Mexico received $5.362 billion in remittances in September

November 3, 2026. Mexico received $5.362 billion in remittances in September, according to Banco de México. The amount was below August’s $5.452 billion. The figures are preliminary and subject to revision.

The central bank recorded approximately 12.58 million transactions in September, with an average transfer of $426, compared with $412 in August. These monthly figures are not seasonally adjusted.

Why it matters

Remittances are a source of income for many Mexican households and contribute to family spending in recipient communities.

Rockstar Briefing analysis

The decline from August came alongside a higher average transfer and fewer transactions. An unadjusted month-to-month comparison alone cannot establish a trend; revised data, year-on-year comparisons and labor markets in sending countries deserve attention.
