1.1. Definition
The Electronic Payment Medium (MEP) or MEP System allows fund transfers between participants throughout a determined operational cycle, using the accounts they have open at the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA). It is a real-time gross settlement (RTGS) system, through which the settlement of payment instruments of financial intermediation between entities is carried out, which may act on their own behalf or on behalf of third parties. Likewise, it is the only channel for the settlement of balances arising from the electronic clearing of funds as a result of the interrelation between entities and electronic clearing houses (CEC).
1.2. Objectives
1.2.1. Establish an information exchange system between the BCRA and participating entities based on the transfer of messages and transactions between computers through a modern, efficient and reliable platform within a security framework.
1.2.2. Optimize the economic flow between entities and contribute to the control of movements recorded in their accounts.
1.2.3. Reduce costs within the financial system.
1.2.4. Contribute to the consolidation and development of the national payments system.
1.2.5. Enhance the possibility of integration with other systems by improving their operational, security and reliability characteristics.
1.3. Participants
Participating entities are financial entities, electronic clearing houses, exchange houses and agencies, as well as agencies and other bodies whose participation is expressly authorized by the BCRA and in order to operate in the financial system with accounts open in their name at the BCRA, also complying with the formal and technical requirements requested to operate in the MEP. The list of adhered and enabled entities to operate through the MEP is found in Section 8. Likewise, the numbers of their operational accounts at the BCRA are disseminated by the BCRA's Current Accounts Management through B communications. These accounts are grouped into current and special accounts in pesos, and in demand accounts in US dollars, euros and other foreign currencies authorized by the BCRA. B.C.R.A.

Such modifications will be brought to the knowledge of system participants through usual communication channels (communications, bulletins, messaging channel, etc.).
1.5. MEP Administration
The administration of the MEP System corresponds to the Sub-Management of Payment Means Administration, while account management and signature registration are in charge of the Current Accounts Sub-Management; both sub-managements depend on the Current Accounts Management. Participants may communicate with the operational administration of the MEP System through the email addresses mep@bcra.gob.ar and/or gestiondeoperatorias@bcra.gob.ar. Likewise, queries related to current accounts must be sent to the email address ctas.ctes@bcra.gob.ar.
1.6. Requests and procedures
1.6.1. Contingency requests regarding connectivity with the BCRA must be submitted in accordance with what is provided in points 5.1.1. and 5.1.2.

Without prejudice to what is required in Communications B 11584 and B 12898, the Sub-Management of Payment Means Administration, within the general contingency strategy for the MEP system and as an alternative in the event that the links are not active for sending operations through the API developed by MEP participating entities, will facilitate a point of access to the mentioned system, at BCRA facilities, subject to availability and with the character of last resort.

When it concerns exchange operators who do not have access to IDEAR, they must send the request from the email address reported to the Registry of Exchange Operators to the email address of the Current Accounts Management: ctas.ctes@bcra.gob.ar. Requests must be made by note signed with a digital signature established in Law 25.506 in PDF format. MEP participating entities that use the GDE system and whose signatories are enabled in the Authorized Signatures Registry provided for in Section 1. of the ordered text on Authorized Signatures before the BCRA may submit requests through said system using the signature generated there. Only exceptionally, in the event of unavailability of computer or communication systems, requests on paper may be accepted, with handwritten signature.
