Introduction to the Bank’s Transformation

The relaunch of our bank in June marked the beginning of a new phase, focused on strengthening our value proposition and solidifying a business model centered around innovation, proximity, and operational excellence. This transformation is part of a strategic vision aiming to build a more agile, human, and digital financial experience that can anticipate the challenges of the environment.

Acquisition of CIBanco’s Fiduciary Business

This week, we announced the acquisition of CIBanco’s fiduciary business, a transaction that stands out for its regulatory design, organized execution, and alignment with international standards. It is a clear example of how the Mexican financial system can effectively respond to complex reorganization processes, prioritizing user protection and national financial system stability.

Regulated Competitive Process

The process followed a regulated competitive framework, involving more than five banking institutions. This diversity of offers allowed for the evaluation of proposals in economic, contractual, and operational terms under fair and transparent conditions. Direct communication with financial authorities was crucial to ensure each stage adhered to current regulations and international best practices.

Key Factors in the Selected Proposal

The selected proposal resulted from a comprehensive evaluation considering not only economic and contractual solidity but also operational capacity to assume fiduciary and common representative services without disruptions. A critical factor was the integration of CIBanco’s entire fiduciary team into our business model, preserving specialized knowledge, ensuring technical continuity, and strengthening institutional capacity. In a sector where fiduciary experience is essential for managing assets, trusts, and financial mandates, this transfer of talent represents a strategic advantage.

Legal and Technical Solidity

The involvement of internationally renowned legal firms added an extra layer of legal and technical solidity to the process. The transaction was promptly informed to foreign regulatory instances, and a permanent communication channel has been established to ensure its viability over time.

Transition and Regulatory Measures

During the transition phase, strict regulatory and operational controls will be implemented under constant supervision from financial authorities. These mechanisms aim to protect user and beneficiary interests, ensure an orderly migration, and actively contribute to the country’s financial stability.

Strengthening the Financial System

Such operations, when executed with institutional rigor, reinforce Mexico’s financial system architecture and consolidate resilient business models prepared to respond to environmental challenges. With this acquisition, Multiva reaffirms its commitment to developing high-value financial solutions backed by specialized talent, robust processes, and a deep sense of responsibility towards Mexico.
