In compliance with Board Resolution 130/2014, which approves the "Regulation for the direct sale of securities to natural persons through electronic means," the BCB will commence its direct securities sales operations remotely through a web-based sales system provided by the BCB. This operation will allow natural persons to settle purchases of BCB securities via electronic transfers (ACH).

To this end, the BCB became a participant in the Electronic Clearing House starting in December of the current year. In this context, participants in this Clearing House are reminded that they must accept transfer orders in favor of the BCB made by natural persons through electronic banking or on the platform at any agency or branch of their entities nationwide.
