Salon D-12 is the regulator presentation room of a fintech under construction in Polanco: 40 seats with a side table for engineers and compliance officers, a 6-metre LED screen with the system architecture, video terminal with the remote development team, a source code hold room with key and biometric, a soundproofed coffee break foyer, and two accesses: main with biometric turnstile and freight with logbook. This is where the engineering team presentations to CNBV for IFPE (Electronic Payment Fund Institutions) authorisation run, where regulatory sandbox sessions for beta products happen, where Series A and Series B investment roadshows with VC funds (Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Kaszek, ALLVP, Cometa) sit, where Banco de Mexico appearances for settlement account opening happen, where LFPIORPI compliance workshops for the KYC team take place, and where the fintech's board sessions for new product approval gather. What separates Salon D-12 from the technology is the regulatory compliance: the engineering team kit is delivered signed by the CTO at the start, signed again at close, and filed with the fintech seal to support CNBV or Banco de Mexico audits.
Production of 35 to 45 pieces for software engineers, DevOps, information security officers, AML compliance officers. Technical backpack with laptop and dual-monitor compartments, roller pen engraved with the fintech isotype, professional notebook with grid paper, encrypted USB drive with the IFPE documentation for CNBV, ceramic mug with the crest, financial calculator with discreet logo. Delivery to the CTO before the CNBV presentation with signed receipt.
Production of 4 to 8 pieces for VC funds (Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Kaszek, ALLVP, Cometa, Magma Partners, DILA Capital), bank strategic investors (BBVA Spark, Santander x, Citi Ventures, Goldman Sachs Principal), business angels. Box with a custom-edited book on the Mexican fintech ecosystem, paperweight with the fintech isotype, ceramic mug with crest, curated Valle de Guadalupe bottle or aged spirit, calligraphed card with the investor's name. Delivery to the investor's assistant at the hotel lobby, USMCA-compliant when crossing the border.
Production of 2 to 4 pieces for the standout engineer of the year, the CTO who secured the IFPE authorisation, the compliance officer who achieved the AML certification. Engraved aluminium plaque with bas-relief text, edited book on the Fintech Law, wooden box with aged wine or signature spirit, calligraphed card with monogram. Delivery to the CEO privately with the board present.
Production of 10 to 18 pieces for the product team, risk analysts, KYC officers, fintech customer care staff. Navy or white oxford shirt, vest with pockets, badge with photo and event credential, smartwatch with the day's agenda synced. Delivery to back-of-house 60 minutes before doors open, professionally pressed.
Salon D-12 runs on a dedicated service elevator: freight travels up the west-wing service elevator with restricted hours and the CTO's logbook; there is no informal access and the biometric turnstiles record every entry and exit with photo. Light freight (team kits, staff merch, bottled water) goes up with ID, credential and the fintech operations lead signature. The merch is staged in the source code hold room and the delivery is signed with rotating code. The room has a biometric-key archive for the IFPE documents and a rotating code to access the private source code repository; engineers sign each document exit with reinforced NDA.
For presentations with international VC fund presence (Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Kaszek, ALLVP, Cometa), we handle invoicing in USD at the Banco de Mexico FIX rate from the day before delivery, with USMCA compliance when the merch crosses the border, and support for deduction as Fundraising or IFPE Compliance expense in the fintech fiscal close. For presentations with CNBV or Banco de Mexico presence, we handle compliance with the fintech security protocol and the Policia Bancaria e Industrial protocol when applicable. The chain of custody is documented with signature, time stamp and IFPE folio at every checkpoint.
Salon D-12 enforces IFPE and information security compliance rules the merch must respect: no portable storage devices that are not corporate-issued, no merch with noise or visual distraction elements, no backpacks or bags inside the room (engineers use hallway lockers), no POP material carrying competitor or unauthorised investment fund logos (per the legal area), no outside food or beverages beyond the fintech kitchen service. For sessions that require limited-edition merchandising (IFPE launch polo, book signed by the former CNBV head, paperweight stamped with the year of the Fintech Law publication), we coordinate with the fintech CTO and CNBV to ensure the piece clears the compliance protocol and the information security protocol.
For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with the 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as Fundraising, IFPE Compliance or Platform Launch expense depending on how the merch is used. For fintechs with international operations or US market exposure, we handle complementary invoicing in USD with USMCA compliance support when the investor kit crosses the border. For fintechs constituted abroad (Delaware, Cayman), we handle bilingual (es/en) invoicing and carta porte 3.0 with the foreign trade complement when the merch ships internationally. The payment complement applies when the fintech pays in instalments or when delivery happens against the CTO's signed receipt.
Engineering team kit — from USD 193 per piece before VAT at a 40-piece run. VC investor merch — from USD 414 per piece at a 6-piece run. Engineer of the year recognition — from USD 685 per piece at a 3-piece run. Fintech staff merch — from USD 158 per person at a 14-piece run. Pricing does not include the Salon D-12 rental nor the floor coffee bar service, which is quoted directly with the fintech operations office depending on the day, the hours, the external guest count and the CNBV presentation services when applicable.
For regulatory presentations on high-demand dates (IFPE authorisation with CNBV, Banco de Mexico sandbox, Series A and Series B roadshows) we block the calendar 14 days ahead with a firm written commitment. For ordinary quarterly board sessions we block 7 days ahead. Express production under 5 days carries a +35% surcharge for the curation and dispatch. The reservation runs on a fourteen-point brief: presentation date, session type, engineer count, external guest count, pieces per package, fintech brand manual, IFPE protocol, freight logistics, SAT invoicing, USMCA compliance and carta porte when the merch crosses the border.
