AMSOFAC

What AMSOFAC does

AMSOFAC (Asociación Mexicana de Sociedades Financieras de Arrendamiento, Crédito y Factoraje) is a Mexican non-profit trade association founded in 1975 that represents the country's financial leasing, credit, and factoring industry. It serves 54 member companies comprising arrendadoras financieras (financial lessors), arrendadoras puras (pure lessors), SOFOM ER (regulated multiple-purpose financial companies), and SOFOM ENR (non-regulated multiple-purpose financial companies), including major institutions such as BBVA, Banorte, Bancomer, Actinver, Santander, and CSI Leasing. The association is headquartered in Mexico City and operates with a small staff of 1-10 employees.

The association's core service offering is industry representation and member enablement rather than product distribution. Its four core financial product categories — Arrendamiento Puro (pure leasing), Arrendamiento Financiero (financial leasing), Factoraje Financiero (financial factoring), and Crédito (credit) — are delivered by member companies rather than by AMSOFAC itself. Complementary services include eight specialized committees (Fiscal, Funding, Legal, Mobility, Compliance, Human Capital, Credit & Collections, IT), the Colegio AMSOFAC training center offering DC3-certified courses, an annual convention, a job board, and strategic alliances with capital markets and service providers including BIVA, BMV, HR Ratings, and the Big Four accounting firms.

AMSOFAC's business model is membership-based, generating revenue through recurring membership dues, convention and event fees, and training course revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The association acts as a regulatory interlocutor before CNBV and SHCP, sets self-regulation standards for the sector, and provides networking, best-practice exchange, and professional development services. In 2025, it marked its 50th anniversary with a convention under the theme '50 Años Financiando el Crecimiento de México.'

Direct peers

• ASOFOM (Asociación de Sociedades Financieras de Objeto Múltiple en México): ASOFOM is Mexico's trade association specifically for SOFOMs (multiple-purpose financial companies), directly overlapping with AMSOFAC's regulated SOFOM ER and non-regulated SOFOM ENR member segments. Both compete for the same non-bank financial institution membership universe in Mexico.
• AMIB (Asociación Mexicana de Instituciones Bursátiles): AMIB is the Mexican association of securities institutions, serving a parallel function to AMSOFAC in the broader Mexican financial sector — both convene member firms, advocate before regulators, and run training/education programs for financial professionals in Mexico.
• Leaseurope: Leaseurope is the European federation of national leasing associations, serving as the continental counterpart to AMSOFAC. It coordinates leasing-industry advocacy, research, and best-practice sharing — a direct international functional peer.
• Secured Finance Network (formerly Commercial Finance Association): The Secured Finance Network is a leading US trade association for asset-based lending and factoring, directly parallel to AMSOFAC's factoring and credit product focus. Both serve non-bank commercial finance providers with education, networking, and advocacy.
• International Factoring Association: The International Factoring Association is the global trade body for the factoring industry, directly overlapping with AMSOFAC's Factoraje Financiero product line and member services. Both organizations train, certify, and advocate for factoring professionals.
• Asset Finance & Leasing Association (formerly Asset Finance Association UK): The UK's asset finance and leasing trade association is a direct international functional analogue — both represent leasing companies, run policy advocacy, and provide member training. AMSOFAC draws structural parallels with this European counterpart.
• NACM (National Association of Credit Management): NACM is the US trade association for business credit and credit management, directly comparable to AMSOFAC's credit-and-collections committee and Crédito product category. Both provide education, certification, and best-practice exchange for credit professionals.
• ELFA (Equipment Leasing and Finance Association): ELFA is the leading US equipment leasing and finance trade association, directly comparable to AMSOFAC's core product (financial leasing/pure leasing). Both organizations serve lessors, advocate for the leasing industry, publish research, and host annual conventions.

Broad incumbents

• ABM (Asociación de Bancos de México): ABM is Mexico's primary banking association with substantially larger member banks (many of which are also AMSOFAC members). It competes with AMSOFAC for regulatory influence over the Mexican financial sector and serves as a broader-incumbent counterpart.
• AFME (Association for Financial Markets in Europe): AFME is a broad European financial markets association covering capital markets, banking, and asset management. It serves as a broader-incumbent peer to AMSOFAC, with overlapping regulatory advocacy and member-service functions at a much larger scale.
