Alias CBU
What is an alias CBU?
The alias CBU is an alphanumeric code created by the BCRA and linked to a CBU, which streamlines transfers and other fund movements within the banking system. Both the CBU and the alias CBU have the same function, but the latter is a combination of letters and numbers between 6 and 20 characters.
The alias CBU is:
- – a single code for each account,
- – unrepeatable across the whole financial system in Argentina,
- – portable, which means that a bank consumer may detach an alias from one of its accounts and link it to another one.
Like the CBU, you can check your alias CBU through online banking, at an ATM, or in person at your bank branch.
