In times of economic imbalance, many Brazilians seek credit through payroll loans and personal loans. A payroll loan involves direct deduction from the borrower's salary or pension before they receive it, while a personal loan involves direct deduction from the borrower's bank account.

It is important to use a financial institution authorized by the Banco Central and to formalize the contract with clear terms. Payroll loans are regulated by specific laws, while personal loans are governed by Banco Central regulations without a limit on account deductions.
