Root Cause

Banxico's anti-money laundering regulations (Circular 4/2019) impose a daily cash deposit limit of 15,000 MXN for non-account holders using SPEI, which freelancers often exceed when receiving lump-sum payments from clients.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 85% fail

    Banxico's system aggregates all SPEI deposits from a single sender to a single recipient within a day; splitting does not bypass the cumulative limit.

  2. 95% fail

    This violates Banxico's KYC rules and can result in account freezing or fines for both parties.

  3. 70% fail

    International wires are subject to different limits but incur high fees (up to $50 USD) and longer settlement times (3-5 days), defeating the purpose of SPEI's instant transfers.
