Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U. (Banco Galicia)

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U. (Banco Galicia)’s official website describes its Move digital account for individuals and account services for businesses. The personal-account process is handled through App Galicia, and business account documents are submitted through the Galicia Office channel. The public pages confirm local Argentine products and the application steps shown; eligibility for non-resident individuals, foreign companies, and non-resident controllers has not been publicly confirmed, and the current authorization record in the BCRA’s dynamic directory remains to be further verified.

Regulator
Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (Banco Central de la República Argentina, BCRA)
Check date
2026-10-26
Verify status
Some information remains to be confirmed: The bank's personal product pages, corporate account-opening steps, ARCA tax materials and UIF AML rules have been read directly, and the legal name record has been verified in BCRA's official 2025 document. However, BCRA's current dynamic directory page did not return the target entity entry, so this cannot support a claim that the current 2026 licence has been fully verified. The bank has not publicly confirmed non-resident individuals, overseas companies, overseas addresses/tax numbers, complete corporate documents, global remote witnessing or specific corporate fees/processing timelines. Separate written confirmation from the bank and BCRA is required.

Research scope and official resources

Topic number:americas-banco-de-galicia-y-buenos-aires-sau

According to the selection record in selection.json, this candidate is included as a selected large regional institution under The Banker Top 1000 World Banks 2026 Latin America comparison criteria. No specific ranking for Banco Galicia is claimed, nor does this indicate that a licence or account-opening eligibility has been confirmed. This list is not a current global top 100 ranking.

Bank’s official website

Personal Eligibility and Documents

The official Move page confirms that individuals can select “open an account” in the App Galicia, enter information, and verify it. The page describes the product as including peso and U.S. dollar savings accounts and a virtual debit card. It does not explicitly specify the applicant’s nationality, Argentine residency status, age, or tax residency requirements; therefore, it cannot confirm that foreign nationals or nonresidents can open an account. The bank’s general financial education page lists DNI, identity photo or video verification, and other general account-opening elements, while also stating that requirements vary by bank and account. This is not a qualification list specific to the Move product. Whether nonresidents can apply using a passport or other Argentine identity document, and whether a residence permit or local tax number is required, must be confirmed in writing with the bank.

Personal information publicly disclosed or identified

  • The Move product page expressly requires applicants to use App Galicia to select account opening, enter details, and verify information; the page does not publish a complete list of identity, address, or tax documents. [s1]
  • A general financial-education article from the bank mentions DNI images and photo or video identity verification. The article states that bank and account requirements may differ, so this is general preparation guidance, not Move-specific policy or a commitment to accept documents from non-residents. [s2]
  • General preparation suggestion (not a publicly stated product policy of Banco Galicia): You may first prepare valid identification, proof of residential address, tax-residency and tax-number details, and evidence of income/source of funds. Confirm with the bank whether these are required, which documents are accepted, and what translation/certification format is required.
  • No evidence was found that non-residents can apply using a passport, local residence document, overseas address, or foreign tax number. This remains to be confirmed; general advice should not be presented as material the bank requires or accepts.

Company eligibility and documents

Banco Galicia’s website offers Cuenta Empresa and Galicia Office services and states that businesses can apply online. Its business account opening steps show that Pyme applicants enter their CUIT in the Galicia Office App, complete identity verification by taking a photo, verify their phone and submit company documents. What can be confirmed is that the bank presents this local business account service and process for businesses/SMEs. Public pages do not state whether foreign-registered companies, businesses without an operating entity in Argentina, non-resident beneficial owners or overseas authorized representatives are eligible, nor do they publish full legal-entity eligibility criteria or account approval standards. Confirm with the bank; do not treat the online application option as a commitment that it applies to foreign businesses.

Company information publicly disclosed or identified

  • The official business account opening steps require a Pyme to enter its CUIT in App Galicia Office, verify identity by taking a photo, verify a mobile phone, and upload company documents to “Documentación > Subir documentación” in Office Banking. [s3]
  • The bank directs customers to the specific document list in Office Banking, under “Documentación > Documentos para tu empresa” after login. That list was not shown on the public pages reviewed, so it cannot be confirmed whether the company’s articles of association, authorization documents, shareholder/beneficial-owner information, etc. constitute the bank’s official complete checklist for all applicants. [s3]
  • General preparation suggestion (not a published policy of the bank): An Argentine company may prepare registration and articles of association, tax number/CUIT, information on the current representative and signing authorization, ownership/ultimate beneficial ownership structure, business address, and an explanation of business activities/source of funds. The bank may request additional documents depending on the entity type and risk.
  • Public information does not specify certification, apostille, translation, or acceptance-format requirements for overseas company registration documents, or for non-resident directors or beneficial owners. Confirm these with the bank before applying.

