Preparing for Your Digital Banking Journey
- You must be a client of Banco de la Nación Argentina with an active bank account and an associated debit card.
- An initial visit to a Red Link ATM is necessary to obtain a temporary username and a 6-digit key for first-time access.
- You will need a device with internet access (computer, tablet, or smartphone) to complete the online registration and manage your account.
Accessing Your Banco Nación Online Account
- Initial Setup at an ATM: Begin by visiting any Red Link ATM. Insert your debit card and enter your PIN. Select the 'Claves' (Keys) option, then choose 'Clave Internet' (Internet Key). Enter a 6-digit numerical key that you can easily remember. The ATM will print a ticket with a temporary username and your chosen 6-digit key.
- First-Time Online Access: Go to the official Banco Nación website, www.bna.com.ar, and click on 'Home Banking'. Enter the temporary username from your ATM ticket and the 6-digit key you just created. The system will then guide you to update your personal information and establish a permanent, alphanumeric username and a new, stronger password.
- Subsequent Logins: For future access, whether through the website or the BNA+ app, use your chosen permanent username and the alphanumeric password you established. If using the BNA+ app for the first time, you can register directly using your DNI and complete a biometric validation process. If you already have Home Banking credentials, you can use those for BNA+ registration.
