Business accounts: Argentina

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a foreign company open a bank account in Argentina?
Directly, rarely. The normal route is to set up a local entity (SA or SRL) or a branch and open the account in its name. A foreign company has to be registered locally and appoint a local representative, and without an Argentine tax number (CUIT) no account will be opened.
What does a company need to open an account in Argentina?
A CUIT, incorporation documents and registration, proof of legal address, details of beneficial owners and signatories, plus financials or a business plan. Signatories normally attend the branch in person. Banks often ask about the origin of working capital and the profile of your counterparties.
Are there currency controls in Argentina?
Argentina has a long history of changing FX rules, including limits on buying foreign currency and moving money abroad. The regime has shifted repeatedly in recent years, so check what is in force before you open anything. Do not plan cross-border payments on the basis of last year's rules.
How long does it take to open a business account in Argentina?
The bank is rarely the bottleneck - incorporating and getting a CUIT takes weeks. Once the file is complete the account itself moves faster, though timing varies by bank and branch. Legalising foreign documents with apostille and translation adds more time.
