Salon D-2: the room where the bank's AML compliance officer trains and the participant workbook lands before the coffee

Salon D-2 occupies the training wing of a financial-sector corporate tower on Insurgentes Sur: 70 classroom-format seats with individual workstations, a 75-inch interactive screen with live polling software, three simultaneous interpretation booths for foreign trainers (English, Portuguese and French), an exam room with supervisory cameras, barcode attendance logging, a soundproofed coffee break foyer, and two accesses: a main one with biometric turnstile and a freight one with logbook. This is where LFPIORPI training courses for compliance officers of banks and brokerages run, where AML workshops for UIF designates inside financial institutions happen, where KYC and PEP training for the client onboarding teams of IFPE-licensed fintechs takes place, and where internal sanction training for compliance officers of money transmitters happens. What separates Salon D-2 from a comfortable classroom is the documentary traceability: the participant workbook is delivered signed by the trainer at the start, signed again at close, and filed with the corporate seal to support CNBV audits.

Salon D-2 logistics, access and documentary custody

Salon D-2 runs on a service elevator with restricted hours: freight travels up the west-wing service elevator, not the main one; the freight elevator has a logbook and the operations lead's signature. Light freight (participant workbooks, staff merch, bottled water) goes up the service elevator with visible ID and credential. The internal training team signs the merch entry and walks the material to the Salon D-2 holding room, where it is staged on a side table before doors open. The exam room has supervisory cameras that record the diploma hand-over and the trainer's signature, backed up on the corporate server for three years to support CNBV or UIF audits.

For trainings with international trainer presence (US law firms, Big Four consultants with London or Madrid headquarters, SEC auditors), 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 AML Training, LFPIORPI Training or Compliance Officer Training expense in the corporate fiscal close. For trainings with UIF or CNBV officials in attendance, we handle compliance with the corporate security protocol and the Policia Bancaria e Industrial protocol when applicable. The chain of custody is documented with signature, time stamp and folio number at every checkpoint.

Salon D-2 confidentiality, compliance and restrictions

Salon D-2 enforces compliance rules the merch must respect: phones off inside the room during final exams, no merch with noise or visual distraction elements, no backpacks or bags inside the room (attendees use the floor cloakroom), no POP material carrying unauthorised third-party logos (per compliance area), no outside food or beverages beyond the corporate kitchen service. For trainings that require limited-edition merchandising (20th anniversary plaque of the AML programme, book signed by the outgoing compliance officer, paperweight stamped with the year of the LFPIORPI amendment), we coordinate with the corporate compliance office to ensure the piece clears the compliance protocol and the audit protocol when the merch is filed with the participant's file.

For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with the 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as AML Training, LFPIORPI Training or Compliance Officer Training expense depending on how the merch is used. For corporates with IMMEX operations or US market exposure, we handle complementary invoicing in USD with USMCA compliance support when the trainer kit crosses the border as part of the international training material. For groups with dual listings (BMV and NYSE/Nasdaq), 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 corporate pays in instalments or when delivery happens against a training certificate signature.
