Banks to set up shop at Mexican Consulate

The Consulate General of Mexico signed an agreement Monday with three U.S. banks that could make Mexican nationals more comfortable with the banking industry.

Chase, Citibank and Laredo National Bank will take turns each day manning a desk in the Mexican Consulate on Navarro Street. They will answer questions for Mexican nationals about financial services and products with the hope of eventually turning them into customers at area branches.

"In other areas of the U.S. — New York, Los Angeles, Chicago — we have had a presence in consulates for years," said Iñigo Arzac, assistant vice president and relationship manager for Citibank San Antonio. "Now we can reach out to the Mexican community, especially with the growth of San Antonio."

The banks will not offer any products inside the consulate. But they will answer questions that Mexicans have about credit, bank services and sending money back to Mexico.



Mexicans send billions of dollars home every year in remittances. Remittances have become one of the largest forms of foreign income for the country. In 2006, more than $23 billion was sent to Mexico from nationals living in the United States.

"We're trying to educate a lot of the citizens out there," said Eusebio Rivera Jr., senior vice president at Chase. "If you go back to the history of Latin America, a lot of the citizens are not banking. They are not used to the banking industry."

Arzac said more than half of the Mexican nationals in Texas do not use banks. Nationally, about 45 percent of Mexican nationals are "unbanked."

"We have to provide a lot of education," Laredo National Bank Vice President Gustavo Parra said. "We do a lot of visits to job sites and PTA meetings. We want to help them feel comfortable."

Ambassador Martha Lara said it took several months to pull together the agreement that was signed in a ceremony Monday at the consulate. The banks had to agree, as did the Mexican federal government.

"It was time to do this in San Antonio," Lara said.

I don't bank in any of these banks and will make sure everyone I know knows about these banks.

Thanks for the head up.

Asta la bye - bye Citibank ... I'll look for another bank / Credit card

Wow they are all jumping on the bandwagon.

Yeah and you know who will fit their bill, the AMERICANS.
The congress will say oh that bank is in trouble lets give them money, and it will come from the AMERICANS. By, jumping up the interest rates on credit cards because the ILLEGALS will not pay the bills, they are only here for a free ride with all the TAXEVASIONS going on, why arent they prosecuted?
They cant they work for cash, then they claim hardship. They get all the freebies from the government, and the real people who pay, is the low class middle clss AMERICANS. They drive new cars get everything else they can get. The president of mexico tells them to all come to AMERICA you can get everything for free, and they have to learn spanish to talk to you or you can sue throught the ACLU, because your RIGHTS are being VIOLATED.
Me, I barely make it every month. I cant get any kind of medical, because of a bad heart, and I cant get a medical card because I make tooooo much.
It is really fustrating.
