Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Legal Contingency: A class action titled "Protegiendo al Consumidor (P.A.C.) c/ BBVA Banco Frances S.A. s/ Repetición de Sumas de Dinero" (File 27.694/2025) has been filed in the Civil and Commercial Court No. 14 of Mar del Plata.
- Claim Details: The plaintiff seeks a declaration of unconstitutionality regarding Section 20 of Decree 70/2023, which modified interest rate limits on credit cards. The suit requests reimbursement of amounts collected in excess from users in the Province of Buenos Aires, plus interest and costs.
- Financial Impact Assessment: The bank states it is materially impossible to determine the economic importance of the claim at this time as the amount is indeterminate.
- Management Commentary: BBVA Argentina is analyzing the lawsuit and defining its course of action. Management asserts that even in the hypothetical case of an adverse decision, the outcome will not have a significant impact on the bank's assets or activities.
