The Mexican Congress unanimously approved a reform prohibiting financial entities from charging unauthorized commissions and banning hidden fees for services like credit cards. This measure strengthens consumer protection by ensuring transparency in contracts and guaranteeing free cancellation rights across all platforms. By eliminating deceptive practices such as unsolicited cards and secret charges, the law empowers users with full control over their financial agreements. Regulatory bodies like Profeco and Condusef are tasked with enforcing these new standards to prevent exploitation by financial institutions. This update is highly relevant to open data because it mandates greater transparency and informed consent in financial transactions. Ensuring that users explicitly authorize charges fosters a culture of accountability, requiring institutions to make data on fees and services more accessible and understandable for the public.
