vale postal (postal order)
A money order you collect at a CTT post office. Segurança Social uses it to pay benefits and pensions to people who have not entered a bank account number (IBAN) in their online account. The money is held at the post office for 60 days.
Where you come across it. Segurança Social payments when no IBAN has been entered.
If the postal order is stolen or paid to the wrong person, social security does not pay out a second time. It is safer to enter your IBAN.
