On May 22, 2026, Argentina's Ministry of Justice and Human Rights issued General Resolution N° 1141 (RG N° 1141), providing operational clarifications regarding check payment procedures within the capital markets sector. The resolution maintains the existing daily payment limit for obligated subjects registered with the National Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores — CNV) of two checks per client, regardless of check type (physical or electronic). This limit applies to all check-based transactions conducted within capital markets operations. RG N° 1141 builds upon General Resolution N° 1139, which introduced adjustments aligned with anti-money laundering prevention standards applicable to CNV-registered agents. The new resolution incorporates operational clarifications designed to ensure proper traceability of transactions and preserve market transparency and integrity. The Ministry clarified that check deposits intended for capital markets operations remain unrestricted in quantity, and CNV regulations impose no limitations on the number of endorsements permitted for such checks. These measures do not modify existing tax regulations. The clarifications address operational procedures within Argentina's capital markets framework, affecting all entities registered with the CNV that conduct transactions involving check payments. The resolution reinforces compliance with anti-money laundering standards while maintaining operational flexibility for legitimate capital markets activities.
