Notas a los Estados Financieros<br />

Grupo Financiero Banorte<br />

At the end of the year we had 1,316 branches, 174 of which correspond to <strong>Ixe</strong>. For 2013, more<br />

<strong>Ixe</strong> branches will be opened in existing markets and in cities where GFNorte has a solid presence.<br />

ATMs<br />

In <strong>2012</strong>, the number of ATMs increased from 6,367 to 6,707, and the number of transactions<br />

amounted to over 450 million.<br />

Banorte-<strong>Ixe</strong> has the second largest network<br />

of ATMs in Mexico serving more than<br />

6.5 million customers a month.<br />

In 2013, the technology upgrade of the most obsolete equipment will be concluded, continuing<br />

to advance strategies to make operations more efficient and we will increase the number of<br />

ATM machines in locations that are saturated due to the accelerated growth in plastics.<br />

Point of Sale Terminals<br />

In <strong>2012</strong> transactions grew by almost 40%, more than 15% over the market ranking our institution<br />

third in Mexico with a 12% market share. This was driven by better point of sale and e-commerce<br />

dynamics.<br />

In 2013 we will seek to strengthen our integrated offerings so as to achieve greater penetration<br />

and customer loyalty. Our main challenge is to ensure efficient growth and differentiation of<br />

services by segment.<br />

Third Party Correspondents<br />

Banorte has positioned itself as a major player in the third party correspondent market. In <strong>2012</strong><br />

Telecomm-Telégrafos and 7-Eleven transactions rose by more than 26% compared to 2011.<br />

In order to create a product especially designed for markets that still have no access to traditional<br />

banking services, a new Level 2 Deposit account was created under the brand Fondo Personal<br />

MiFon (Personal Fund) linked to a debit card and with the following characteristics:<br />

• Aimed at people with limited access to financial services.<br />

• Can be opened just by making a call, and without having to go to a bank branch.<br />

• Transactions can be conducted through a cellular phone using SMS or through Banorte’s<br />

network of third party correspondents and ATMs, thus increasing our infrastructure and<br />

services to all corners of Mexico.<br />

• Customers can make purchases in thousands of establishments affiliated with MasterCard.
