RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to general warehouse stores, exchange houses, credit unions, and multiple-object financial companies regulated
At the margin, a seal with the National Coat of Arms, which reads: United Mexican States.- Treasury.- Secretariat of Treasury and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.
The National Banking and Securities Commission, based on the provisions of articles 42; 46; 47; 50; 51, fifth paragraph and 62, first paragraph of the Credit Unions Law; 98 Bis of the Credit Institutions Law; as well as 4, fractions II, IV, V, XXXVI and XXXVIII; 16, fraction I and 19 of the National Banking and Securities Commission Law, and
CONSIDERING
That, in accordance with article 78 of the General Law for Regulatory Improvement and with the purpose of reducing the compliance cost of this modifying resolution, the National Banking and Securities Commission, through the issuance of the "Resolution modifying the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions" published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on July 5, 2019, adjudicated by the National Commission for Regulatory Improvement through office CONAMER/19/2325, contained in file 05/0123/291018 in which the obligation to conserve all means containing instructions from its clients was eliminated, and from the "Resolution modifying the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions", published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on July 27, 2021, adjudicated by CONAMER through office CONAMER/21/2925, contained in file 05/0038/ 280521 which results from the savings in reserves that occurred with the implementation, regarding personal loans.
That the Credit Unions Law establishes the faculty for the National Banking and Securities Commission to issue, through general provisions, the maximum percentages of liabilities owed by a credit union that correspond to direct or contingent obligations in favor of the same person, entity, or group of persons that, according to the same rules, must be considered for these effects, as a single creditor; the maximum limits of the amount of direct and contingent liabilities, including investments in capital-representative securities, of the same person, entity, or group of persons that, due to their property or responsibility links, constitute common risks, which may not exceed fifty percent of the net capital; as well as the total amount of credits that a credit union may grant collectively to other credit unions may not exceed the equivalent to fifty percent of the net capital of the granting credit union;
That, in the "General Provisions applicable to the activities of general warehouse stores, exchange houses, credit unions, and multiple-object financial companies regulated" currently in force, the need has been detected to adjust the norm regarding the maximum limit of Financing for Members, both natural and legal persons, with the objective of incentivizing loans and the development of production activities of goods and services carried out in areas of social lag;
That, it is necessary to strengthen the regulations of credit unions to follow up on the "Common Risk" that may arise in entities granting Financing, allowing entities to identify and manage more efficiently the risks associated with credit concentrations, and
That, for all the above, in this "Resolution modifying the General Provisions applicable to general warehouse stores, exchange houses, credit unions, and multiple-object financial companies regulated", the diversification of risks in the credit operations of credit unions is regulated, with the purpose that these entities take optimal advantage of risk diversification in their operations, which will translate into a broader credit offer adapted to the needs of their members, being in a position to expand the financial services of the credit unions themselves, thus enhancing their impact on the economic and social development of their areas of influence, therefore it has resolved to issue the following:

For these limits, the covered portion shall not be considered in the terms stated in article 105 Bis, fraction I, subsection b), of these provisions.

These procedures must be documented and kept updated annually and available to present them to the Commission in charge of their supervision when requested.
When requesting the information and documentation, credit unions must warn subscribers about the legal consequences of presenting false information to obtain Financing. When the credit union has elements that allow inferring the existence of links between different borrowers, and that these links could, collectively, exceed the diversification limits established in article 105 Bis of these provisions, it must establish specific monitoring procedures to continuously follow up on the behavior of the persons involved.
Credit unions must communicate to the Commission breaches of the limits established in this chapter, within ten business days following the date on which they detected the said breaches. Such communication must include the immediate actions to be taken to comply with the limits that were exceeded.
Without prejudice to the sanctions that may correspond in case of breach of the referred limits, credit unions must adhere to the treatment established in article 80 fraction IV of these provisions, in the calculation of the net capital of the immediate subsequent month. For these purposes, the amount of Financing granted that exceeds the maximum Financing limits established in article 105 Bis of these provisions shall be considered as "operation in contravention of applicable provisions", and must be compared with said limits in gross terms, and deducted in net terms from the corresponding estimates.