Address, tax, and remote / witnessed procedures

Address and tax

The business account-opening steps expressly require a CUIT. ARCA's official website provides sections for tax registration, changes/cessation of activities, and matters such as economic activities, taxes, and address. The personal Move page only says to enter details and verify information; a general financial education article mentions DNI, but no specific Move requirements for proof of address or personal tax number have been published. The bank has not stated in the public materials reviewed which tax number non-residents may use, or what tax-residence declarations or foreign-address evidence are required. Therefore, the bank must confirm whether non-residents may provide a CUIT, tax-residency self-certification, and address documents.

Remote / witnessing

The official personal product supports submitting information and verifying it through App Galicia. The business steps involve identity photos in App Galicia Office, mobile phone verification, document uploads, and facial recognition to activate Office Token. These only establish that the page describes digital channels; they do not establish that nonresidents can open accounts remotely from anywhere in the world. No evidence was found that the bank publicly supports global video interviews, third-party witnessing, foreign notarization/authentication as a substitute, or applications through an authorized representative. Remote witnessing should not be inferred.

Public process reference

  1. Personal Move: Download the App Galicia, select “Open an account,” enter your details, and verify the information. The official website does not promise non-resident eligibility, an approval timeframe, or that an application will necessarily be approved. [s1]
  2. Business Pyme: In the App Galicia Office, select “Open an account,” enter the CUIT and verify your identity with a photo, enter and verify your mobile phone number, and create a username and password. [s3]
  3. Business documents: Submit documents through “Documentación > Subir documentación” in Office Banking. Sign in to the “Documentos para tu empresa” section or ask the bank for the full list of document categories. [s3]
  4. For businesses, after account opening: follow the website's process to activate the Office Token (facial recognition in the app and a verification code sent by email), then manage business-user permissions in Office Banking. These are digital procedures described on the website and do not guarantee approval of an account application. [s3]

Compliance topics, details, and sources

Argentina AML/CFT and customer due diligence

Argentina UIF Resolution No. 14/2023 applies to regulated financial institutions and requires them to identify, assess, monitor, manage and mitigate money-laundering/terrorist-financing risks on a risk basis. Customer risk factors include residence, nationality, income/assets, business activity, customer type, and product/channel/geographic area. This regulation is the local baseline, not Banco Galicia’s complete internal checklist for a particular account applicant.

Ultimate beneficial owners, source of funds, and risk review

UIF resolution defines customers to include domestic or foreign natural persons, legal entities and legal arrangements, and incorporates ultimate beneficial owners, PEPs and customer due diligence into its risk-control framework. The bank may verify control/beneficial ownership relationships and source of funds or wealth based on the risks of each case. Banco Galicia’s specific thresholds, document formats and review outcomes for foreign companies or non-resident beneficiaries are not provided on public pages and must be confirmed with the bank.

Source:Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, Texto original

Tax Residency Self-Certification and CRS/FATCA Information Reporting

Argentina’s ARCA explains that financial institutions must comply with CRS/FATCA information-reporting frameworks under international instruments to combat tax evasion and improve tax compliance; whether an account is reportable and the scope of reporting depend on applicable rules and the account holder’s circumstances. CRS and FATCA are separate frameworks; this profile does not describe the United States as a CRS participant and has not verified Banco Galicia’s requirements for specific tax forms from applicants.

PEP and geographic risk reviews; sanctions screening details are not public

UIF risk rules require financial institutions to consider PEP status, customers’ place of residence and nationality, and geographic regions as risk factors. Public information does not disclose Banco Galicia’s current sanctions-list screening tools, specific list versions or the screening outcome for any applicant. Customers should truthfully complete declarations requested by the bank; general regulations should not be presented as a specific operating policy publicly disclosed by the bank.

Personal information and biometric data

The bank’s privacy policy, under the name Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U. (Banco Galicia), describes its data collection channels and purposes, and mentions address, nationality, and biometric/identity data, as well as purposes including customer identification, identity verification, and financial services. The corporate account-opening process includes photo verification and facial recognition; review the bank’s privacy policy before submitting information.

