The bodies representing the banks have come out to announce that the branches will remain open tomorrow despite the strike.
“ABA, ABAPPRA, ABE and ADEBA inform that their member institutions will provide services to their customers on January 24,” they said in a joint statement.
ABA represents banks of foreign origin, ADEBA represents those with private capital, ABAPPRA represents public and cooperative banks and ABE represents specialized banks. For its part, the Banking Association, the sector’s union, confirmed that its members will join the protest measure organized by the CGT against the policy carried out by Javier Milei.
“Given the suspension of activities to which the Banking Association will adhere, Financial institutions will intensify their efforts to minimize disruption that this measure of strength can generate for users of the financial system,” the text claims.
In this context, banks suggest their customers to carry out, as far as possible, the procedures personally at the branches during the morning or to use the various remote assistance channels that will be regularly available.
The statement highlights that the use of debit and credit cards, as well as electronic channels such as home banking, banking applications and e-wallets “They will function normally so as not to affect business and payment transactions.”
Furthermore, “the availability of ATMs and service terminals will be guaranteed to ensure the normal functioning of financial operations”.
