Thought Leadership February 16, 2026 CRiskCo In any credit operation, two fundamental figures participate: the lender and the borrower. Understanding the roles, obligations, and rights of each is essential for establishing healthy credit relationships and avoiding legal conflicts. ## Who is the lender? The lender is the individual or entity that provides financial resources to another party under agreed conditions. In Mexico, lenders can be banks, [SOFOMs](/en/blog/sofomes-mexico), SOFIPOs, savings cooperatives, fintechs, or even individuals. \### Lender obligations - **Transparency:** Clearly inform about interest rates, commissions, terms, and credit conditions (CAT — Total Annual Cost) - **Written contract:** Formalize the operation in a contract detailing all conditions - **Data protection:** Safeguard the borrower's personal and financial information per the Federal Data Protection Law - **Ethical collection conduct:** Follow CONDUSEF guidelines on collection practices - **Timely delivery:** Disburse resources within agreed timeframes - **Due diligence:** Adequately evaluate the applicant's payment capacity to prevent over-indebtedness \### Lender rights - Receive payment of capital plus agreed interest - Execute guarantees in case of default - Report payment behavior to the credit bureau - Assign or sell the credit portfolio to third parties ## Who is the borrower? The borrower is the party that receives financial resources and commits to returning them under the conditions established in the credit contract. \### Borrower obligations - **Timely payment:** Meet established payment dates and amounts - **Declared use:** Use resources for the agreed purpose (especially in purpose-specific credits) - **Truthful information:** Provide real data about their financial and fiscal situation - **Change notification:** Inform the lender of significant changes in their financial situation - **Guarantee maintenance:** Keep assets given as collateral in good condition \### Borrower rights - Know all credit conditions before signing - Receive a clear and complete contract - Make early payments without excessive penalties - File complaints with CONDUSEF in case of abuse - Request clarifications on charges and transactions ## Regulatory framework in Mexico Relationships between lenders and borrowers in Mexico are regulated by various laws: - **Credit Institutions Law** - **General Law of Auxiliary Credit Organizations and Activities** - **Law for Protection and Defense of Financial Services Users (CONDUSEF)** - **Commercial Code** (for commercial operations) - **Law for Transparency and Regulation of Financial Services** ## How technology balances the relationship Credit intelligence platforms like CRiskCo benefit both parties.
