Banco Macro S.A.

Banco Macro S.A. (the Argentine domestic banking legal entity; not a brand or a shareholder-controlled entity)

Banco Macro S.A. is an Argentine banking entity listed in the BCRA 2026-7 financial system register (code 285). The bank’s publicly listed basic personal savings account, available for online application, requires applicants to be at least 18 years old and to hold a valid Argentine DNI. Public information does not confirm account eligibility for non-resident individuals or foreign companies.

(code 285) has been checked against BCRA's financial system roster as of 2026-7; published eligibility for basic personal savings accounts has been verified. The BCRA roster does not list a licence number or the full scope of business. Account-opening eligibility for non-resident individuals and overseas companies, corporate document lists, cross-border remote verification and bank-specific compliance forms have not been publicly confirmed.

Research scope and official resources

Topic number:americas-banco-macro-sa

Retains the selected leads in the candidate file based on publicly available major institutions from 2025/2026 and Latin American comparisons; it does not repeat or infer the bank’s standalone rank, and does not treat the candidate set as a real-time top 100, evidence of account acceptance or proof of licensing.

Bank’s official website

Personal Eligibility and Documents

Personal: Banco Macro’s publicly listed online application for a basic savings account is for applicants aged at least 18 who hold a valid Argentine DNI. Applicants must also provide an email address, telephone number, selfie, and personal details for identity verification. The product page states that a payslip or proof of income is not required for the basic savings account, but opening remains subject to the bank’s identity and document verification and the contract terms in effect at the time. The page does not clearly state whether non-residents holding an Argentine DNI can open an account, or confirm that this online channel is available to people who have only a foreign passport and no Argentine DNI. The bank must confirm in writing the specific process for residents and non-residents, tax-residency declarations, and any exceptions.

Personal information publicly disclosed or identified

  • Banco Macro’s basic online Caja de Ahorro page publicly lists the following requirements for identity verification: a valid Argentine DNI, email address, contact telephone number, selfie, and personal details. The product page explicitly states that a basic savings account does not require a payslip or proof of income.
  • The bank’s general Cuenta Corriente information also lists a copy of the DNI, proof of address, proof of income, and signing the bank’s accession agreement, and says the bank will assess ability to pay and source of income. This is information about a general current account and should not be treated as a complete and final list for a basic savings account or every type of customer.
  • General preparation suggestions (not Banco Macro's published non-resident policy): If enquiring with the bank about a cross-border case, prepare a passport/Argentine DNI (if available), residential address and tax residence information. Whether the bank accepts these, and whether certified translations or additional materials are required, remains to be confirmed.

Company eligibility and documents

Company: Banco Macro publicly offers business accounts, bank cards, and related business services, but the accessible business account-opening page does not fully disclose eligible company types, eligibility for foreign-registered businesses, eligibility of non-resident shareholders/controllers, or detailed approval conditions. Neither local Argentine companies nor foreign companies should infer approval to open an account solely from the fact that business accounts are offered; the bank should confirm each case, including the place of company formation, business activities, signatory authority, beneficial owners, and source-of-funds verification.

Company information publicly disclosed or identified

  • Banco Macro’s business page confirms that it offers business accounts and cards, but does not provide a verifiable, complete list of documents for new account opening or confirm whether foreign companies may apply.
  • General preparation suggestions (not Banco Macro's policy or a confirmed checklist): Company registration and existence documents, Articles of Association/formation documents, tax identification information, proof of registered address, identity documents and authorization documents for the legal representative and authorized signatories, ownership and ultimate beneficial owner structure, description of the business/intended account use, and explanation of the source of funds. Argentina's UIF rules require financial institutions to conduct customer due diligence based on risk; the bank's actual requirements for formats, thresholds, supporting documents, certification or translation should be confirmed separately in writing.
  • For foreign companies, the following is general preparatory guidance, not a commitment by the bank: first confirm whether the bank accepts companies incorporated in the relevant jurisdiction and whether an Argentine tax identification number, local representative, additional evidence, apostille/consular legalization, or Spanish translations are required.