Compliance evidence

Account-opening compliance and supporting-document checklist

The bank’s stated requirements, local regulations, and preparation recommendations are presented separately. Acceptance in a specific case is subject to confirmation by the bank.

This guide focuses on the corporate account application and maintenance process for Banco Galicia’s Pyme account as presented on its official website. The bank must still confirm the eligible applicants and legal entity requirements; the webpage does not confirm whether foreign-registered companies, nonresident controllers, or foreign authorized representatives are eligible. The personal Move digital account is outside the scope of this expansion, and corporate account procedures cannot be extrapolated to personal or nonresident account eligibility.

Date information checked:2026-10-26

Information evidence package

Company registration, CUIT, and authorized representative

Who it applies to
Applications by local Argentine Pyme businesses; preparation for non-Argentine companies only, not an indication of bank acceptance
Documents to Prepare
  • The bank expressly describes the account-opening steps: select account opening in the App Galicia Office, enter the CUIT, verify identity by taking a photo, and verify the mobile phone number; then create a username and password.
  • The bank requires Pyme company documents to be uploaded, but the complete list is under Office Banking > Documentación > Documentos para tu empresa; the public page does not specify the documents.
  • Preparation recommendation: Have the company registration documents/articles and latest registration details, tax registration, current management details and basis for signing authority ready for the bank to confirm according to the company type. Do not present these preparation items as a bank checklist required of every applicant.
Description
The publicly described process on the official website involves photo verification in the app; it does not explain whether passports, foreign identity documents, certified paper copies, translations, or particular validity periods are accepted. Before uploading scans of originals or notarized/certified translations, confirm the required format, certification, and translation directly with the bank.

Source:Banco Galicia — Primeros pasos Empresas

Ownership and control chain and ultimate beneficial owner information

Who it applies to
The corporate applicant and its direct/indirect controllers; this is a due-diligence preparation suggestion, not a bank-published item-by-item checklist.
Documents to Prepare
  • Prepare an ownership structure chart listing each tier of entities, shareholding percentages, control relationships and ultimate natural persons, together with the articles, shareholder/member register and available registration extracts.
  • Prepare proof of identity and evidence of roles/authorization for the ultimate natural persons and key managers, and briefly explain any nominee holdings, dispersed shareholdings, or discrepancies between control rights and shareholding percentages.
  • If the ownership chain includes foreign entities, organize registration documents for each tier, evidence of good standing and documents tracing ownership to the natural persons. The bank must confirm whether certification or translation is required and what shareholding/control threshold applies.
Description
UIF’s updated consolidated rules require financial institutions to continuously identify, verify and understand customers’ ultimate beneficial owners. Due diligence on medium-risk legal entities includes current incorporation documents/articles of association, information on members of management bodies and shareholders, and may use reliable independent sources. The provisions cited in this guidance do not establish a uniform percentage threshold applicable to all countries and banks.

Source:Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Business Purpose, Source of Funds, and Tax Residency Information

Who it applies to
Preparation materials for all business applicants; the supporting evidence required by regulation depends on the bank’s risk classification and the individual case.
Documents to Prepare
  • Prepare a one-page business summary covering products/services, main customers and suppliers, regions of operation, account purpose, expected types of payments and receipts, and approximate transaction volumes.
  • Prepare documents that can explain the business and source of funds, such as recent financial statements, invoices/contracts, tax or sales records, or financing/shareholder contribution documents. Select materials based on the actual flow of funds; do not submit unrelated documents just to complete a checklist.
  • Prepare the company’s and related individuals’ tax residences, tax IDs, and foreign tax contact information to respond to the bank’s tax self-certification requirements. ARCA states that financial institutions are subject to the CRS/FATCA international information exchange reporting regime, but its public page does not specify Galicia’s forms or account-opening rules for non-residents.
Description
UIF’s updated consolidated rules require medium-risk customers to provide evidence of economic activity and income, and the source of funds or assets. High-risk customers must also document the legitimacy of the source and may be asked to explain the purpose of the account and reasons for transactions. These document categories are preparation guidance aligned with the objectives of these regulations; actual requirements are determined by the bank based on risk and customer circumstances.

