History and Development

BBVA Banco Francés traces its origins to 1886, when Banco Francés del Río de la Plata was established in Buenos Aires. In its early years, the bank focused on trade finance and supporting economic activity in Argentina, gradually expanding its client base and product offerings.

Throughout the 20th century, the institution grew through the expansion of its branch network and the diversification of financial services, aligning with the development of the Argentine banking system.

A major milestone occurred in 1996, when BBVA Group acquired a controlling stake, integrating the bank into its global platform and strengthening its technological and operational capabilities. Following this integration, the bank expanded its services, modernized its infrastructure and increased its participation in both retail and corporate banking segments.

In recent years, the company has operated in a challenging macroeconomic environment, adapting to inflationary pressures, currency volatility and regulatory changes.
