Banking and Finance Regulation

Mexico has a complex banking regulatory architecture, comprising several federal agencies and diverse legislative and executive regulations. Mexican regulators have different functions and attributions when it comes to regulating the financial sector and the banking industry. Among others, they serve as the primary supervisory authorities over banking activities and regulate the organization and operation.

Our Banking & Finance Regulation team has experience advising domestic and foreign clients in relation to all the regulatory aspects of the banking and financial sector, as well as all proceedings regarding Mexican regulators.