Due diligence and enhanced verification

Customer, management, and ultimate beneficial owner identification

Basis for Verification
Argentina UIF’s updated consolidated rules require financial institutions to identify and verify customers and conduct ongoing due diligence before establishing a relationship and throughout the relationship, as well as continually identify, verify and understand beneficial owners. The bank’s public account-opening page only lists CUIT, photo identity verification and steps to upload company documents; it does not disclose its full beneficial-owner thresholds or standards for foreign documents.
Preparation recommendation
Organize a tier-by-tier ownership/control chart, registration records, management register, signing authorizations, and identification documents. If there are nominee shareholdings, complex chains, or ownership changes, attach explanations and supporting records. These are preparation suggestions to facilitate due diligence.
Scope
Regulatory requirements of the UIF for regulated financial institutions; bank-specific thresholds, review formats and required documents are not publicly disclosed. No globally uniform 25% threshold is assumed.

Source:Banco Galicia — Primeros pasos Empresas；Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Business legitimacy, source of funds and wealth

Basis for Verification
The UIF’s updated consolidated rules require risk-based due diligence: medium-risk customers must provide supporting evidence relating to their economic activity and the source of income, funds or assets; high-risk customers must establish the legitimacy of the source. Banks should also understand the purpose of the relationship and the reasons for transactions, and strengthen monitoring. These rules govern banks’ risk controls and do not mean that Galicia has published a fixed document checklist for all businesses.
Preparation recommendation
Ensure the business, transaction volume, counterparties, and flow of funds described in the account-opening explanation are consistent with the company’s books, contracts, invoices, tax, and financing records. Prepare an explanation of the source and business rationale for unusually large transactions, one-off financing, or cross-border payments and receipts.
Scope
Local regulatory risk-based requirements and customer preparation advice; specific risk classifications, supplementary document requirements, and limits are not public.

Source:Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

PEPs, terrorism-related lists and geographic risk

Basis for Verification
UIF rules require banks to apply PEP provisions, check RePET before establishing a relationship, continuously monitor that register and take measures based on risk factors. Foreign PEPs and relationships connected to jurisdictions identified by the GAFI as high-risk and subject to a call for action are given as examples of high-risk cases. The rules allow banks to accept or refuse high-risk or foreign PEPs and require them to record their reasons; they do not mean that all PEPs are refused, nor that any individual list has been checked in this review.
Preparation recommendation
Truthfully complete the bank’s required PEP/related-person and sanctions or list declarations. Prepare explanations of public office/position, tenure, family or close relationships, and source of funds (if relevant). For transactions involving high-risk regions, prepare contracts, trade background, and funds-flow documentation.
Scope
Regulatory obligations for financial institutions in Argentina and case-specific risk reviews; Banco Galicia’s specific screening tools, list coverage and internal acceptance thresholds are not public.

Source:Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Cross-Border Tax Self-Certification and CRS/FATCA

Basis for Verification
ARCA explains that financial institutions are subject to information regimes under international CRS/FATCA instruments. This public information does not confirm that every account is reportable, nor does it disclose Banco Galicia's specific form requirements for business applicants, controlling persons or non-resident tax identification numbers.
Preparation recommendation
Compile the tax residences, tax identification numbers in each jurisdiction and any changes for the business and related individuals. Complete self-certifications only as required by the bank and ensure they match tax registrations; do not confuse CRS with FATCA.
Scope
Background on Argentina’s tax information frameworks; customer documents are general preparation suggestions, and actual reporting scope depends on applicable rules and the account holder’s circumstances.

Source:ARCA — Información financiera CRS/FATCA

Ongoing maintenance obligations

Cooperate with customer-file updates and ongoing transaction due diligence

The UIF’s updated consolidated rules require financial institutions to continuously monitor transactions for consistency with the customer’s business, risk profile and source of funds or wealth, and to update customer files according to risk: no more than 1 years for high-risk customers, 3 years for medium-risk customers and 5 years for low-risk customers. For medium- and low-risk customers, whether periodic updates are needed may be assessed based on risk and the materiality of transactions. These intervals are regulatory maximums for financial institutions’ file updates, not a publicly disclosed fixed submission schedule for Galicia customers. Customers should retain current registration, tax and transaction evidence and respond promptly to the bank’s requests for additional documents or explanations.

Source:Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Changes to company management, authorized signatories, and online banking access rights

The bank’s help page explains that people holding a company office under its articles of association or a power of attorney granting banking authority may authorize transactions. After a change in company composition, updates can be made in Office Banking > Administrar empresa > Gestión de documentos > Cargos o autoridades, and the customer manager should be contacted to add the person as an account holder. New powers of attorney can be uploaded under Apoderados. Authorization remains subject to the limits set by the articles of association/power of attorney; online banking permissions must also be configured and Office Token enabled.

