RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to Credit Institutions

A seal with the National Coat of Arms appears at the margin, which reads: United Mexican States.- Treasury.- Ministry of Treasury and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.

The National Banking and Securities Commission, based on the provisions of Articles 52, paragraphs first and eighth; 65; 76; 96 Bis, first paragraph; 98, second paragraph and 98 Bis of the Credit Institutions Law, as well as Articles 4, fractions II, XXXVI and XXXVIII, 14 and 16, fraction I of the National Banking and Securities Commission Law, having the opinion of the Bank of Mexico, and

CONSIDERING

That, the Credit Institutions Law confers upon the National Banking and Securities Commission the authority to issue general provisions, with the purpose of establishing clear, simplified and homologated guidelines that allow credit institutions to integrate credit files efficiently in order to guarantee that the necessary documentation and information is adequately collected for the granting, renewal and validity of credits of any nature, ensuring that the processes are agile, transparent and in accordance with best regulatory practices, and

That, within the framework of the regulatory review applicable to credit institutions, the need has been identified to implement measures that promote the digitalization and simplification of processes related to the integration of credit files. These actions include the reuse of existing documentation, provided that it is updated and valid, as well as enabling the use of Advanced Electronic Signature as a mechanism for authentication and identification in digital media for the request and formalization of consumer and commercial credits. Likewise, flexibility is incorporated so that, in consumer credits, Institutions under their internal policies may consider records of deposits and charges from the last three months in accounts administered on behalf of users. Furthermore, it is proposed to allow the performance of non-presidential verifications via Electronic Means, guaranteeing the interoperability and security of information, with the objective of optimizing the evaluation and monitoring processes of commercial credits, reducing the regulatory burden and associated bureaucratic costs, and fostering the stability of the financial system for the benefit of the public, therefore, this National Banking and Securities Commission has resolved to issue the following:
