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.
