Strands at Revolution Banking & Retail Forum Mexico 2026

by | Jul 6, 2026

Strands and CRIF will participate in the Revolution Banking & Retail Forum Mexico 2026, taking place on July 22nd at Hotel Marquís Reforma in Mexico City (CDMX). 

As a leading event in the region for the banking and retail industries, Revolution Banking & Retail Mexico brings together executives, innovators, and technology providers to discuss a shared challenge: how data, AI customer experience, and open ecosystems are reshaping the future of financial services.

Strands will join the discussion with a keynote presentation exploring one of the most significant opportunities in SME banking today: helping banks become the digital financial partner of small and medium businesses.

From lender to Digital CFO: a new opportunity for banks

Luis Rodríguez, Product Evangelist at CRIF Strands, will lead a keynote speech on how banks can take a more active role in supporting SME to make smarter financial decisions through data-driven insights.

In the session Luis will address one of the biggest challenges traditional banks are facing: how to evolve and move beyond traditional banking, delivering embedded financial intelligence directly through their digital channels, and act as true strategic partners for SMEs.

By turning transactional data into actionable financial intelligence, banks can help business customers anticipate cash flow, manage payments, and make better decisions on a daily basis. The discussion will also draw on Strands’ experience in supporting financial institutions with digital capabilities that help SMEs operate with greater visibility and control, bringing them closer to a “digital CFO” experience within their everyday banking.

Why it matters now

Mexico is entering a new phase of SME banking: 

This creates a growing focus on Financial Intelligence for SMEs and a unique opportunity for banks: enhancing financial visibility, enabling better cash flow management, and embedding intelligent tools into digital banking channels are becoming key differentiators in how banks attract, serve, and retain business customers. This shift is redefining the role of the bank from being a service provider to a trusted long-term financial partner.
