Overview
- The Association Bancaria confirmed on Monday that the August inflation rate of 1.7% triggered a matching 1.7% pay rise that applies to all remunerative and non‑remunerative items.
- The agreed scale sets the entry salary at ARS 2,505,061.24 and adds a ROE (profit‑sharing) payment of ARS 72,413.50, bringing the reported basic to ARS 2,577,474.74.
- Bank salaries have accumulated a 21.3% increase in the first eight months of 2026 versus December 2025, and the Day of the Banker bonus for the first category is reported at a minimum ARS 2,233,175.44 pending final adjustment in November.
- The rise was applied under a negotiated update mechanism between the union, ABAPPRA, ADEBA, ABA and the Central Bank that allows adjustments to take effect without formal homologation by the labour authorities.
- The paritaria is scheduled to meet again in the second half of September to set further increases and the exact November bonus, a process that will affect take‑home pay for workers and payroll costs for banks.
