Mexico: Report on the Observance of Standards and Codes: FATF Recommendations for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2005) accessed September 18, 2024

Summary

This report assesses the Observance of Standards and Codes on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations for Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) for Mexico. The report highlights that Mexico has removed specific exemptions to customer identification obligations, implemented online reporting forms and a new automated transmission process for reporting transactions to the financial intelligence unit. Financial institutions with a reporting obligation (reporting institutions) now require occasional customers performing transactions equivalent to or exceeding US$3,000 in value to be identified so that the transactions can be aggregated daily.
