The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) issues Circular RUNOR 1-1950 requiring ATM networks to submit monthly operational data through designated variable-length text files (ATMSARGENTINA.TXT, ATMSEXTERIOR.TXT, and CAJEROSNOBANCARIOS.TXT) via the MFT File Transfer Service. The reporting regime takes effect for July 2026 with a submission deadline of August 22, 2026, and mandates strict adherence to predefined record designs, SWIFT country code mappings, and specific validation error codes. Furthermore, the BCRA explicitly prohibits the “OPERA=FALSE” option in the DETALLE.XML file and requires networks with associated financial entities to submit the ATMSEXTERIOR.TXT file.
