Kapital Bank ("Kapital"), a global financial institution, announced it will acquire Grupo Financiero Intercam's brokerage, asset management, and operational banking assets, as announced by the Mexican government on August 19, 2025.

To safeguard the integrity of this transaction, Kapital and Intercam have engaged K2 Integrity, a premier risk advisory and forensic diligence firm, to review and validate the assets. This process ensures that only fully vetted, non-toxic assets are included in the acquisition.

The proposed acquisition is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements as well as customary regulatory approvals. Importantly, Kapital is engaged in constructive discussions with both the U.S. Treasury and Mexican government officials to ensure the transaction is fully aligned with their priorities. Key approvals have already been obtained, including from the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV).

Kapital's next-generation compliance systems are powered by AI-enabled Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) protocols. These systems combine advanced data analytics with a comprehensive compliance framework that includes rigorous KYC due diligence, customer risk assessments, ongoing transaction monitoring, and restricted party screening. Leveraging data from Mexico's SAT electronic invoice system, Kapital proactively screens customers, counterparties, and transactions to identify and prevent illicit finance.

Kapital's compliance program is designed to meet the highest global standards. Its controls are fully aligned with international AML/CFT requirements, including OFAC standards, while providing transparency and accountability to regulators, investors, and clients. None of Intercam's compliance personnel will be joining the bank.

Kapital provides capital to small- and medium-sized businesses while also offering clients visibility into operations, cash flows, loan management, payroll, benefits, and invoicing. The company was recognized by the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer in both 2024 and 2025. Kapital was named to CNBC's Disruptor 50 list in 2024.