Address, tax, and remote / witnessed procedures

Address and tax

The publicly stated online requirement for the personal basic savings account is a valid Argentine DNI; proof of address is not listed on the page as an online application document for this product. Banco Macro's general checking-account information lists proof of address, but this cannot automatically be applied to the basic savings account. Argentina's ARCA states that individuals residing abroad who apply for a CUIT for banking or similar procedures should do so through a representative domiciled in Argentina or an authorized third party; the Argentine government also states that individuals without a CUIT or CUIL who need to open an account or access the financial system may apply for a CDI, and that non-residents must submit a passport or identity document from their country of origin as appropriate. These are tax identification procedures and do not mean Banco Macro accepts non-residents for account opening. The bank has not fully published its specific requirements for company CUIT, registered address, or foreign tax-resident self-certification; these must be confirmed based on the company and applicant.

Remote / witnessing

The personal basic savings account is publicly available for online application by mobile phone, with identity verification by selfie; this process is not third-party witnessing or notarization and does not establish that non-residents of any country can open accounts remotely. The business page publicly describes business services and accounts, but the accessible content does not explain the full remote account-opening process or arrangements for verifying overseas signatories or witnesses; whether an in-person visit to an Argentine branch is required, or what forms of electronic signature or authentication documents are accepted, must be confirmed in writing with the bank.

Public process reference

  1. Personal basic savings account: start the application through Banco Macro's published mobile channel; the page requires applicants to be at least 18 years old, have a valid Argentine DNI, email address, and phone number, and complete personal information and submit a selfie for identity verification.
  2. After verifying the application information, the bank confirms account opening by email; once completed, the account can be operated through the App Macro. This process and verification results are subject to the bank's terms at the time.
  3. The page says the digital debit card can be used in the app after about 15 minutes, while delivery of the physical card to the application address takes about 7 to 10 business days; these are arrangements stated on the page, not guaranteed account approval or delivery timeframes.
  4. Businesses: The public business pages show business accounts and services, but do not provide complete, readable information on account-opening documents, eligible business types, or procedures for overseas applicants. Confirm the application channel, documents, signing/identity verification method, and approval stages with a business specialist or through official bank channels.

Compliance topics, details, and sources

Argentina AML/KYC

Argentina UIF Resolution No. 14/2023, as amended by Resolution No. 199/2024, requires regulated financial institutions to establish a risk-based system for identifying and mitigating money-laundering, terrorist-financing and proliferation-financing risks. Customer risk factors listed in the rules include customer background, activity, transactions, purpose of the relationship, residence/nationality, income or assets, and PEP status. These are general Argentine regulatory obligations, not Banco Macro’s complete document checklist for a particular applicant.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Beneficial owner, company control structure and source of funds

Argentina UIF rules define customers to include domestic or foreign individuals, legal entities and legal arrangements, and require due diligence proportionate to the risk level. The rules require assessment of risk factors such as income/assets, business activity and the purpose of the relationship. Businesses and complex ownership structures may therefore need to explain the ultimate natural persons exercising control, the purpose of the account and the source of funds. Banco Macro’s public policies do not specify the applicable thresholds or forms of evidence; the bank’s case-specific requirements apply.

Tax Residency Status and CRS Reporting

Argentina’s ARCA implements CRS/FATCA information-reporting frameworks for reporting financial institutions; official implementation guidance explains that financial institutions have corresponding due-diligence and reporting obligations. Whether an account is reportable must be determined under applicable criteria and the customer’s tax-residency status. Banco Macro’s specific tax self-certification forms, required TIN and reporting procedures are not described on the product pages reviewed.

FATCA and U.S. tax status

ARCA states that the Argentina–US FATCA agreement entered into force on 2023-1-1, covering the mechanism for financial institutions to report information on specific accounts. FATCA and CRS are separate regimes; this must not be used to say that the US has joined CRS. The bank should confirm US tax-status declarations or documentation requirements under applicable FATCA rules; its specific forms have not been verified as publicly available.

