Monte de Piedad Strike Keeps 300+ Branches Closed and Vaults Sealed

Sealed vaults prevent immediate item returns under current labor and authority restrictions.

Overview

  • The labor strike that began on October 1, 2025 has left more than 300 Monte de Piedad branches closed and suspended all in-person services.
  • Branch vaults are reported closed by order of the competent authority so neither union representatives nor management can remove stored pawned items.
  • Nacional Monte de Piedad continues to offer remote options for customers to check contracts and pay interest through Mi Monte Web, Mi Monte App, phone lines, Banamex, OXXO, and SPEI.
  • Profeco’s ConciliaExprés lets customers who fully paid their loans file a claim to seek return of items but filing does not guarantee immediate delivery while the strike and authority restrictions remain in place.
  • Interest and refrendo charges keep accruing during the suspension, so customers should preserve payment receipts and contract numbers and use remote payment channels to avoid losing rights to their items.
