Digitalization of the Registry of Reporting Entities

The Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) issued Resolution 37/2026, published in the Official Gazette on April 14, 2026, whereby it introduces amendments to UIF Resolution 50/2011, which regulates the registration and reporting system applicable to reporting entities in matters related to the prevention of money laundering, terrorist financing, and proliferation of mass weapons financing (AML/CFT/CPF). The aim of the Resolution is not only to introduce procedural adjustments but also to strengthen formal compliance standards, particularly with respect to the integrity, accuracy, and traceability of registry information.

In line with this, the Resolution further advances the digitalization of the registration process before the UIF, thus consolidating the Report System (SRO+)—or any system that replaces it in the future—as the channel for submitting supporting documentation.

Within this framework, reporting entities must submit, at the time of registration, all required documentation in digital format. This documentation will be subject to the UIF’ review and validation. The Resolution formalizes a fully digital observations and remediation process: if the UIF issues requests for additional information or corrections, reporting entities will have 15 administrative business days to comply. If they do not comply, they will be automatically blocked off the registration in the SRO+, and may also face the sanctions in Law 25246.

Additionally, the Resolution reinforces the obligation to keep registry information up to date, especially regarding any changes to essential data—such as domicile, telephone number, or email address—, which must be reported within five business days as of the day they occurred. Reporting entities will also have five days to notify appointments, replacements, or absences of the Compliance Officer. Further, the UIF’s Supervisory Directorate is empowered to request, at any time, that entities already registered update certain documentation.  For this, the UIF will established the deadlines on a case-by-case basis.

Resolution 37/2026 forms part of the broader modernization process of the AML/CFT/CPF system, which has a focus on the digitalization of processes and the enhancement of the UIF’s supervisory capabilities.
