From the mid-90s onwards, Spanish and American banks led a foreign
takeover of the region’s sector, most notably in Argentina and Mexico
where local investors today retain less than 20% of banking assets. Though
retail in name, most Latin Banks, foreign or otherwise, has traditionally
focused on corporate clients and the moneyed elite, providing boutique
services at high margins. Future growth will have to come from a wider
client base of mid-size companies and working class consumers by offering
higher-risk credit tools and introducing new products like Insurance. .
Since 1995, InfoAmericas has helped global financial services firms to
read the competitive landscape and pinpoint opportunities across a diverse
range of markets in Latin America. Our consultants have analyzed many of
the segments in both consumer and corporate finance including: Wealth
management, Consumer credit, Trade finance, Insurance, Corporate lending
and Investment banking services.
