CRIF and Strands at Revolution Banking & Retail Forum Mexico 2026

CRIF and Strands will participate in Revolution Banking & Retail Forum Mexico 2026, scheduled for July 22 at Hotel Marquís Reforma in Mexico City. The event is recognized as one of the region's key gatherings for banking and retail leaders, bringing together executives, innovators and technology providers to examine how data, artificial intelligence, customer experience and open ecosystems are transforming financial services.

As part of the agenda, CRIF and Strands will deliver a keynote focused on a major opportunity in SME Banking: supporting financial institutions in becoming trusted digital financial partners for small and medium-sized enterprises.

From Lender to Digital CFO: A New Opportunity for Banks

Luis Rodríguez, Product Evangelist at CRIF and Strands, will present how banks can take a more proactive role in helping SMEs make better financial decisions through Data-Driven Insights. The session will explore how financial institutions can move beyond traditional banking services by embedding Embedded Financial Intelligence directly within digital channels and positioning themselves as strategic partners for businesses.

By converting transactional data into actionable intelligence, banks can help companies forecast Cash Flow Management, manage payments more effectively and improve day-to-day decision-making. The presentation will also highlight the experience of CRIF and Strands in enabling banks to deliver digital capabilities that provide SMEs with greater visibility and control, creating an experience similar to that of having a Digital CFO integrated into everyday banking.

Why This Matters Today

Mexico is entering a new phase in SME Banking. Digital Banking adoption continues to accelerate, financial institutions have access to increasingly rich transactional data, and Open Finance initiatives are laying the groundwork for more connected financial ecosystems. At the same time, many Mexican SMEs remain underserved despite their vital contribution to the national economy.

These market dynamics are increasing interest in Financial Intelligence solutions for SMEs and creating a significant opportunity for banks. Improving financial visibility, supporting cash-flow management and integrating intelligent tools into digital banking channels are becoming important differentiators in attracting, serving and retaining business customers.
