Cámara Argentina Fintech

What Cámara Argentina Fintech does

Cámara Argentina Fintech is a non-profit industry association founded in 2017 by 13 pioneering companies to represent and coordinate the Argentine fintech industry. It serves as the primary collective representation body for fintechs operating in Argentina, with a member-elected Comisi\u00f3n Directiva led by Mar\u00eda Paula Arregui (Mercado Pago) for the 2026\u20132028 term. The chamber counts 400+ direct member companies and coordinates within a broader 1,027-company Argentine fintech ecosystem organized across 10 verticals: Medios de Pago Emisión (23%), Adquirencia (15%), Activos Financieros (14%), Crédito y Financiamiento (14%), Infraestructura y Tecnolog\u00eda (12%), Cripto y Blockchain (8%), Entidades Financieras (5%), Servicios y Otros (4%), Insurtech (3%), and Regtech/Legaltech/Ciberseguridad (2%).

The chamber's core offerings are membership services rather than a software product. Its portfolio includes: (1) tiered memberships with fees ranging from ARS 68,000/month for Fintech Startup to ARS 637,000/month for Entidad Financiera Fintech, plus USD-denominated tiers for foreign companies; (2) industry research publications, including the flagship annual Mapa Fintech, the quarterly ITBA Informe de Cr\u00e9dito Fintech, the PwC-co-developed AI in Fintech report, and a provincial Fiscal Pressure Map; (3) event programming, including the annual Argentina Fintech Forum, a federal cycle of Fintech Meetups in interior provinces, and international trade missions to Madrid, São Paulo, New York and Mexico City; and (4) sector-specific working groups (Mesas de Trabajo) that coordinate member positions for regulatory dialogue with BCRA, CNV, and provincial governments.

Revenue is generated exclusively through recurring membership subscriptions, adjusted quarterly per INDEC IPC variation. The chamber is a non-profit; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Strategic priorities evidenced by 2026 activity include deepening regulatory engagement (Decreto 475/2026 PSAV exemption guidance; Misiones Ingresos Brutos reform), broadening internationalization services for member companies, and expanding the research-publication franchise via partnerships with academic and consulting institutions. Argentina's ranking as the 3rd-largest fintech industry in Latin America provides a constructive macro tailwind for member growth and chamber relevance.
