In a context of constant adjustment of rates and services, Banco Santander Argentina began to notify its clients about a new update in the maintenance costs of its products. According to the official statement sent by the entity, the new values will come into effect from June 2026. “We want to tell you that your products will have new prices. We seek to accompany you with simple solutions and benefits that you can take advantage of in your daily life,” reads the message that has already landed in the mailboxes of thousands of users throughout the country.
The news has a direct impact on customers’ financial planning, especially in high-end segments, where maintenance costs have shown significant jumps. The adjustment reflects the need for private banks to equate their commissions with inflation and operating costs. Nevertheless, The bank maintains certain bonus mechanisms in force which, although strict, allow a group of users to avoid these monthly charges that can represent a considerable amount in the annual budget.
A detail that has generated curiosity and reports among users is the bonus policy. According to the official communication, the total package bonus is only publicly guaranteed through salary accreditation. However, in financial forums and social networks, several clients claim to have obtained discounts for investments, insurance contracts or specific transfer movements. Unlike direct competitors such as Banco Galicia or BBVA, Santander does not currently offer an automatic bonus scheme based on credit card consumption levels, which forces customers to be more strategic with their relationship with the entity.
New prices at Banco Santander: from the SuperCuenta to the Black package
The new tariff table shows increases that in some cases are around 21%. The segment with the greatest impact is, without a doubt, that of premium accounts. For example, the Black package, which until April was sold at around $76,777 with VAT included, will cost $92,132 starting in June.
Below is the detail of the final prices (VAT included) for the main products:
- Checking account: $9,300
- SuperAccount: $14,300
- SuperAccount with Personal Loan: $17,207
- SuperAccount 3 and with checkbook: $34,848
- Infinity: $40,222
- Infinity Gold: $55,660
- Platinum: $82,038
- Black: $92,132
It is important to remember that, by regulations of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA), the basic Peso Savings Bank has no maintenance or constitution cost. This includes the provision of a debit card and operations at the entity’s own ATMs. The charges mentioned by Santander correspond to the “Account Service Commission”, which includes the checking account, the savings account in dollars and the additional benefits of each service package.
Banco Santander: changes in benefit programs and fine print
Beyond prices, the bank also announced a reorganization of its loyalty programs. Starting with this update, the historic “Women” program will disappear as an independent brand to merge with “Sorpresa Santander.” This unification seeks to simplify the offer of discounts and benefits under the same digital umbrella, allowing subscribers to access exclusive promotions more directly from the application.
Regarding the “fine print” of the announcement, the entity clarifies that 100% bonuses for salary accreditation are valid as long as the employer uses the bank’s official salary payment module. If the accreditation is made as a common transfer under the concept “fees”, the system may not automatically recognize it for the bonus, which would require manual management with the account officer. In addition, it was reported that the commission prices for Savings Banks in dollars remain at their current values, without undergoing modifications at this update stage.
Clients who wish to avoid these charges must ensure that they maintain their active employment relationship with accreditation with the entity or check through official channels if they qualify for any exception due to the volume of investments (fixed terms, common funds or securities). With these new values, Santander seeks to consolidate its position in the market while users increasingly compare maintenance costs against the advantages offered by virtual wallets and digital banks.
