Banking news

1)  Courtesy of the Gringo Gazette  -  Rumors! Rumors!  -
The latest one is that all banks in Mexico are kicking out all foreign bank accounts. Not true.
     We have called Banamex, which is supposedly the bank that is first to toss us out, and they deny knowing anything about it. So we called Banamex in Los Angeles. Banamex USA, is a subsidiary of Citibank.. Although we have heard unofficially, from people who know someone who knows someone who has been sent a letter to their U.S. customers telling them their account will be closed “soon”, Banamex is still saying they know nothing about this and we can’t find anyone with this so called letter in hand.
     It could be that everyone is getting this information from a blog called Dollar Vigilante. On that site, the vigilante, as he likes to be called, is claiming it’s a done deal: that foreign bank accounts will be closed June 30. But, the Vigilante has a dog in that fight: He’s selling alternative financial instruments.
     As with all rumors, they start with a kernel of truth. The U.S. IRS is requiring that all foreign banks with accounts held by American citizens to rat out those foreigners to the IRS. So far the Mexican banks have resisted. They don’t want to do it because of the expense of the extra bookkeeping required by them. Some low level banking employees in Cabo have said they think the banks will toss out the foreigners rather than bear that extra expense, but so far FATCA, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, has not been taken seriously by Mexican banks.
     Be aware it is coming, but it doesn’t appear it’s here yet.

"As of today, Bancomer will not be accepting any credit cards or debit cards from the United States or Canada. To obtain money you will need to use your Bancomer card. The bank stated that they will not accept any other Mexican bank card ..... only Bancomer. This may be a temporary restriction. If you have any questions, please contact Bancomer."

announcement today on Loreto Community Group.
since changing US dollars became almost impossible in Loreto, and Banamex left town...I have no idea how many of us, without Bancomer (the only bank in Loreto now) accounts and dependent on ATMs, will obtain pesos.
am sure that this will significantly impart other communities, too.  hopefully this is temporary insanity...
