The Financial Inclusion Programme for Migrants is an innovative financial services
initiative that provides bank accounts and other support to a unique set of migrants –
Mexican citizens repatriating from the United States amid a political climate that has
added a great degree of uncertainty to their lives. To help these fellow citizens, the
National Savings and Financial Services Bank (Bansefi), a development bank created
by the federal government to reach vulnerable populations, has opened 11
strategically located services branches along the US-
Mexico border and one at the Mexico City airport
to provide them with financial
services and education, which
is a core requirement
of repatriation
THE PROBLEM
More than 11 million people who were born in Mexico
live in the United States. Repatriation (i.e. moving back to
Mexico) affects more than 200 000 Mexicans each year.
Repatriates generally arrive without any belongings and
also without documents, but usually with some money.
A surge in repatriation is a possibility in the near future due
to more aggressive US immigration policies. In early 2017,
the Mexican government calculated that such policies
may affect more than 1 million conationals, as well as a
significant number of “Dreamers” (see Box 27).
In Mexico, the migrant population is considered a
vulnerable group. Historically, it has had to face a variety
of barriers to gain access to financial services, whether
due to a lack of knowledge or information, lack of identity
documents, their immigration status or simply because of
the complicated process of repatriation. These migrants
also frequently lack access to financial services, which can
result in an inability to access other services. No financial
organisations have provided financial services for even the
regular flow of repatriates, let alone the potential increase
represented by the Dreamers.
WHO ARE THE DREAMERS?
In June 2012, the United States issued the Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration
policy, which allowed some non-citizens who arrived
to the United States as children and remained in the
country without documentation to receive renewable
two-year periods of deferred action (i.e. meaning the
government would delay any actions to remove the
individual from the country), as well as a permit to
work legally (DHS, 2017). Over 1 million Dreamers – the
nickname for residents benefiting from DACA – have
been approved for the programme, and live in every
state in the United States. Over 700 000 Dreamers are
from Mexico. In September 2017, the US government
rescinded DACA, which would be phased out and
officially ended after six months (DHS, 2017). Unless the
US Congress takes action, the future of these residents
will be very uncertain once their current deferred action
status expires, potentially leading to an increase in
the number of individuals repatriating to Mexico. The
Mexican government is already seeing an increase in the
repatriation of Dreamers and other Mexican citizens.
