President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced that this year, 1,350 branches of the Banco de Bienestar will be built, with the aim of offering social care to the population sector that commercial banking has left behind.
He criticized that Mexico's banking system does not have a social vision and has dedicated itself to thinking only about obtaining economic profits.
In his morning press conference, he said that of the 2,547 municipalities in the country there are only 1,000 bank branches, that is, in 1,547 there are no banks.
This figure contradicts data from the Association of Banks of Mexico (ABM), which indicates that 73% of the country's municipalities have at least one bank installed, that is, the ABM recognizes that 522 municipalities in the country are without financial services. . The commitment of this private organization is to reach 100% of the municipalities in 2024.
The ABM has records that there are 17,290 bank Chile Mobile Number List branches in Mexico, which manage almost 63 million accounts of individuals and corporations.
According to the information contained in the interactive maps available on the FINclusion Lab platform, 646 municipalities do not have any access to financial services, nor branches, nor ATMs and do not have banking correspondents.
The Mexican president reiterated that commercial banking has not fulfilled Mexico and "has lacked a social dimension in the aspects of serving places far from urban areas; they have concentrated on places where they appreciate having clients, privileging a commercial vision."
López Obrador stressed that Mexico has lacked a financial inclusion scheme for various population sectors; According to data from the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV), in the country, almost 70% of the adult population is excluded from financial services, since in the municipalities where they live there is no type of access to them.
When consulting the financial institution Banorte about this position, the institution preferred not to enter into controversy with AMLO and reserved its comments.
