This resolution amends the general provisions governing brokerage houses to align with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations, specifically strengthening anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing frameworks. It introduces new definitions for novel models and beneficial owners, mandates the prohibition of simplified identification measures when money laundering or terrorist financing is suspected, and requires enhanced due diligence for politically exposed persons. The rules also enforce stricter identification requirements for electronic fund transfers, obligate risk assessments for financial services via new technologies, and recognize the legal validity of electronic means for compliance obligations.

RESOLUTION REFORMING, ADDING, AND REPEALING VARIOUS GENERAL PROVISIONS UNDER ARTICLE 212 OF THE SECURITIES MARKET LAW
CARLOS MANUEL URZÚA MACÍAS, Secretary of Finance and Public Credit, based on the provisions of Articles 31, fractions VIII and XXXIV, of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration; Article 212 of the Securities Market Law, in the exercise of the powers conferred upon me by Article 6, fraction XXXIV, of the Internal Regulations of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, and having received the prior opinion of the National Banking and Securities Commission issued via letter number 213-2/78943/ 11/2019 dated May 30, 2019; and
CONSIDERING
That during the 2016-2017 period, Mexico was evaluated within the framework of the Fourth Round of Mutual Evaluation of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), with the aim of examining its level of compliance with international standards in matters of money laundering prevention and terrorist financing;
That, as a result of the above, on January 3, 2018, the FATF published the "Mutual Evaluation Report" through which this intergovernmental entity made various recommendations to Mexico to strengthen its regime for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing;
That therefore, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit has considered making various modifications to the general provisions that establish the minimum criteria and procedures in matters of money laundering and terrorist financing prevention for the stock market sector, with the objective of addressing the FATF recommendations and strengthening the regime in this matter;
That, in addition to the reform carried out on March 9, 2017, to the general provisions in matters of money laundering and terrorist financing prevention applicable to the stock market sector, to help improve compliance with FATF Recommendations 1 and 10, it is specified in the legal framework the prohibition for brokerage houses to carry out simplified identification measures for their clients or users when they suspect that the funds, assets, or securities that said clients or users intend to use to carry out an operation could be related to money laundering or terrorist financing;
That likewise, in accordance with FATF Recommendation 10, it is necessary to strengthen the legal framework regarding the identification and customer knowledge policy for the stock market sector, establishing the circumstances under which the identification process may be suspended, in order to prevent the commission of money laundering and terrorist financing crimes, among others; and, if applicable, to report the respective unusual operation report to the competent authority;
That, to better address FATF Recommendation 12, it is convenient to establish that brokerage houses determine whether the beneficial owners of their clients or users have the status of politically exposed persons, whether national or foreign, in accordance with applicable provisions, to be able to apply the appropriate customer due diligence measures;
That in accordance with FATF Recommendation 16, related to electronic fund transfers, in consideration of the modifications foreseen for the standardized message formats most used by financial entities in the international market for such operations, it is necessary to strengthen the client or user identification policy of brokerage houses, in order to know with greater precision the information of the ordering party and beneficiary of the transfer in question to detect, and if applicable, prevent, the commission of crimes involving proceeds of illicit origin and terrorist financing, for which it is necessary that brokerage houses identify, regardless of the amount of the operation, the clients or users, as well as the beneficiaries of these, particularly when issuing the respective transfer orders or, when receiving international transfer orders, the ordering parties of the respective international transfer orders, and as in other cases, maintain such information within the timeframes in which they are obligated and at the disposal of the competent authority, in addition to obliging said entities to establish criteria in their respective manuals that allow them to strengthen, with a risk-based approach, their regime for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing on this matter;
That, on the other hand, since brokerage houses can provide financial services through new technologies, which have been recognized by the Mexican Government with the issuance of the Law to Regulate Financial Technology Institutions and its secondary provisions, in accordance with FATF Recommendation 15 and what is stated in the Report of January 3, 2018, it is necessary that these evaluate the risk of providing financial services through said technologies, so it is convenient to establish such an obligation, prior to their implementation and development, as well as for their monitoring;
That, even though currently brokerage houses comply with the obligation of customer due diligence in a presencial and traditional manner, in the face of the existence of the digital era, new technologies, and electronic means, in the integration, conservation, maintenance, verification, etc., of data, information, and documents, it is necessary, as with other regulated participants in the matter, to recognize the legal possibility that brokerage houses can comply with their obligations in matters of money laundering and terrorist financing prevention through said electronic means, of course with the responsibility of complying with the applicable norms to the effect that they have the value that corresponds in law;
That, with the aim of prioritizing efforts and resources in the new obligations established in this resolution, it is estimated convenient to eliminate the obligation for brokerage houses to send the training report, without this implying that they should not have such training;
That once the opinion of the National Banking and Securities Commission has been heard, I have deemed it appropriate to issue the following:

Concurrently with the form, Brokerage Houses must require the applicant to send a color photograph of their valid voter credential issued by the National Electoral Institute, on the front and back. Brokerage Houses must require the applicant to take a color photograph of their face, using devices with cameras of at least 4 megapixels resolution, 24-bit color images, the taking of which must only be done online through the Brokerage House's own technological tool to be sent in that same act.
Additionally, Brokerage Houses must require the natural person to send in digital format the necessary documents to integrate and preserve their identification file in terms of what is provided in the 4th Tertiary of these Provisions.

In addition to the above, Brokerage Houses must confirm the existence of the Unique Population Registry Key with the National Population Registry, as well as that the data of this and those provided in the form coincide with each other.
Likewise, they must compare the photographs of the voter credential and the face, in order to make facial biometric recognition between them, ensuring that both coincide according to the reliability level established in subsection IV of Article 4 of this Annex, and validate the security elements of the received voter credential, in order to detect if said document presents alterations or inconsistencies, for which they must have the necessary technology for this.

f)
Use specialized technology that allows them to achieve reliable identification of the interviewee, with the reliability level established in subsection IV of Article 4 of this Annex, ensuring that there is coincidence between their face, the photograph of said interviewee, and that of the previously received voter credential.
