The Central Bank of Mexico has opened a second public consultation on draft rules governing the organization and operation of card-payment clearinghouses. Building on its earlier proposal, the framework seeks to make card processing more efficient, secure and competitive by enabling transactions to move smoothly across clearinghouses at lower cost, regardless of which clearinghouse issuers and acquirers use. The draft sets interoperability criteria and conditions intended to ease entry for new participants and innovative services. It also requires stronger alignment with international practices for risk management and information protection under a transparent and robust governance framework, supporting wider use and acceptance of cards in the digital payments ecosystem.
