Banco Macro S.A. (Argentina)

Banco Macro S.A. is one of Argentina’s largest domestically-owned private banks, offering a comprehensive suite of financial services to individuals, SMEs, corporations, and government entities. Headquartered in Buenos Aires, the bank was incorporated in 1988 after evolving from its origins as Financiera Macro, a brokerage firm founded in 1976. Banco Macro operates a nationwide network of over 500 branches, with a strong presence in Argentina’s interior provinces, and serves more than 5 million customers. Its core business includes retail banking (personal loans, mortgages, savings and checking accounts), corporate banking (working capital, trade finance, leasing), investment services, insurance, and digital banking. The bank also manages mutual funds and acts as a financial agent in several provinces. Among its most recognized brands and subsidiaries are Macro Bank Limited, Macro Valores, Macro Fondos, and Argenpay, which supports digital payments and wallets. The bank is publicly traded on both the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BCBA) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: BMA). As of 2024, Delfín Jorge Ezequiel Carballo and the Brito family are among the principal shareholders, alongside institutional investors and Argentina’s ANSES (Social Security Administration). Banco Macro has grown significantly through acquisitions, including provincial banks like Banco de Salta, Banco de Misiones, and most recently Banco Itaú Argentina in 2023, reinforcing its leadership in regional markets. Recognized as one of the most valuable brands in Argentina by Brand Finance in 2025, Banco Macro continues to focus on financial inclusion, digital transformation, and sustainable development.
