Institutional // Associate members and goals
Created in 1972 as “Asociación de Bancos Argentinos” (Association of Argentine Banks), ADEBA was refounded in April 2003 as an association of Argentine-capital banks on the initiative of local banks, with the understanding that a modern and vigorous banking system constitutes an essential factor for the implementation of a growth strategy.
