The portal provides open data published by the Banco Central do Brasil (Central Bank of Brazil), covering financial and economic statistics such as credit operations, exchange rates, interest rates (including the Selic rate), payment instruments, Pix transaction statistics, active credit cards, and market expectations data compiled from banks and other financial institutions. Datasets are organized by theme and can be searched through the portal, with data available in formats including HTML, JSON, CSV, API, OData, PDF, and WSDL depending on the dataset.

Some datasets are tied to specific national financial system institutions, listing associated data disclosures per institution.
