What FinTech México does

Asociación FinTech México is a non-profit industry association founded in 2015 that represents 180+ fintech companies across nine verticals in Mexico. The organization does not develop proprietary technology products; its core offering is membership services, regulatory advocacy, working groups, and industry research and events, including the FinTech México Festival, FTMX Week, the annual Insights report, and the FinTech Academy education program. Its member ecosystem spans payment platforms, digital credit origination, infrastructure providers (identity, fraud, APIs), neobanks, InsurTech, crypto and blockchain, crowdfunding, financial markets, and personal finance, with 70 million+ end users reached through affiliated services.

The business model is membership-funded: the association generates revenue through tiered annual membership fees paid by affiliated companies, supplemented by event sponsorships and FinTech Academy course fees. There is no external equity backing, no funding rounds, and no parent company; governance rests with a Board of Directors composed of executives from member companies including Bitso, Belvo, Stori, Finsus, Nu, and Monato, chaired by Felipe Vallejo and led operationally by Director General Claudia Núñez Sañudo (appointed 2025). Distribution of membership occurs through the association's website, direct outreach, and industry events. The association maintains formal engagement with Mexican regulators CNBV, CONDUSEF, and Banco de México, and is structured around 11 vice presidencies covering ITFs, Open Finance, Gender, Regulation, SME Financing, PLD, Cryptocurrencies and AI, Payments, Cybersecurity, and the North Chapter.
