Grupo Financiero Banorte is one of Mexico’s leading banks, supporting local families and businesses since 1899. In this video, the group’s chairman, Carlos Hank González, reflects on Banorte’s history, successes, people, and mission for the following 125 years.

Carlos Hank González: 125 years ago, our journey began with a vision to be more than just a bank. We set out to be a trusted companion, walking alongside our customers, every step of the way. Growing together, growing with Mexico, growing with you.

For 125 years, we have accompanied families, helping them achieve their dreams and supporting businesses in reaching their goals. In challenging times, we’ve been there as a steadfast ally.

Our story is one of transformation and progress. We’ve evolved, modernised, and embraced innovation, but our core remains unchanged: putting our customers at the heart of everything we do.

From our beginnings, as a small local bank in Monterrey, we’ve grown to become Mexico’s leading financial group, a digital pioneer, and the strongest bank in the country. And our journey is far from over.

The true strength of Banorte isn’t found in numbers or awards won, but in the people, who have shaped this story with us: our dedicated collaborators, investors, trusted partners, and each of the customers who have placed their confidence in us.

Mexico is our home, and here we’ll stay. We’re rooted in this land, committed to building a brighter future because we believe that hidden opportunities are always present, and Banorte has always known how to seize it.

Our history is intertwined with Mexico’s. Every decision, every loan, every business we’ve supported, and every project we’ve financed has left a mark, impacting families, businesses, and entire communities. Because when they thrive, so does Mexico – and so does Banorte.

Our commitment to Mexico is unwavering, and while we honor the past, our eyes are set on the future. Our story continues along with Mexico’s evolution.

Challenges lie ahead, and we are ready to face them. Together, we will continue to do the ordinary in an extraordinary way.

At Banorte, the next 125 years will be written, again, hand in hand with Mexico.
