KYC and Anti-Money-Laundering Compliance

Mexico Trust Services is committed to full compliance with Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) regulations in both the United States and Mexico, to protect our clients and ensure lawful transactions.

U.S. Compliance

As a California-based intermediary, we follow:

• Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)
• USA PATRIOT Act
• FinCEN guidelines
• OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) sanctions screening

Mexico Compliance

We coordinate with Mexican counterparties under:

• LFPIORPI (Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Operations with Resources of Illicit Origin)
• The notary's own KYC obligations under Mexican law

What This Means For You

• We collect and verify identity documents (passport, proof of address) before service begins
• We screen against US OFAC sanctions lists
• We document the source of funds for property transactions
• We reserve the right to decline or terminate services if we cannot verify identity, source of funds, or if a transaction raises compliance concerns
