Mexico's National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Users of Financial Services warns of impersonation affecting 12 SIPRES-registered financial institutions

Mexico's National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Users of Financial Services (CONDUSEF) published a notice that 12 duly constituted financial institutions registered in the System of Registry of Financial Service Providers (SIPRES) reported cases of identity theft and impersonation. The alleged impersonators used the institutions’ names and branding to economically harm or deceive people seeking credit and other financial services. CONDUSEF said the July 2025 reports involved the unauthorized use of institutions’ trade names, corporate names and logos, and in some cases their tax or administrative data, via print and digital media. The affected entities were Limón Tesoro S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Quinta Solution, S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Solvencia de Capital S.A. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Finansurge S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Proveloz, S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Administración Financiera Alianza S.A. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Finanzas del Norte, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; CRARFI, S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Organización Capitalista Empresarial, S.A.P.I de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; R Pardo y Asociados S.A. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; Spenda, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R.; and Fianzas Avanza, S.A. de C.V. The commission pointed users to SIPRES as a way to identify providers that are properly constituted and registered.
