- The signing of the agreement took place during the inauguration of the Semana de Educación Financiera Integral para Mexicanas y Mexicanos en el Exterior (Week of Comprehensive Financial Education for Mexicans Abroad).
- The agencies will promote the services offered by Financiera para el Bienestar at Mexican consulates in the United States.
- We will continue to train the staff of the Financial Counseling Windows, in order to orient people interested in the services of the FINABIEN USA and Mexico cards.
As part of the Comprehensive Financial Education Week for Mexicans Abroad, Financiera para el Bienestar (FINABIEN) and the Instituto de Mexicanas y Mexicanos en el Exterior (IMME), renewed a collaboration agreement so that our fellow Mexicans in the United States can learn about FINABIEN services, as well as continue with the training provided by the operating personnel of the Financial Advice Windows (VAF) of the IMME in Mexican consulates.
In addition, a round table discussion was held on “Prevention and Protection of the Assets of the Mexican Community Residing Abroad and Returning”. The general director of Financiera para el Bienestar, Rocio Mejia Flores, said that many Mexican citizens do not have documents to open a bank account in the United States, therefore, the FINABIEN card is an excellent option to obtain an account that allows them to send money from the United States to their relatives in Mexico. He emphasized that it is not necessary to make appointments to open this financial instrument at the different consulates.
The director of the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, Tatiana Clouthier Carrillo, highlighted the good coordination with Financiera para el Bienestar, and also noted that she witnessed the delivery of FINABIEN cards to many women at the consulate in Orlando, with this card, they now have a financial instrument that benefits them in many aspects, in addition to having the aforementioned training. All this has resulted in new businesses and sources of self-employment.
The round table was attended by the President of the National Commission of the Retirement Savings System (CONSAR), Julio César Cervantes Parra; the Director of Incorporation and Collection of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), Luisa Obrador Garrido Cuesta; the General Administrator of Taxpayer Services of the Tax Administration Service (SAT), Andrea Yoalli Hernández Xoxotla, and the Director of Finance and Taxation of the National Workers' Housing Fund Institute (INFONAVIT), Carlos Cortez González.
With these actions, we recognize the importance of strengthening and promoting the financial inclusion of our fellow countrymen and women in the United States. The renewal of this collaboration agreement provides continuity to the ongoing support for the benefit of the migrant population and their families.
