Cancún, QRoo — The National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Users of Financial Services (Condusef) received 4,350 complaints throughout the state of Quintana Roo from January to September of this year, representing a 3.0 percent decrease compared to the same period in 2024.
The most disputed financial products were debit cards, credit cards, and special credit reports, which together accounted for 48.0 percent of the total complaints filed.
The primary reasons for complaints from January to September 2025 were unrecognized charges, failure to update credit history, and unrecognized electronic transfers. These three issues collectively represented 25.2 percent of the complaints in the state.
Sector Breakdown and Leading Institutions
By sector, Multiple Banking accumulated 58.1 percent of the complaints, followed by Insurance Companies with 12.6 percent and Credit Information Societies with 11.1 percent.
Furthermore, within the banking sector, 44 percent of the complaints were related to potential fraud, primarily concerning unrecognized charges and unrecognized electronic transfers in Quintana Roo, according to data from the agency itself.
The institution with the most complaints was BBVA, with a total of 504, reflecting a 7.7 percent increase compared to the January-September period in 2024.
