Sicredi has expanded its presence in the Serra Region of Rio de Janeiro with the opening of an agency in Vale de Bonsucesso, located in the Third District of Teresópolis. This new unit is scheduled to open on October 26th and increases the financial institution's total number of agencies in the area to five.
This physical expansion reflects Sicredi's strategy of prioritizing personal and close service, maintaining it as a central element in the relationship with its members and local communities. With this new infrastructure, the institution facilitates access to various financial solutions intended for individuals, businesses, and rural producers, bringing services and financial advice closer to the life and work of the regional population.
The inauguration in Vale de Bonsucesso marks an important moment of growth in the Serra Region during 2026. In addition to this new branch, Sicredi also opened an agency in Conquista, located in the Third District of Nova Friburgo, joining the units already established in Petrópolis, Teresópolis, and Nova Friburgo. Thus, the institution now has five physical service points in the region.
The objective of this move goes beyond structural increase; it aims to bring support closer to the different realities present in the territory. Throughout the entire Serra Region and Brazil, Sicredi offers over 300 financial options for various profiles, covering the needs of people, corporations, and farmers of all sizes. These options include credit, financing, investments, consortiums, cards, savings, and essential daily financial services.
The expansion in the Serra Region is intrinsically linked to Sicredi's commitment to the progress of the territories where it operates. Geographical proximity allows teams to understand the socioeconomic particularities of each locality, enabling the building of lasting ties with residents, entrepreneurs, and rural producers.
This focus gains special relevance in the third districts. The two new agencies opened in 2026 extend Sicredi's coverage beyond the central areas of the municipalities, bringing services closer to economic activities and local communities. The design of these units is to serve rural producers more easily, without neglecting the demands of individuals and companies.
In the specific case of Vale de Bonsucesso, Sicredi's activity was already taking place before the formal inauguration, with services provided in the locality. Now, the new structure solidifies this presence, offering a fixed point for guidance and financial assistance to residents, entrepreneurs, and farmers.
Rafael Martins, Business Director of Sicredi in the Serra Region of Rio de Janeiro, stated that the opening of the agency represents the strengthening of a planned presence to accompany local needs and opportunities. He declared: 'Reaching Vale de Bonsucesso with a complete agency represents much more than expanding our physical structure. It is being closer to the population, understanding their needs, and contributing so that new projects, businesses, and opportunities can develop. Sicredi reinvests in the regions where it is present, ensuring that the resources moved also contribute to strengthening the economy and generating opportunities throughout the territory. We conclude 2026 with five agencies in the Serra Region and the certainty that we are building a long-term presence based on human relationship and commitment to local development.'
With the inclusion of Vale de Bonsucesso, Sicredi's physical network in the Serra Region consists of the following units:
- Nova Friburgo: Avenida Alberto Braune, 75, Centro;
- Nova Friburgo, 3rd District: Avenida Antônio Mario de Azevedo, 2200, Conquista;
- Petrópolis: Rua Marechal Deodoro, 50, Centro;
- Teresópolis: Avenida Delfim Moreira, 746, Várzea;
- Teresópolis, 3rd District: Rodovia Doutor Rogério de Moura Estevão, s/n, km 29, Vale de Bonsucesso neighborhood.
With these five units, Sicredi increases its capillarity in the Serra Region, facilitating access not only to products and services but also to financial guidance. The agencies have rooms for training and meetings, as well as coworking spaces. The locations are equipped with qualified professionals to assist in financial decision-making and understand the diverse needs of clients.
Sicredi is a financial institution that, in 2027, will celebrate 125 years of existence, boasting over 10.5 million members and operating throughout Brazil. With more than 3,100 agencies, the organization offers over 300 financial products and services for individuals, businesses, and the agricultural sector, following a model that values close ties, member participation, and the advancement of the regions where it is located.
