When & where Desk hours and event dates change; confirm on Banco Palmas or the WhatsApp channel linked there before you travel. Why it matters in Fortaleza When Palmeiras residents buy with Palmas, grocers, tailors, and repair cafés hire neighbours instead of sending fees to distant banks. Shared finance turns everyday shopping into community infrastructure. Good to know - Is Palmas only paper? Digital e-dinheiro tools extend the same circle through the national community-bank network described on partner pages. - Do I need formal payroll? Guarantees lean on neighbourhood trust and local production plans, as described on the institute site. - Can students visit? Open days happen, but account opening prioritises residents and local entrepreneurs.
