MEXICO CITY – Starting October 1, 2025, digital bank
transfers in Mexico will change with the implementation of the User
Transactional Amount (MTU), a measure established by the National Banking and
Securities Commission (CNBV) to strengthen security in digital banking.
The MTU is the maximum limit that each user can define for
transactions made through online banking, mobile applications, or by phone.
This applies to transfers via SPEI, CoDi, DIMO, utility payments, and credit
card settlements to third parties.
September 30, 2025: Deadline for customers to configure
their MTU from their bank's app or portal.
October 1, 2025: Banks will be required to enable the MTU
option; those who have not defined one will receive one automatically.
January 1, 2026: All users must have an MTU, either defined
by themselves or assigned by the banking institution.
If a limit is not set by September 30, banks will
automatically assign one: 1,500 UDIS, equivalent to approximately 12,500 to
13,000 pesos, depending on the value of the UDI.
There will be no financial penalties for not setting it, but
the ability to make transfers greater than the automatic limit may be
restricted. For transactions that exceed the MTU, an additional authentication
process will be required.
According to the CNBV, the goal is to strengthen customer
protection against digital fraud, since with the MTU, each user will have
greater control over their transaction limits. Furthermore, the limit can be
adjusted at any time from banking applications.
The MTU will apply to all Mexican digital banking. The goal
is to make financial transactions more secure and ensure users are aware of how
much money can be transferred from their accounts without requiring additional
verification steps.
Therefore, if you have fixed monthly payments from your
banking app, it is recommended that you add them all up and establish your
monthly transfer limit. /www.tictacnews.us /E. ESGLOTAC
