“Operation 013 box”. What does it mean? Understand now!

Caixa Econômica Federal (CEF) offers a wide variety of products and account types to its customers. Among these, it's crucial that you understand the 013 Caixa transaction, as well as other relevant codes.

The reason for this is that, to manage the amount of information, the CEF uses a list of codes that play a crucial role in identifying transactions between accounts in its service system.

Therefore, follow our article to learn what Caixa Operation 013 is and what the bank codes mean.

What does the code “operation 013” mean?

When making a transaction, you may see Caixa's code 013, or it may appear as "PF code 013." This code is simple to understand, although it often causes confusion among the financial institution's customers.

First, it's important to note that each code is used to identify a customer's account type. Caixa uses these codes to better organize transactions.

In this context, the acronym “PF” in the nomenclature indicates that the account belongs to an individual, linked to a CPF, instead of a CNPJ.

But what does the number 013 in the code mean? The answer is simple: it indicates that the customer's account is a savings account. This type of account has fewer funds compared to a checking account, which is typically identified by the code 001.

Therefore, Caixa code 013, or PF code 013, is nothing more than the designation for a Caixa savings account intended for individuals.

How do I find the transaction code on my Caixa card?

Now that you understand the meaning of Caixa code 013, we'll show you how to identify the type of account you have.

This process is very simple, as this information is usually available on your debit card.

To find this information on your card, simply look on the front, just below the name "Caixa." This is where you'll find the account type identification linked to your bank account.

However, this isn't the only way to determine your Caixa account type. You can also check your debit card number.

The code that designates the account type consists of three digits, as mentioned above. These digits are located immediately after the first three digits in the numbering. For example: 555 013 11111111-1.

In the example, Caixa's code 013 indicates that the account is a savings account. If it were 001, it would be a checking account; if it were 003, it would be linked to a legal entity.

This way, you can identify your account code and use it correctly.

How do I know what type of account I have at Caixa?

There are two ways to find out what type of account you have at Caixa:

• Through the operation code on the card
• Through bank statement

As previously mentioned, the transaction code consists of three digits that appear immediately after the branch number. This number represents your account type. Individual savings accounts, for example, are represented by 013, while individual checking accounts are represented by 001.

To find out the operation code on your Caixa card, simply do the following:

• Look at the front of your card.
• Find the sequence of numbers that starts with four digits, followed by three digits, followed by eight more digits.
• The three digits in the middle are the operation code.

The other way is through your bank statement, which also shows your account type. To find out your account type from your statement, follow these steps:

• Access your Caixa card bank statement.
• Locate the line that shows your account number.
• The operation code appears immediately after the account number.

For example, if your account number is 0013-0, the operation code is 013.

If you don't have your Caixa card or bank statement, you can contact Caixa's Customer Service Center for this information. The Customer Service Center number is 0800 726 0101.
