Vector Casa de Bolsa agreed with Finamex the transfer of customers and investment accounts of his stock market. The transfer occurs days after beating the extension of the sanctions issued by the United States Department of the Treasury against Vector, for alleged acts of money laundering in favor of Mexican drug cartels. “With this operation, customer investments and assets remain in full and duly supported, under the mechanisms of custody and supervision established by Mexican regulation and guarded by the Institute for the Deposit of Securities (Indeval), which ensures its protection and availability in accordance with the applicable legal provisions,” said the company in writing. The financial, founded by Alfonso Romo, ensures that the transfer is neither a fusion nor an acquisition of the corporation by Finamex and stressed that this transfer will contribute to the continuity of the financial services of the entity.

As part of the agreements achieved, Finamex will acquire, through its company operating society or any other affiliate that designates, the representative actions of the fixed social capital of which it is the holder vector funds in about twenty investment companies. “The transaction is subject to compliance with certain closing conditions, including obtaining the necessary regulatory authorizations,” said Finamex. According to the official figures, as of June 2025, Finamex had 139,000 million pesos in assets, while vector assets added 33,787 million pesos.

Last June, the US government pointed to the financial entity, together with Cibanco and Intercam, to facilitate the drug trafficking business in favor of the Sinaloa cartel and the Gulf poster. According to his information, Vector participated in several transactions over several years that involved bribes paid by the criminal group of Sinaloa to Genaro García Luna, who was Secretary of Public Security of Mexico and director of the Federal Agency for Research of Mexico in the Sexenio de Felipe Calderón (2006-2012). In 2023, the former federal official was sentenced in the US to abuse his position and allow the Sinaloa cartel to evade the law in exchange for millions of dollars.

The Treasury Department sanctioned the entities and from October 20 may not make transactions with any financial entity in the United States. In an attempt to contain the coup, the Government of Claudia Sheinbaum, through the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) ordered the temporal intervention of Cibanco, Interm and Vector.

Despite these efforts inside, since the Department of the Treasury launched the entities, on June 25, the panorama for those involved has meant a uphill. In full uncertainty, loss of credibility and flight flight, the three aforementioned firms have transferred or sold their main business lines to other competitors: Cibanco sold their fiduciary business to Multiva and Kapital Bank acquired a good part of the Intercam business.
