Mexican banking board leadership changes

Entities: Fernando Chico Pardo · Banamex (Banco Nacional de México) · Banamex · Ignacio Deschamps González · Jaime Serra Puche

Overview

In late July 2026, Ignacio Deschamps González ended his 29‑month tenure as chairman of Banamex’s Board of Directors, having overseen the bank’s split from Citi and a push for modernization. Fernando Chico Pardo, who became the reference shareholder of Grupo Financiero Banamex in December 2025, succeeded Deschamps as president of Banamex’s board and group leadership.

Simultaneously, BBVA Mexico announced the departure of long‑time board chair Jaime Serra Puche, who had served on the board for 19 years and led it for eight. The change triggers a board renewal at BBVA Mexico that still requires regulatory approval before a new chair is appointed.
