Registration as a Payment Services Provider before the CNBV, card network compliance, and the legal framework your payment infrastructure needs to operate at scale in Mexico.
Mexico's payment ecosystem is regulated by a multi-layer framework involving the CNBV, Banxico, and international card networks (Visa, Mastercard). For companies building card acceptance infrastructure, payment orchestration platforms, or B2B payment rails, navigating this landscape requires specialized expertise.
We advise payment companies, acquirers, gateways, and B2B PSPs on the full legal and regulatory lifecycle — from initial structuring and CNBV registration to card network agreements, merchant contracts, and ongoing compliance.
This is one of LIT's most demanded services and one where our practical experience with regulators and card networks sets us apart from generalist counsel.
Start the Conversation →We've guided payment companies through the CNBV's PSP registration process — including documentation, structuring requirements, and the regulatory correspondence that determines speed of approval.
We understand the B2B payments landscape — multi-party agreements, platform liability, sub-merchant structures, and the contractual frameworks that hold complex payment architectures together.
From pre-launch product review to post-authorization compliance programs — we stay with you through the full lifecycle, not just the registration filing.
A clear path to becoming a registered and compliant PSP in Mexico.
We map your payment flows, identify which regulatory categories apply, and define the optimal registration strategy for your specific model.
We design the legal entity structure required for PSP registration, including AML policies, governance, and the documentation package the CNBV expects.
We manage the registration filing and coordinate card network agreements (acquiring, issuing, or both) in parallel to minimize launch delays.
Post-registration, we build your ongoing compliance infrastructure — internal policies, reporting obligations, and the contractual templates you need to onboard merchants.
