees

Nowadays, not having a credit card complicates people's lives a lot. Whether in transport or delivery applications, online purchases or even to pay in installments for an amount that exceeds the monthly budget, he is indeed a facilitator. However, unfortunately, many retirees, due to lack of proof of minimum income, are unable to benefit from this product. The good news is that Caixa Econômica Federal thought about them and launched the Caixa Simples Card. Come find out more!

Unfortunately, many retirees, for lack of proof of minimum income, are unable to get a credit card – but this changed with the Caixa Simples Card.

Caixa Simples Card: what is it?

First of all, you first need to understand what the Caixa Simples Card is, as it is not simply a conventional credit card, but a payroll product. Intended for INSS retirees or pensioners under 75 years of age, it automatically deducts the minimum invoice amount from the paycheck or INSS benefit.

As it is a payroll credit card, the Caixa Simples Card offers several benefits for you (but don't worry, we'll get there soon!), as well as for the bank. In this case, since the minimum payment has already been deducted and guaranteed, Caixa Econômica Federal knows that it will not harm the customer and can therefore offer rates up to 5x lower than traditional credit cards. Too good, isn't it?

By having the minimum payment already deducted and guaranteed, Caixa Econômica Federal knows that it will not harm the customer, and can therefore offer rates up to 5x lower.

So, how does the Caixa Simples Card work? Well, know that it is “simpler” than you think – yes, its name is not for nothing! In fact, you just need to pass it through the credit function, as if it were a conventional card, for your purchases and that's it. Then the bank guarantees the minimum payment of the invoice, as mentioned above, leaving it under its responsibility to settle the remainder.

Oh, don't worry about the amount that will be deducted from your paycheck or INSS benefit, as it will never be the full amount of your benefit, if it reaches this number. The limit corresponds to the 5% margin of the full amount received, and then the remaining balance must be paid “out”. Easy, simple and safe, isn't it?!
