La CNV regula sobre la operatoria de cheques en el ámbito del mercado de capitales

Por medio de la Resolución General N° 1141/2026 (la “Resolución”), vigente desde el 23 de mayo de 2026, la Comisión Nacional de Valores (la “CNV”) introdujo modificaciones al Título XI de las Normas (N.T. 2013 y mod.) relativas al régimen de prevención del lavado de activos, financiación del terrorismo y financiación de la proliferación de armas de destrucción masiva (“PLA/FT/FP”) a fin de regular la operatoria de cheques en el ambito del mercado de capitales.

La Resolución complementa los cambios introducidos recientemente por la Resolución General N° 1139/2026, mediante la cual la CNV modificó las modalidades de recepción y entrega de fondos por parte de los sujetos obligados registrados, eliminando la posibilidad de utilizar efectivo e incorporando el uso de cheques electrónicos.

En particular, la CNV prevé que la incorporación de los cheques electrónicos no altera las limitaciones operativas previamente existentes respecto de la utilización de cheques por parte de los sujetos obligados. En ese sentido, la Resolución mantiene el límite máximo de dos pagos por día y por cliente, aplicable tanto a cheques físicos como electrónicos.

Asimismo, la Resolución establece expresamente que, cuando los pagos o cobros se realicen mediante cheques electrónicos, no resultarán aplicables las restricciones vinculadas con la cantidad de endosos, debiendo garantizarse en todos los casos la trazabilidad del instrumento.

De esta manera, la CNV procura evitar interpretaciones que pudieran desvirtuar los objetivos de control y trazabilidad perseguidos por el régimen de PLA/FT/FP, manteniendo límites prudenciales sobre los pagos mediante cheques y adecuando la normativa a las herramientas de pago actualmente disponibles en el sistema financiero.

CNV regulates check transactions in the capital markets

By means of Resolution No. 1141/2026 (the “Resolution”), effective as of May 23, 2026, the National Securities Commission (the “CNV”) introduced amendments to Title XI of the CNV Regulations (N.T. 2013 and amendments) regarding the regime for the prevention of money laundering, terrorism financing, and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (“AML/TF/FP”) in order to regulate check transactions within the capital markets.

The Resolution complements the changes recently introduced by General Resolution No. 1139/2026, through which the CNV modified the methods for receiving and delivering funds by regulated entities registered with the agency, eliminating the possibility of using cash and incorporating the use of electronic checks.

In particular, the CNV provides that the incorporation of electronic checks does not alter the previously existing operational limitations regarding the use of checks by regulated entities. In this regard, the Resolution maintains the maximum limit of two payments per day and per client, applicable to both physical and electronic checks.

Likewise, the Resolution expressly establishes that, when payments or collections are made via electronic checks, the restrictions related to the number of endorsements shall not apply, provided that the traceability of the instrument is guaranteed in all cases.

In this way, the CNV seeks to prevent interpretations that could undermine the control and traceability objectives pursued by the AML/TF/FP regime, by maintaining prudential limits on payments made by check and adapting the regulations to the payment tools currently available in the financial system.
