YPF users purchase one million shares via mobile app in first month
YPF has announced that its users have purchased one million shares of the company directly through the App YPF within just one month of the feature's launch. This initiative aims to bring capital market access to a broader audience through a daily-use digital environment.
The functionality was developed through a strategic alliance between YPF and Santander Argentina, combining YPF's digital ecosystem with Santander's financial technology and infrastructure. This makes YPF the first energy company to offer the ability to acquire its own shares via its mobile application.
Horacio Marín, President and CEO of YPF, stated that the volume of operations demonstrates significant interest from Argentines in participating in the company. Alejandro Butti, CEO of Santander Argentina, noted that the milestone highlights the potential of integrating financial services into mass-use digital platforms.
