Mexico's National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Financial Services Users and the Financial Intelligence Unit have signed a collaboration agreement to strengthen information exchange and institutional coordination aimed at preventing, detecting and investigating money laundering and related financial crimes. The arrangement provides for information sharing within the applicable legal framework, permanent communication channels, and training and technical cooperation to improve financial intelligence and reduce misuse of the financial system. The agreement allows both bodies to use information and intelligence products within their respective mandates, subject to legality, security and confidentiality safeguards. CONDUSEF said it recorded 43,871 cases between January and June 2026 involving possible financial harm reported by users, and that the resulting statistical and analytical information can help identify fraud typologies, operating patterns, sectors with higher incidence and geographic risk areas. That exchange is also intended to give the Financial Intelligence Unit more inputs to analyze possible schemes used in financial crimes, including accounts used to receive or disperse illicit funds. The agreement does not provide for the sharing of personal data, users' banking information or other sensitive data.
