Information Exchange Between AML/CFT/CPF Supervisors

The Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) issued Resolution 35/2026, published in the Official Gazette on March 31, 2026, which establishes a new framework for information exchange on prevention of money laundering, and financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (AML/CFT/CPF) between domestic and foreign supervisory authorities.

The Resolution governs the information exchange among “specific supervisory authorities”—the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA), the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), the Argentine Superintendence of Insurance (SSN), and the Argentine Institute of Associativism and Social Economy (INAES)—as well as between these authorities and foreign supervisory authorities with equivalent functions, to strengthen institutional cooperation to detect and prevent financial crimes.

Accordingly, the Resolution provides that the exchange of information may be carried out directly between the authorities involved, if it involves information available to the requested authority. Authorities must submit their requests through electronic document management systems that ensure appropriate standards of security and confidentiality. They must also specify the reason for the request, the precise details of the information required, and the level of urgency.

The Resolution reaffirms that the information exchanged will be subject to the confidentiality obligations established in Law 25246, and that it may only be used for the purposes for which it was requested. It also prohibits disclosing information to third parties without the prior authorization of the authority that provided the information.

Finally, the UIF may request information regarding the exchanges carried out between the supervisory authorities and may require statistical data for reporting purposes. The Resolution repeals Resolution UIF 233/2025, which governed these mechanisms.

This measure is part of a process aimed at strengthening Argentina’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework, and aligns with the Recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and with the findings of the 2024 Mutual Evaluation of the Argentine Republic.
