This Friday, dollar purchase operations through homebanking
were still suspended
.
On the other hand, transfers in that currency began to be active, which had also been blocked since the tightening of the exchange rate was launched.
Thus, the sale of dollars to the public has already been stopped for eight business days.
The Central Bank indicates that "
automatic validation
" has already been launched
, the system demanded by banks to be able to check whether or not a person is authorized to use the US $ 200 quota. "It is the banks' decision to sell or no, "they said from the entity chaired by Miguel Pesce.
The banks confirm that
the transfers are already available,
while they are testing the system for purchase and sale operations.
"Most likely they are
only
enabled
on Monday
."
The first step to rehabilitate operations was to initiate transfers between accounts in dollars.
Yesterday afternoon, the Central reported in a statement that "all transfers from accounts denominated in foreign currency may be processed without the need for prior validation."
The decision was made by the Board of Directors and informed through communication A7112.
Through this measure, communication A7105 was modified, which established controls over these transfers.
The Central specified that "the openings of savings banks in foreign currency that are carried out for the accreditation of a transfer and the accreditation of funds in accounts already enabled will
not require the validation
established in communication A7105".
Now the enabling of the sale of foreign currency is pending.
The fundamental step for the system to operate again is that banks can automatically check that each person is authorized to buy.
With the new restrictions, those who collect social plans or those who do not have declared income will no longer be able to access the US $ 200 quota.
And there will also be limitations for those who received some kind of help from the State during the quarantine, such as the refinancing of credit card balances in April or the freezing of mortgage loan installments.
To do this check, banks need access to ANSeS information.
After several days of dispute, on Tuesday night it was decided that
ANSeS would share its database with the Central Bank
and thus provide the banks with an automatic query form to streamline operations.
"The bank will check against the BCRA database if the CUIT of the client who wants to buy dollars is allowed or blocked. In that same base the ANSeS information will now be included, with all the people who have a social plan and that they do not have declared data, "they explained from the Central.
"Once the order is made,
the bank will receive the OK or the denial
of the operation but it will not know why. If the client wants to know the reason, they will have to make a presentation, but the ANSeS data is protected", they added.
From the financial sector they point out that "everything is on track, the outlook is much better than a few days ago.
We hope that on Monday we can operate
."
In one of the main public banks they estimated that it is most likely that the operation will resume only on Monday.
"Once the consultation with the Central is enabled, we need 48 to 72 hours to have the systems ready," they indicated.