Consistency between tax information and transaction purpose

Under CRS/FATCA, financial institutions may have obligations to report account information. After account opening, if the company’s tax residence, tax identification number, actual business operations, source of funds, or transaction patterns change, it is advisable to proactively check the records held by the bank and update them as required. Public sources do not specify the bank’s review frequency, notification deadline, specific forms, or consequences of late submission; no uniform deadline is assumed.

Please confirm with the bank before booking

  1. Which business team/legal entity at Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U. should handle this application? Does this Pyme product accept foreign-incorporated companies, foreign controllers, or non-resident authorized representatives?
  2. Please provide the complete account-opening document list applicable to this company's legal form. In addition to the CUIT and photo ID verification, which directors, signatories, and ultimate beneficial owners must provide proof of identity?
  3. Must overseas company registration documents, powers of attorney, and identity documents be notarized, apostilled/consularly authenticated, or translated into Spanish? Are electronically certified copies accepted?
  4. What identification/control standard does the bank apply to direct and indirect ultimate beneficial owners? If ownership is dispersed or there is no single shareholder, what evidence of control must be submitted?
  5. Which tax residency self-certifications must the business and its beneficiaries complete? Must foreign TINs or tax residency certificates be provided, and how should subsequent changes to the information be updated?
  6. How are account-opening reviews, minimum balances, fees, conditions for receiving cross-border credits, and transaction limits confirmed? What contact channel and case-specific time frames apply to file reviews or explanations of significant transactions?

Not confirmed by public information

  • The account-opening steps on the official website apply to the Pyme process described on its page; eligibility for overseas-registered companies, companies without an Argentine entity, and nonresident individuals/controllers has not been publicly confirmed.
  • The complete company document checklist is available in Office Banking after login; requirements for certification and translation of foreign documents, validity periods, and acceptable types of ID have not been published.
  • UIF regulations require financial institutions to conduct risk-based due diligence, but Banco Galicia has not publicly disclosed a specific UBO threshold, details of PEP/list screening, customer risk-rating criteria or internal acceptance limits.
  • ARCA's public page only summarizes the CRS/FATCA information regime; it does not disclose the bank's specific tax forms, case-by-case reporting determinations or non-resident account policy.
  • The minimum account balance, business-account fees, processing times, limits and remote identity-verification/in-person appointment arrangements for non-residents have not been confirmed by the public sources reviewed.

Sources & Scope of Verification

  1. Banco Galicia — Primeros pasos Empresas

    Official business account opening steps: enter the CUIT in App Galicia Office, verify identity by taking a photo, verify the mobile number, and create the account. Upload company documents to Documentación > Subir documentación in Office Banking; the full checklist is referenced under Documentos para tu empresa. The page also describes Token and user permission settings. It does not confirm nonresident eligibility.

  2. Banco Galicia Ayuda Empresas — Quién puede autorizar una operación

    The bank’s help page explains the process for updating company officer appointments/powers of attorney with banking authority, changes to company composition and new powers of attorney in Office Banking, as well as transaction authorization rights, amount limits and Office Token requirements.

  3. Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

    The official consolidated updated text, including amendments to relevant provisions in 2024, states that financial institutions must apply a risk-based approach to identifying customers and ultimate beneficial owners, conduct ongoing due diligence, and monitor transactions. Articles 29 and 30 set out supporting evidence for the activities and sources of funds of medium- and high-risk customers and enhanced measures. Article 31 requires customer files to be updated at intervals of no more than 1/3/5 years for high-/medium-/low-risk customers, respectively.

  4. ARCA — Información financiera CRS/FATCA

    Argentina’s tax authority outlines the information-reporting/exchange frameworks for financial institutions under international CRS/FATCA instruments; it does not list Banco Galicia’s specific customer forms or non-resident eligibility conditions.

Fees and timelines

The Move page describes the digital account as having no maintenance fee and says that peso and U.S. dollar savings accounts are available. A footnote explains that opening a U.S. dollar savings account itself is free, but the bank may subsequently charge fees under its current fee schedule, which may change. Therefore, “no maintenance fee” should not be extended to mean that all services are permanently free. The applicable fee schedule amounts as of 2026-10-26 have not been verified; business account fees, minimum balances, account limits, processing/approval times, and special fees for non-residents were not confirmed in the sources reviewed.

