Argentina’s self-employed workers have access to a range of personal loan options, even without traditional employment, as financial institutions continue to offer tailored credit lines. In February 2026, Banco Nación, Banco Macro, and the digital wallet Naranja X are actively providing loans to active monotributistas, with amounts reaching up to $50,000,000, extended repayment terms, and interest rates dependent on individual credit profiles.
Banco Nación is offering a credit line specifically designed for active monotributistas, with a maximum loan amount of $50,000,000. The bank also allows for loan renewal before the original term expires, provided the existing conditions are met. The credit is disbursed in pesos and repaid over up to 72 fixed monthly installments, with automatic debit as a mandatory repayment method.
To qualify for a Banco Nación loan, applicants must be registered as a monotributista, present a valid Certificado de Cumplimiento Censal from INDEC, be of legal age, and not exceed retirement age at the end of the loan term.
Interest rates for Banco Nación loans vary depending on whether the applicant has a Cuenta Nación account. For Cuenta Nación customers, the fixed annual interest rate (TNA) is 63%, equivalent to an effective annual rate (TEA) of 84.78%, with a Costo Financiero Total (CFT) of 90.01% using the TNA and 138.20% using the TEA. For those without a Cuenta Nación account, the TNA is 85%, resulting in a TEA of 127.33% and a CFT of 102.85% (TNA) or 168.26% (TEA). Regardless of account status, the monthly installment cannot exceed 30% of the declared income, and a valid Certificado de Cumplimiento Censal is required.
Applicants can apply through the Banco Nación website or by visiting a branch, completing the necessary documentation, selecting the desired loan amount and term, and, if applicable, enrolling in Cuenta Nación. A credit evaluation will then be conducted before final approval and disbursement.
Banco Macro offers personal loans of up to $32,000,000, with a maximum repayment period of 60 months. Current interest rates range from a TNA of 67% to 85%, translating to a TEA between 91.93% and 127.33%, and a CFTEA ranging from 119.13% to 168.26%. Required documentation includes a national ID (DNI), proof of CUIL, proof of address, AFIP forms 158 and 184/F, and proof of monotributo payments for the last three months.
To apply for a Banco Macro loan, applicants must complete an online form on the bank’s website, attach the required documentation, and await a credit evaluation. Approved applicants will then sign a contract and receive the funds. The loan has a free use of funds and requires automatic debit payments. The ratio between the installment amount and income is subject to credit evaluation.
For those seeking a fully digital experience, Naranja X provides personal loans of up to $9,000,000 with immediate disbursement through its application. The loans have a minimum amount of $10,000 and a maximum term of 48 months, utilizing the French amortization system.
