Good to know

aclaración
If a charge or a payment goes wrong, the bank asks you to file an aclaración. It's usually done at the branch or by phone, and it helps to bring your receipt.
comprobante
After you pay or transfer money you get a comprobante, on paper or by email or the app. Keep it, because it's your proof if something doesn't arrive.
SPEI
This is the system used for transfers between banks in Mexico. They usually arrive within minutes, and the receipt carries a tracking code (clave de rastreo) to follow the payment.
ejecutivo
At a bank, the ejecutivo is the employee who helps you at a desk with paperwork and complaints. You often have to take a number before you can talk to one.
