Cooperativa Obrera distributes $9.789 million to Argentine members

On 27 July 2026 the Argentine workers' cooperative Cooperativa Obrera began distributing a total of $9.789 million to its members. The payout, approved unanimously at the ordinary assembly on 27 June, consists of a Return to Consumption component of more than $6.1 million for over 1.5 million members (0.50 % annual on inflation‑adjusted purchases made between 1 Mar 2025 and 28 Feb 2026) and an Interest on Capital component of over $3.6 million for more than 2.9 million members (28 % annual on the capital each person has in their individual account).

By law the surplus is split 5 % to a legal reserve, 5 % to labor assistance, 5 % to cooperative education and the remaining 85 % directly to members. Recipients are notified at point‑of‑sale and can redeem the amount as a discount or leave it in their individual capital account, with balances viewable through the cooperative’s mobile app.
