What do they accuse of a vector?

The United States Department of the Treasury has indicated Cas Banco, Intercam and Vector Casa de Bolsa for allegedly allowing money laundering operations related to drug trafficking, specifically linked to fentanyl traffic.

These accusations resulted in a management intervention of the three institutions by the National Banking and Securities Commission on June 26, 2025, with the aim of protecting the operation and stability of the Mexican financial system.

As a result, significant divisions of these institutions were sold, including the Fiduciary Division of CI BANCO to Banco Multiva, and the Ministry of Finance confirmed in August 2025 that the process of selling assets of CI BANCO and Intercam continues. These measures seek to protect the interests of customers and comply with the international sanctions imposed by the US government.
