PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Embedded finance in key industries in Mexico: Travel
By the end of 2023, Mexico led Latin America in tourism’s contribution to national GDP, accounting for 29% of the total, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. This positions Mexico as a leading tourist power and highlights its significant potential in the industry.
AI emerges as a key factor for the evolution of credit cards in Mexico
With the constant entry of new players in credit cards in Mexico, which compete to offer more efficient processes to consumers, modernisation is key to achieving differentiation. In addition, large banks will undergo restructuring processes in 2024 that will require them to adapt to a challenging environment characterised by competition; for example, Banamex will in this year conclude its separation from Citigroup to focus on consumer banking.
Emerging groups will redefine strategies in financial cards and payments
Just as digital natives have attracted the attention of numerous fintechs which aim to offer banking services operated through apps, the small business segment in Mexico has grown in the wake of the post-pandemic reopening of businesses. Mercado Pago, the fintech arm of the Latin American e-commerce giant Mercado Libre, has capitalised on its efforts in this segment by signing more than one million loans for small businesses in 2023, and expects to exceed two million in 2024.

Credit Card Transactions
Credit cards allow for purchases against a preapproved line of credit. The account holder has the choice of whether to pay off the entire balance each month or opt for monthly instalments with the balance serving as revolving credit. If the cardholder decides to revolve a balance, the consumer pays interest. Credit cards can include affinity cards, reward cards and types of co-branded cards. Co-branded retailer cards—issued by retailers acting as financial institutions and without usage restrictions—are included in this category. Cards issued by a retailer with usage limited to a specific store within a predefined retail group fall under the store cards definition. Debit cards with an overdraft function are not counted as cards with a credit function. Payments are tracked based on the country of residence / account issuance and include outbound spend while excluding inbound spend.
