The payout rails in Mexico

SPEI

Paid out by Kraken.

SPEI, the Sistema de Pagos Electronicos Interbancarios, is Mexico's interbank electronic transfer system, administered and operated by Banco de Mexico. Banks, brokerages and other regulated institutions use it to move pesos between accounts held at different institutions, and it is the rail behind an ordinary peso transfer sent from a Mexican banking app. Mexican exchanges use it for peso deposits and withdrawals.

The rail itself: Banxico's SPEI rules require a receiving bank to credit a low value transfer within five seconds, at any hour on any day, with a thirty second limit for other participants during the 06:00 to 18:00 window on banking days.