Limitations and practical considerations

  • The Move and business-account pages are aimed at local personal and business banking in Argentina; eligibility for foreign individuals, overseas companies, and non-resident controllers has not been confirmed.
  • The public business process is for Pyme and expressly requires a CUIT. The complete company document checklist must be viewed in Office Banking; general recommended documents should not be treated as the bank’s policy.
  • The digital identity verification described on public pages is not equivalent to global remote account opening, third-party witnessing, or an alternative arrangement for notarisation abroad.
  • The available evidence does not confirm the current limits, minimum balance, processing time or fees applicable to non-residents for this bank’s products.
  • selection.json is for institutional screening only. Public information does not constitute a currently bookable or administrable account-opening channel for RGYS, nor a guarantee of approval, and should not be used to circumvent bank review.

Licensing evidence and regulatory verification

The BCRA financial institutions database states that it covers institutions operating in Argentina and can be used to search bank codes, CUIT, head-office addresses and other information. However, the public page displayed only a dynamic-loading placeholder, so the target entity’s current entry could not be verified directly from the database page. Separately, the official PDF of Comunicación B 12998, published by the BCRA on 2025-06-09, was directly accessed and its text extracted. Its bank list includes “BANCO DE GALICIA Y BUENOS AIRES S.A.U.” and lists bank code 7 and code 11007. This confirms that the legal name appeared in an official bank list, but the document is not a current authorization record for 2026 and does not, by itself, establish that current license status has been verified. The bank’s website product page also provides services under the same bank name/CUIT. Ask the bank or the BCRA dynamic register to confirm in writing the current authorization status and account-opening entity as of the application date.

  2. Banco Galicia — Cómo abrir una cuenta bancaria

    The bank’s general financial education page describes common elements of an online account-opening process, such as DNI image or video verification. The page expressly states that requirements may vary by bank and account; this profile uses it only as general preparation guidance, not as a policy for a specific account or for non-residents.

  3. Banco Galicia — Primeros pasos Empresas

    The business account-opening steps page says that a Pyme should select account opening in the App Galicia Office, enter a CUIT, complete photo verification, verify a mobile phone, create login details, and upload company documents in Office Banking. It also lists activation of the Office Token using in-app facial recognition and subsequent permissions management. The specific company document checklist is referenced in the business documents section after login.

  4. Banco Galicia — Hacete Galicia Empresas

    The company's website describes Cuenta Empresa, an account and services for businesses/SMEs, and identifies Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Argentine CUIT 30-50000173-5 in its legal notice. This marketing page does not confirm eligibility for foreign entities.

  5. BCRA — Entidades Financieras database description

    The BCRA states that this database can be used to search financial institutions operating in Argentina and provides bank codes, CUIT, head-office addresses, shareholders, directors and financial information. This time, only the page description and dynamic-loading notice were obtained; the target bank’s current entry could not be read directly from the page.

  6. BCRA — Comunicación B 12998

    Read the official PDF directly and extract the text; the bank list in the 2025-06-09 publication lists BANCO DE GALICIA Y BUENOS AIRES S.A.U., under numbers 7 and 11007. This historical official list confirms that its legal name was included at the time; it does not by itself establish its current authorization status in 2026.

  7. Argentina UIF — Resolución 14/2023, Texto original

    The official text of Argentine regulations sets out the risk-based AML/CFT framework applicable to financial institutions, definitions of customers and beneficial owners, due-diligence obligations, and risk factors relating to customers, residence/nationality and geographic areas, and addresses PEP risk considerations.

  8. ARCA — Información financiera CRS/FATCA

    Argentina’s tax authority explains that financial institutions’ information framework exchanges financial-account information through international CRS/FATCA instruments; this page does not provide Banco Galicia’s tax-residency forms for specific customers or non-resident account eligibility.

  9. ARCA — Inscripción, modificaciones y cese de actividades

    Argentina’s tax authority’s registration portal covers registration, changes and cessation of activities, as well as matters relating to economic activities, taxes and addresses. It provides local administrative context for Argentina’s CUIT/tax address; it is not a bank rule on accepting non-resident documents.

  10. Banco Galicia — Política de Privacidad y Uso de Datos Personales

    Banco Galicia’s official privacy policy PDF identifies the bank as Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U. (CUIT 30-50000173-5), describes the processing of data through its website, apps and forms, lists address, nationality and biometric/identity information, and explains purposes including customer identification and identity verification.
