In Argentina, particularly in the city of Buenos Aires, there is a distribution of financial work through what we refer to as bank-wise commerce, that is, premises that mix commercial functions with banking activities.

In this context, new temporalities are experienced by social actors, accelerating commercial processes and urban consumption.
