I – GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Financial entities and payment service providers offering payment accounts (PSPCP) must submit the requirement monthly, with its due date falling on the 22nd of the month following the submission (or the next business day immediately thereafter). For PSPCP, this obligation applies from the start-of-operations date reported in the Payment Service Providers Registry application. The requested data will be reported in an aggregated manner and must correspond to immediate transfers where the source account and the destination account are held at the same reporting entity or payment service provider. Amounts will be recorded in thousands without decimals. For rounding purposes, values will be incremented by one unit when the first digit of the fractions is equal to or greater than 5, discarding the latter if they are lower. Amounts corresponding to foreign currency operations must be expressed in United States dollars. Foreign currencies other than the US dollar will be previously converted to this currency using the exchange rates communicated by the Trading Desk of the Bank of the Argentine Republic. The information will be submitted in accordance with the regulations on "Submission of Information to the Bank of the Argentine Republic". B.C.R.A.
