Overview
- The Mexican Bankers Association says December 25 is an official non-working day set by the CNBV, so most branches will not offer in-person service.
- Banks maintain access through more than 65,000 ATMs, roughly 60,000 banking correspondents, digital and mobile platforms, and 24-hour telephone lines.
- Branch counters located inside supermarkets or department stores may open only if the host retailer operates normally that day.
- Banco Azteca announced on its social media that its branches will open on December 25, a stance that diverges from broader industry guidance.
- Payments due on the holiday can be made the next business day without penalty under Mexican law, and Argentina has comparable holiday closures with electronic channels available.
