Those entities are: Banco Nación, Bank of the Province of Buenos Aires, Bank of Córdoba and Bank of La Pampa.
Other banking entities that pay social security salaries control the Faith of Life through various possibilities as a monthly purchase using the retiree or pensioner’s Debit or Credit Card, with mobile applications and, if the retiree or pensioner wishes, they can also do it in person.