Terrorist-financing lists and asset freezes in Argentina

Argentina Decree No. 918/2012, including subsequent amendments, requires obligated entities to check relevant United Nations Security Council designations and designations by national competent authorities, and to freeze and report relevant assets when legally required. This is a jurisdictional requirement; Banco Macro’s public list-screening process, providers or additional sanctions policies have not been verified in this review, and no inference is made about its specific treatment of any nationality or place of residence.

Account Opening Compliance Information

Account Opening Compliance and Document Preparation Guide

This page lists separately the requirements published by the bank, local regulations, and document preparation suggestions. Acceptance and specific requirements are subject to confirmation by the bank.

This guide is primarily for Argentine or foreign companies intending to apply for a business account with Banco Macro S.A., as well as their representatives, authorized signatories, and ultimate controlling individuals. The bank’s public information on business online banking concerns only online services available after a business relationship has been established; it does not confirm eligibility for foreign companies, nonresident controllers, or remote account opening. Public eligibility for basic personal savings accounts should not be applied to business applications.

Date information checked:2026-10-26

Document Preparation Checklist

Company identity, continued existence, and authorization chain

Who it applies to
The prospective account-opening legal entity and its representatives and signatories; eligibility for foreign companies has not been confirmed.
Documents to Prepare
  • Prepare the company’s registration/incorporation and good-standing documents, articles and latest amendments, registration number and date, tax ID (Argentinian CUIT/CDI/CIE or equivalent number in the place of registration, if applicable), registered address, and information about its main business activities.
  • Prepare proof of identity for the directors/governing body, legal representative and authorized signatories, together with appointment resolutions, powers of attorney or signing-authority documents that provide a clear chain of evidence of representative authority.
  • It is advisable to prepare clear scans and retain the originals. Requirements for certification, apostille/consular legalization, Spanish translations, and document validity periods are not fully disclosed on the bank pages reviewed and should be confirmed first.
Description
The above legal-entity identification items correspond to the minimum identification information required under Argentine financial institution due diligence rules; they are not a line-by-line account-opening checklist published by Banco Macro. Personal identification listed in UIF rules may include an Argentine DNI or foreign passport, but this does not mean the bank accepts any non-resident or foreign company.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Ownership, ultimate beneficial owners, and control relationships

Who it applies to
All company applicants, especially those with complex, multilayer, or dispersed ownership structures.
Documents to Prepare
  • Prepare a shareholding chart tracing each level, listing direct and indirect holders, percentages, and places of registration, and linking the ultimate natural persons to the entities at each level.
  • Prepare a shareholder register, company registration extract, documents relating to shareholding/trust or similar arrangements, and materials explaining voting rights, appointment/removal rights or other means of actual control.
  • Prepare a separate page explaining the ultimate controller not evident from ownership percentages alone, the basis of control, and the date of any structural changes. This is a preparation suggestion to facilitate verification, not a fixed form published by the bank.
Description
UIF rules require financial institutions to identify, verify and understand ultimate beneficial owners on an ongoing basis, and specify identification information for corporate governing bodies, representatives and ultimate beneficial owners. The materials reviewed did not establish a fixed shareholding threshold applicable to this application or confirm whether Macro has its own controller form; common percentages used in other countries should not be applied directly.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Business substance, supporting evidence for source of funds and wealth

Who it applies to
The prospective account-opening company and relevant individuals who need to explain the source of the account funds; this is a suggestion for risk-review preparation.
Documents to Prepare
  • Prepare a business overview, main customers/suppliers and regions of operation, account purpose, expected monthly payment and receipt volume, main currencies, domestic and international transfer directions, and cash usage.
  • For the actual business, consider preparing recent years’ financial statements, tax returns or audit documents, as well as contracts, invoices, orders, payroll, or trade settlement documents to explain the commercial background of major deposits and expenses.
  • If the initial funds come from shareholder contributions, asset sales, dividends, loans, or intercompany transactions, it is advisable to include an explanation of the source of funds and relevant resolutions, agreements, bank statements, or transaction records.
Description
These are supporting materials suggested to help explain account purpose and transaction patterns, not a list of documents Banco Macro has published as mandatory; the bank may make additional inquiries based on the customer’s risk, product, and transaction circumstances.

