FAQ

Mexico licensing questions.

What is the practical difference between MT/MSB and IFPE?

MT/MSB routes are generally aligned with money-transfer and remittance activities, while IFPE is a broader institutional pathway for electronic-payment-fund models.

Can a business start with MT/MSB and expand later?

A phased strategy can be considered, depending on the operating model, product roadmap and regulatory requirements at the time.

Do you support digital-first models?

Yes. We can scope digital and non-face-to-face operational requirements as part of the compliance and documentation workstream.
