The country has entered the final phase of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) fifth round of mutual evaluations, with plenary sessions scheduled for late October 2026 to assess regulatory compliance and the effectiveness of national prevention systems. In response to these evaluations and broader security needs, the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF) and the National Guard have established a collaboration agreement to enhance information exchange regarding illicit resources and beneficial ownership. Additionally, new General Rules for the Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Operations with Resources of Illicit Origin (LFPIORPI) are set to take effect on November 30, 2026. These regulations mandate that companies with high cash flows, particularly in sectors like real estate, jewelry, and gambling, automate compliance controls. The rules also include prohibitions on cash transactions exceeding specific limits and require improved traceability of financial operations to prepare for audits by the Tax Administration Service (SAT) and the UIF. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: Mexico implements new anti-money laundering regulations New Mexican regulations require high-cash-flow companies to automate compliance and traceability to prevent money laundering, effective November 30. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mexico-implements-new-anti-money-laundering-regulations ### 2026-10-20: Mexico enters final phase of FATF money laundering evaluation Mexico is in the final phase of a FATF evaluation regarding money laundering prevention.