Due diligence and enhanced verification

Ultimate beneficial owners, actual control, and corporate authorisation

Basis for Verification
Argentina UIF Resolution No. 14/2023, as amended, requires financial institutions to conduct due diligence on corporate customers and to continually identify, verify and understand beneficial owners. Corporate identification information also includes registration details, tax identification number (where applicable), address, principal business, governing body and representatives. This does not constitute a public commitment by Banco Macro regarding document formats or acceptance of foreign companies.
Preparation recommendation
Submit a complete ownership chart tracing each tier and an explanation of control, with each item matched to registration documents, director/representative appointments, and proof of authorized signatories. The applicable local threshold, control test, and documentary format required by the bank could not be confirmed from the public information reviewed; ask the bank to explain these in writing when arranging an appointment.
Scope
Argentine financial-institution regulatory requirements; thresholds and the bank’s case-specific checklist have not been publicly verified.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

PEPs, sanctions lists and related individuals

Basis for Verification
UIF rules require customers to make a PEP declaration when establishing a relationship and when their PEP status changes, and to report relevant identity information about ultimate beneficial owners. Banks must take reasonable steps to verify the information, retain evidence and apply proportionate due diligence based on risk. Financial institutions must also check relevant RePET lists before the relationship begins and monitor them continuously. PEP status does not mean automatic refusal or that the person is sanctioned.
Preparation recommendation
It is advisable for the company and relevant ultimate natural persons to review in advance any public office/public function, related relationships and dates of appointment. If a person is a PEP, prepare information on the position, source of income and whether funds are related or unrelated to public office. Also check names, aliases and birth information to help resolve name matches; the bank's specific forms and processing procedure remain to be confirmed.
Scope
Argentina UIF Resolution No. 35/2023 (as amended) and Resolution No. 14/2023 set out regulatory requirements; they are not a bank’s commitment to accept or reject an individual case.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado；UIF — Resolución 35/2023, texto actualizado

Source of Funds, Source of Wealth, and Transaction Profile

Basis for Verification
UIF rules require banks to understand the purpose of business relationships, conduct ongoing risk-based due diligence and monitor whether transactions are consistent with the customer, business activities and risk level known to them. Banks may request verification of submitted information. The rules govern banks’ due diligence responsibilities but do not disclose Banco Macro’s amount thresholds or fixed supporting-document checklist for this applicant.
Preparation recommendation
It is advisable to align the account-opening purpose, expected payments, key countries/regions, and currencies with the contracts, invoices, statements, and source-of-funds evidence described above. For unusually large amounts, third-party collections/payments, group funds, or complex trade routes, prepare a concise transaction flow chart and examples in advance.
Scope
Local regulations plus general preparation advice; no inference is made about the bank’s internal risk appetite, limits, or approval decision.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Cross-Border Tax Residency and Tax Identification Numbers

Basis for Verification
ARCA's official implementation guidance explains that Argentine financial institutions are subject to CRS and the Argentina–US FATCA information regime, and explicitly states that the definitions under the two systems are not interchangeable in all cases. This guidance does not establish that foreign companies can open accounts and does not disclose Banco Macro's tax-residency self-certification forms or tax identification number requirements.
Preparation recommendation
As a preparation suggestion, organize the tax residence jurisdictions and corresponding TINs/tax identification numbers for the shareholders and relevant account holders. If a jurisdiction does not issue a tax identification number, prepare an explanation. At the time of booking, confirm which entities or controllers must complete self-certification, whether an Argentine tax identification number is required, and how to make corrections or provide missing information.
Scope
Local tax information-reporting framework plus general preparation advice; this is not confirmation of account-opening eligibility or tax advice.

