FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – June 30, 2025
The United States Treasury Department has imposed new sanctions that block American financial institutions from sending money to three major Mexican banks: Intercam, CIBanco, and Vector Casa de Bolsa. Accused of facilitating money laundering for drug cartels, these institutions are now effectively cut off from receiving funds via US banks, leaving many buyers in need of an alternative like MexEdge, which offers secure payment solutions for Mexican real estate transactions.
For thousands of Americans and Canadians buying property in Mexico, this sudden action creates immediate uncertainty and risk. Many have relied on Intercam and CIBanco to handle cross-border payments for real estate closings. With these banks now blocked, buyers face the threat of delayed or canceled transactions, lost deposits, and urgent confusion about how to safely transfer large sums to Mexico.
Beyond the immediate disruption, the sanctions highlight challenges that have always faced foreign buyers in Mexico. Concerns about how to move money securely, avoid delays, and reduce uncertainty have only grown with blocked banking channels. MexEdge was designed specifically to help buyers secure competitive exchange rates, avoid hidden fees, and manage currency volatility for real estate transactions in Mexico with confidence.
MexEdge is bank-independent and fully compliant, providing a secure and reliable channel for cross-border payments even as US sanctions disrupt traditional banking options. MexEdge also enables buyers to lock in exchange rates and use forward contracts to hedge against losses from currency volatility, trade wars, and other economic uncertainties. This brings much-needed stability to property transactions in Mexico.
“We’re already seeing a surge in inquiries from buyers whose payments were routed through CIBanco, Intercam, or Vector,” said George Reavis, Founder and CEO of MexEdge. “We know how stressful it is to have your closing suddenly at risk. That’s why MexEdge is ready to provide a secure, compliant alternative so buyers can complete their property purchases in Mexico with confidence and without delays.”
