What you pass in the request

A request with clabe, 18 digits goes to SPEI · CLABE in Mexico; the response comes back with the status: completed, typically under 5 minutes.
  • Payouts

    CLABE, 18 digits.

  • Sender identity

    Sender: name only. Recipient name: required.

How the payout works

The number has to agree with itself

The first three digits identify the bank, and the bank code you send must match them. The payment system delivers by CLABE alone, so we refuse a mismatch at creation. We verify the check digit too: a CLABE with a single wrong digit almost never gets through.

Whole pesos

A fractional amount is refused before anything is sent.

Questions and answers

  • Can I send centavos?

    No. This corridor takes whole pesos.

  • Is the recipient's name needed?

    Yes, in Latin characters.

  • How long does it take?
