Bank employees: how much they will earn in July after the new increase

How much have bank salaries increased in 2026

With the adjustment corresponding to May, bank salaries have accumulated an increase of 14.7% during the first five months of 2026.

The percentage coincides with the accumulated inflation in the same period, according to data published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC).

The strategy of La Bancaria consists of conducting periodic reviews to prevent salaries from losing value against rising prices and to keep the agreement updated throughout the year.

What will the bonus for Banker’s Day be in 2026

The new salary agreement also impacted the traditional bonus that workers receive every November 6, when Banker’s Day is celebrated.

According to the union, the updated minimum amount of the benefit has been set at $2,111,667.14.

However, this figure is not final. The union clarified that the bonus will be adjusted again if new salary increases occur in the coming months.

This benefit ensures that the final earnings of workers in the financial sector remain above those recorded in most private activities.

The union emphasizes that this mechanism strengthens purchasing power and complements the conventional additional payments specific to the activity.

The bank employees will receive a salary update following the latest agreement reached between La Bancaria and the business chambers of the financial sector. The improvement aligns with the inflation data reported by INDEC and will impact the earnings received during July.

With the new adjustment of 2.1%, the initial salary for the activity exceeds $2.4 million per month. Additionally, the traditional bonus for Banker’s Day has also been updated, one of the most important benefits of the agreement.
