The non-performing loan portfolio of direct financing granted by commercial banks to the private sector reached 194,565 million pesos (mdp) in July 2026, its highest level since comparable records began, according to the Bank of Mexico (Banxico). [1] The National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) and the Bank of Mexico published a revised draft of general provisions applicable to payment networks on an unspecified date in 2026. [2] The revised draft increases the credit card interchange fee cap to 1.30% per transaction, up from the previous proposal of 0.60%. [3] During the same period, the total credit portfolio increased 3.6% real annually, meaning the non-performing portfolio grew approximately 3.6 times faster than total financing. [4] The amount represented a 12.84% real annual increase compared to the 167,206 mdp recorded in July 2025, showing growth considerably higher than the rest of the banking credit. [5] The non-performing portfolio equals 2.49% of the total portfolio, which amounts to around 7.8 trillion pesos, a ratio that experts consider does not yet represent a crisis signal for the banking system. [6] The new draft maintains an aggregate cap of 1.00% on the amount operated over twelve months. [7] Álvaro Vertiz, a partner at DGA Group, stated that the draft still requires greater precision regarding calculation formulas, definitions of payment instruments, and institutional coordination.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
