Question · Q4 2025

Matheus Guimarães asked for an update on the expectations regarding the replenishment of the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC) in 2026, particularly in light of the Banco Master event.

Answer

CEO Mario Roberto Opice Leão stated that the replenishment of the FGC is being designed in coordination with the Central Bank and National Monetary Council, with banks providing input. He anticipates a short-term replenishment, possibly in February, to cover the volume that exited due to the Banco Master event and its derivatives. He expects a linear replenishment respecting banks' deposit proportions, potentially involving an anticipation of future flow or marginal contributions. He emphasized the critical need to improve FGC rules to prevent similar cases in the future.

Matheus Guimarães's questions to Itau Unibanco Holding (ITUB) leadership

Question · Q1 2025

Matheus Guimarães from XP inquired about Itaú's cost of funding strategy in a competitive environment and the potential subordination risk to the credit card business from the new private payroll loan product.

Answer

CEO Milton Maluhy Filho explained that the bank's primary focus is on strengthening the client franchise and lifetime value, not just optimizing funding costs in the short term. Regarding the second point, he views the private payroll loan as a superior and cheaper financing product for consumers, which should lead to a healthier credit dynamic and potentially lower delinquency compared to revolving credit card debt.
