History and foundation

In its early years of operation, the main challenges were associated with consolidating its activities in an unstable macroeconomic environment, marked by inflationary cycles and regulatory changes within the Argentine banking system.

Historical milestones include corporate restructuring in the 1990s, the completion of an initial public offering (IPO) in the early 2000s, and the listing of its ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange, broadening access to international capital markets.

Between 2020 and 2024, relevant developments involved adjustments to Argentina’s macroeconomic conditions, investments in digitalization, operational adaptations in response to inflation and monetary policy, and fluctuations in share performance influenced by the country’s economic and financial environment.
