Overview
- On Tuesday the Asociación Bancaria and employer chambers agreed a 2.1% salary update for May that will be paid with May payroll and lifts the sector's total entry remuneration to $2,437,232.92.
- The new entry figure is made up of a basic salary of $2,368,759.48 plus a profit-sharing (ROE) payment of $68,473.44 that is unique to the banking agreement.
- The 2.1% increase applies to all gross monthly payments, both remunerative and non-remunerative, and covers conventional and non‑conventional additional payments.
- With the May correction bank workers have a cumulative 14.7% gain since December 2025, the same rise reported by INDEC for that period, which means real wages have remained neutral so far this year.
- The deal fixes a temporary minimum Día del Bancario payment at $2,111,667.14 and keeps the paritaria's monthly, CPI-linked review mechanism in place, so future adjustments will track inflation and determine short-term purchasing power.
