The BCRA calls financial and foreign exchange institutions to give a holiday leave to their employees on December 24 and 31.
As under Communication P 51020, said institutions may close to the public on those days.
Electronic channels such as online banking, mobile banking, and ATMs will operate as they usually do on public holidays.
Through these channels, users can make several transactions, such as payments by transfer, which are accessible, efficient and safe, avoiding the use of cash.
They can also make payments by transfer by reading any QR code with any electronic wallet or bank app on their phones. Debit and credit cards are other options that can be used to make digital payments.
The BCRA has further adopted all necessary measures to ensure that financial institutions have banknotes available for ATM refilling in order to meet the demand for money during those days.
