At CASSAGNE Consultores, we ensure our clients and community remain fully informed on key developments in Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF).

On November 4, 2025, Argentina?s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) issued Resolution 207/2025 in the Official Gazette, updating the framework for reporting Suspicious Terrorist Financing Transactions (RFT) and strengthening the administrative freezing of assets linked to designated individuals or entities. This new resolution repeals UIF Resolution 29/2013. ?

Key updates introduced by the Resolution

(a) 24-hour reporting rule: Reporting entities must file RFTs within 24 hours of detecting an executed or attempted transaction linked to terrorist financing.

(b) Immediate freezing obligation: Where a match exists with UN sanction lists or designations issued by the National Executive Branch, reporting entities must freeze assets without delay and notify the UIF immediately.

(c) No ?tip-off? permitted: Entities are prohibited from alerting the client. They may only indicate that funds are frozen pursuant to applicable law and regulatory authority.

(d) Mandatory UIF system use: Freezing actions and outcomes must be reported through the UIF?s ?Freeze Order Report? system.

Duration of freezing measures

UN / Executive designations: freezing remains as long as the designation is active. Other TF-related scenarios: up to 6 months, renewable once.

Scope of application:

Applies to all reporting entities under Article 20 of Law 25.246. Insurance sector exception: Insurance and reinsurance companies may pay claims to good-faith third parties not included in freezing orders under mandatory insurance policies.
