Unauthorized Financial and Stock Market Intermediation

Article 310 of the Argentine Penal Code penalizes unauthorized financial and stock market intermediation. This crime occurs when individuals or entities, without regulatory authorization, raise funds from the public (for example, deposits or loans) or carry out operations exclusive to banks and stock market agents.

The regulation seeks to protect your savings, investments, and the stability of the financial and stock market system by ensuring that only properly controlled entities handle these transactions.
