Documented cause
RegTechMX built regulatory compliance software for Mexican financial institutions — SAT tax reporting, CNBV regulatory filing, and AML monitoring. The company grew to 28 enterprise clients. Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, and EY Mexico had all developed proprietary compliance tools bundled with their audit engagements at zero marginal cost. Mexican enterprises chose the bundled option from their existing auditor over a separate SaaS subscription.
Lesson
“RegTech in Mexico must target mid-market companies not served by Big Four audit — companies with $20-100M revenue that use local auditors without bundled compliance tools represent the only viable regtech segment.”
