BCRA Updates PSP Rules in Argentina

The Official Gazette of the Argentine Republic published Circular SINAP 1-249, Payment Service Providers, Update, on July 29, 2026. At the same time, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic updated the ordered text of Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures through Communication A 8457/2026, adding pages that replace those previously provided.

Regulatory update for PSPs

The official Argentina.gob.ar portal lists BCRA Communication A 8454/2026 as a rule addressed to financial institutions and payment service providers. It appears there under the formal name Circular SINAP 1-249, Payment Service Providers, Update, and the portal notes its publication in Official Gazette No. 35959, page 103.

That official reference reinforces the update status of the ordered text applicable to PSPs. The available material does not spell out specific operational changes, nor does it add new cybersecurity deadlines or concrete sanctions linked to these communications.

Scope of the published changes

According to the BCRA communication, the update to the ordered text of Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures was limited to adding replacement pages. In the reviewed results, there is also a reference from De qué se trata about Communication A 8457/2026, which describes the same regulatory update.

With these rules published in late July 2026, the BCRA again moved the operational framework tied to financial institutions and payment service providers, in an agenda formalized in the Official Gazette and the official regulatory portal.