Ongoing Compliance Requirements After Account Opening

Ongoing due diligence and changes to information

UIF rules require banks to conduct ongoing due diligence and keep customer files up to date. Companies should promptly notify the bank of changes to ownership or control, directors, authorised signatories, address, business or tax residency status, and have supporting documents ready. Regulations do not set a uniform periodic update cycle for customers, and Macro’s case-specific process is not publicly disclosed.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado；ARCA — Guía para la implementación, Información financiera CRS/FATCA

Transaction monitoring and responding to inquiries

The bank must monitor transactions based on risk and analyze unusual activity. Companies should retain contracts, invoices, logistics/settlement records, and evidence of the source of funds, ensuring that account use is consistent with actual transactions; provide a traceable explanation if the bank asks. Regulatory requirements for banks to retain relevant due-diligence and transaction records for at least ten years should not be misread as a published fixed frequency for customer uploads or reviews by this bank.

Source:UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

Business online banking access, authorization, and security credentials

Banco Macro states that, after completing the online-banking service procedures, a business should designate an administrator. A business representative signs the forms and submits them to the account-holding branch; the administrator manages operators and permissions, while transfer signatories use a security Token. Businesses should review permissions when personnel or authorizations change and keep credentials secure. This is online-banking guidance and does not replace other contractual obligations after account opening.

Source:Banco Macro — Banca Internet Empresas

Please confirm with the bank before booking

  1. Which company jurisdictions of incorporation and legal forms does Banco Macro currently accept? May foreign legal entities, non-resident shareholders/ultimate controlling persons, or overseas signatories apply, and is a local representative in Argentina required?
  2. What beneficial ownership threshold and actual-control test does your bank apply? If no single owner meets the threshold, must other controllers or members of management be reported?
  3. Please provide the document checklist for the legal entity, authorised persons, and ultimate beneficial owners in this application category, and confirm requirements for originals/certified copies, apostilles or consular legalisation, Spanish translations, and document validity periods.
  4. Which CUIT/CDI/CIE or foreign TIN, tax residency self-certifications, PEP and source-of-funds information are required for the company and its controllers? Does the bank provide the relevant forms?
  5. Can the application and signing be completed remotely, and who must attend in person or undergo video verification? What are the account-opening approval steps, fees/minimum balance, processing time, and communication process if additional documents are requested?
  6. After the account is activated, how are authorizations for administrators, operators and transfer signatories arranged or updated? Must a separate online banking form be submitted and a Token activated?

Not confirmed by public information

  • Banco Macro’s publicly available business online-banking guidance covers only digital-service procedures after a business relationship has been established; eligible foreign company types, non-resident controlling persons, and complete account-opening materials have not been publicly confirmed.
  • The public materials reviewed for this research do not confirm the bank’s fixed beneficial-owner ownership threshold, actual-control determination form, or alternative reporting requirements when no natural person meets the threshold.
  • Confirm with the bank whether account-opening documents require notarization/certification, an apostille or consular legalization, Spanish translation, originals, or must meet validity-period requirements.
  • The pages consulted do not fully disclose business account fees, minimum balance, approval times, remote verification or specific eligibility/limits for cross-border transfers. Do not infer that remote account opening is available or that any internal limits apply.
  • Banco Macro’s CRS/FATCA self-certification, the persons from whom it collects TINs, and its update process have not been publicly verified. ARCA system guidance cannot substitute for bank forms or case-specific tax advice.

Sources & Scope of Verification

  1. Banco Macro — Banca Internet Empresas

    The bank’s original business online banking instructions: after completing the business online banking enrolment process, download the form, appoint an administrator, have it signed by a company representative and submit it to the account-holding branch. The instructions also describe separation of administrator/operator permissions and transfer Token arrangements. This page describes a post-account-opening channel and is not a complete list of documents for opening a new business account.

  2. UIF — Resolución 14/2023, texto actualizado

    Local rules on risk-based due diligence by financial institutions, identification of legal entities and individuals, ongoing identification and verification of ultimate beneficial owners, purpose of the relationship, ongoing monitoring, file updates, RePET checks, and record retention. The texts reviewed were not used to infer Banco Macro-specific document formats or an unverified fixed ownership threshold.

  3. UIF — Resolución 35/2023, texto actualizado

    Submit a PEP declaration when establishing a relationship and when status changes; assess the PEP status of ultimate beneficial owners; conduct reasonable verification, proportionate due diligence based on risk and transaction profiles, and ongoing monitoring.

