The bank quickly expanded its operations nationwide and became the largest commercial bank in Argentina. Throughout its history, Banco de la Nacion Argentina has played an active role in the country's economic development. It has particularly focused on supporting the rural sector and has contributed to making Argentina a global powerhouse in agribusiness.
