Mexican regulator takes over running of banks hit by US fentanyl sanctions By Noe Torres and Kylie Madry MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Mexico’s banking regulator will temporarily step in to replace the administration of two banks sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged involvement in money laundering linked to organized crime, it said on Thursday. The nation’s banking and securities commission said it will intervene in the operations of CIBanco and Intercam Banco to protect the banks’ creditors and depositors. The move comes a day after the U.S. Treasury prohibited certain transactions with the banks, as well as brokerage firm Vector Casa de Bolsa, under new fentanyl sanctions. All three firms deny the allegations. The sanctions effectively cut the institutions off from the U.S. financial system and could have a significant impact on Mexican banking, given the interconnectedness between lenders and close trade ties with the U.S., experts said. CIBanco in a statement said it will collaborate with U.S. and Mexican regulators and that clients’ deposits were protected under local law. Intercam Banco did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Mexico has so far rebuffed the allegations from the U.S., saying the Treasury has not provided Mexico with proof to back up their declaring these institutions "as primary money laundering concerns." "There is no evidence," Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told reporters earlier on Thursday. "We will collaborate and coordinate (with U.S. authorities), but we will not bend to them." Mexican authorities, as well as the nation’s banking association, have said that the blow to the firms would not have a contagion effect on the broader financial system, which remained resilient. Vector’s CEO, Edgardo Cantu, told Reuters on Thursday that the institution had not been subpoenaed by U.S. authorities and that it was "fully prepared to provide the information needed to clarify these allegations." With CIBH making headlines, savvy investors are asking: Is it truly valued fairly? In a market full of overpriced darlings, identifying true value can be challenging. InvestingPro's advanced AI algorithms have analyzed CIBH alongside thousands of other stocks to uncover hidden gems. These undervalued stocks, potentially including CIBH, could offer substantial returns as the market corrects. In 2024 alone, our AI identified several undervalued stocks that later surged by 30 or more. Is CIBH poised for similar growth? Don't miss the opportunity to find out.

Voters are sick of the ping pong game with #bankregulation.

Fix it once and for all so we don't have to go thru this corruption for decades more. Why can't/won't Dems in Congress fix this when the have the ability to do so? Isn't that why we voted blue... multiple times?

Bessent says US Treasury to take stronger role in bank regulation, easing undue burdens © Reuters. FILE PHOTO: The United States Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent walks near the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., March 14, 2025. REUTERS/Nathan Howard/File Photo By David Lawder and Pete Schroeder WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday his department will play a greater role in banking regulation to better balance costs and benefits and ensure that lenders can finance growth in the U.S. economy. In prepared remarks to an American Bankers Association conference, Bessent called for "commonsense principles" in banking regulations to ease burdens, especially for community banks that have had to deal with rules tailored for larger institutions. Bessent said Treasury’s stronger involvement in crafting bank regulation would be achieved through the Financial Stability Oversight Council, which meets regularly and includes the heads of the Federal Reserve and other bank regulators. He also said he would use the President’s Working Group on Capital Markets, a smaller committee that studies financial trends and has sometimes met during financial crises. Treasury engagement with individual regulators, such as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, is another tool for this. In the past, bank regulators have exercised vast powers on almost every aspect of daily life - but without meaningful accountability to the American people," Bessent said. "Most glaringly, regulation through supervision has too often taken place behind a veil of secrecy that precludes scrutiny by the public and their elected officials." Bessent’s remarks were short on specific proposed changes to banking regulations or capital requirements, but he said that the Trump administration would look at the capital buffer framework for large banks to ensure that it’s consistent with law and acts as an appropriate backstop. He said that his principles for regulation should derive from a clear statutory mandate, including safety and soundness, mitigating risk and consumer protection. "Second regulation should be efficient. That means regulations should strike an appropriate balance between costs and benefits," Bessent said, adding that regulators themselves needed efficiency in their budget and staffing. MORE TAILORED REGULATION Bessent said that regulation should be fair and applied evenly across entities. "The Treasury Department intends to drive a change in the culture of supervision through improvements to examination procedures, enhanced monitoring of examiners’ compliance with those procedures, and more realistic processes for appealing supervisory findings," Bessent said. "Perhaps the most consequential step would be to define ’unsafe and unsound’ by rule using more objective measures rooted in financial risk." He said he would be particularly focused on a more tailored regulation of community banks that have struggled with "undue compliance burdens" that require heavy investments in technology. "For the last four decades, Wall Street has grown wealthier than ever before. And it can continue to grow and do well," Bessent said. But for the next four years, it’s Main Street’s turn" to drive investment. Bessent also criticized the Basel Committee’s Endgame standards, saying that in his opinion, this was not the right starting point for U.S. regulatory modernization. "We need to take a different approach. We should not outsource decision making for the United States to international bodies," he said, adding that the U.S. should conduct an analysis tailored to its interests, and the U.S. can "borrow selectively from the Basel Endgame standards. Bessent’s prepared remarks made no mention of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on global trading partners or their impact on financial markets. 0 Latest comments

Fed, OCC, FDIC seek to rescind CRA final rule Federal banking regulators pointed to pending litigation as the reason for pulling back the 2023 rule.

Regulators are scrapping the 2023 CRA rule and returning to the 1995 version—again. Modernization of bank obligations in the digital era? Maybe we’ll see another attempt once permanent agency heads are in place.