  4. ARCA — Guía para la implementación, Información financiera CRS/FATCA

    Argentina’s CRS framework for reporting financial institutions and the Argentina–United States FATCA due-diligence/reporting framework, with an explanation that the terminology is not interchangeable in all circumstances; does not describe Banco Macro’s specific self-certification forms or account eligibility.

Fees and timelines

Banco Macro’s personal online Caja de Ahorro page states that, for savings accounts applied for online from 2026-01-01 to 12-31, account-opening and maintenance fees are waived at 100% under the stated promotional terms. This is a personal-product promotion with a specified validity period; it does not represent the rates for business accounts or periods outside the promotion. The page also states that account opening takes about 5 minutes, a digital debit card is available in about 15 minutes, and a physical card is delivered in about 7 to 10 business days. These are descriptions on the page, not promises of approval. The materials reviewed did not confirm minimum deposits, fees, limits, or processing times for non-resident or business accounts, so these cannot be estimated on that basis.

Limitations and practical considerations

  • The publicly available eligibility requirements for the online basic savings account expressly require a valid Argentine DNI and applicants to be at least 18 years old; the page does not confirm whether applicants holding only foreign passports can open an account, nor does it explain acceptance rules for non-residents who hold an Argentine DNI.
  • Business account products are publicly offered, but eligibility for companies incorporated abroad, non-resident controllers/signatories, account-opening documents and remote verification has not been confirmed.
  • Applications must pass the bank's identity and information verification, and account opening is ultimately subject to the contract terms and bank approval conditions in force at the time. Do not interpret an account product page as unconditional acceptance.
  • Eligibility to obtain an official individual tax number, CUIT or CDI, does not establish eligibility to open a bank account. Confirm account access, tax-status documents and intended account use separately.
  • This record compiles publicly available information only. It does not represent a channel currently available for appointments through Rengangyongsheng, a business relationship, or a commitment by the bank to accept applications.

Licensing evidence and regulatory verification

The entity register entry has been cross-checked: the BCRA System Financial Register API gives the latest publication date as 2026 year 7 month, and the list of financial entities in the system includes bank code 285 and the legal name “BANCO MACRO S.A.” This confirms its entity record in the BCRA financial system register. The register response does not include a specific licence number or the full scope of authorised activities, so this record does not extend to unlisted licences, products, or cross-border services.

  1. BCRA — Nómina de Entidades del Sistema Financiero, official API

    The BCRA financial institutions register API response publishes the date of the latest data as 2026-7 and lists BANCO MACRO S.A., code 285; this can be used to check the legal entity record in Argentina’s regulatory register, but does not by itself prove any unstated scope of authorization or product eligibility.

  2. Banco Macro — Caja de ahorro: Hacete cliente

    Requirements for a personal basic savings account: DNI, age, email/phone, selfie, and information verification; public statement that no payslip or proof of income is required; personal online application, account-opening confirmation, timing of digital and physical cards, and the validity period of the 2026-year offer.

  3. Banco Macro — Empresas / Hacete cliente

    The bank offers accounts, bank cards, and business services to companies. The accessible page does not provide complete account-opening documents, entity eligibility, or policies for foreign companies, so it supports only the existence of business services and the disclosure gap.

  4. Banco Macro — ¿Qué es una cuenta corriente?

    Banco Macro’s general current-account information lists a DNI, proof of address, proof of income, and an accession agreement, and states that the bank assesses ability to pay and sources of income; this is not a mandatory or exhaustive list for all products.

  5. ARCA — CUIT y CDI: residentes en el exterior

    For individuals residing abroad who apply for an Argentine CUIT for procedures such as banking, applications are made through a representative domiciled in Argentina or an authorized third party; this covers the application documents for that procedure and does not establish that a bank must accept an account application.

  6. Argentina.gob.ar — Obtener la Clave de Identificación CDI

    Individuals without a CUIT or CUIL who need to open an account or access the financial system may apply for a CDI, with identity documents specified according to resident/non-resident status. This tax identification process does not equate to bank eligibility.
