Based in Monterrey, Nuevo León, BanRegio is a regional bank that
positioned itself as one of the most trusted banking institutions
supporting small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico. In
2016, BanRegio launched an SBDC pilot program in partnership with
the World Trade Center of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León
(WTC UANL). Based on the U.S. SBDC model, BanRegio finances the
program while the WTC UANL runs operations. The Center supports a proactive role of the bank as
an active contributor to the growth of the SMEs.
• Within the SBDC Center, 11 full-time advisors provide assistance across multiple areas including
administration, marketing, human resources, finances, and more.
• In addition, thanks to the partnership with the University, the advisors collaborate with student
interns who provide support in areas of client attraction, logo design, label
development, website improvement, and market research.
• Following the SBDC’s success, the BanRegio management team converted the project into
a formal program of the bank and expanded it into the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios
Superiores de Occidente (ITESO) in Guadalajara, which now has an SBDC center.
• In 2017, the Center assisted 249 clients, trained 1,591 training participants, and helped
businesses create 331 jobs, retain 1,469 jobs, and access $830,000 (USD) in capital.

The proof of concept that advising Banregio´s SME clients through a partnership with the SBDCMonterrey-
UANL came to fruition when the bank´s Commercial Intelligence Unit showed more than
40% increase in new loans, account balance, and bank services in a year; vis a vis comparable
SMEs that were not advised by the SBDC.
