Banco Ciudad experienced significant growth in 2025, attracting 120,000 new clients primarily through its digital wallet, Buepp. The app, which integrates payments, transportation, and investment services, saw over 600,000 downloads, highlighting its popularity and utility.
This expansion contributed to the bank's strong financial performance.

The bank achieved a net profit of $129.441 billion for the year, with a return on equity (ROE) of 7.3%, which is 1.6 times the average for the financial sector.
The bank also played a crucial role in financing key sectors of the economy. It disbursed $247.343 billion for housing, facilitating approximately 2700 mortgages, with 82% of these loans for properties in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA). This represented 21.8% of all mortgage-backed real estate operations in the city.
Furthermore, Banco Ciudad provided substantial financing to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), totaling $250 billion. The focus was on commerce and service sectors within CABA, which constituted 53% of the bank's peso portfolio. The bank also supported sustainable initiatives, notably the conversion of CABA's public transport fleet to compressed natural gas (GNC).
In addition to its financial activities, Banco Ciudad emphasized financial education. Its training programs in 2025 reached over 7200 users via its online platform and 280 institutions through in-person workshops, impacting more than 15,000 individuals across various age groups and professional backgrounds. Banco Ciudad President Guillermo Laje highlighted the bank's consolidated economic results and its role as the financial agent for CABA.
In 2025, we consolidated our economic results, supported the sectors that drive activity, and once again generated dividends for the development of the city.
