“Communication “A” 7825 on user funds did not have any type of consultation with the Fintech sector. Since our foundation, we maintain -and we will continue to maintain that the best way to build regulatory frameworks is through public-private collaboration”, they explained from the Argentine Fintech Chamber, adding that “in other areas of dialogue with the Central Bank it has become clear that all the actors of the financial system can work together in order to offer more and better services to Argentines”.
