The BCRA authorizes use of digital DNI as a way of proving identity to banks

Friday, December 27, 2019

This digital identity document will be valid to operate in all branches. The use of mobile phones will be allowed for identification purposes.

The BCRA has issued Communication A 6853 to let users of financial services prove their identity to a bank by producing their national identity document (DNI) downloaded to their mobile phones.

Banks will only allow the use of mobile phones for identification and for a member of its staff to promote, install or give information about mobile banking or payment apps.

The Argentine Ministry of the Interior has developed a free app which enables people to keep their DNI on their phones, serving for identification as if it were the physical document.
