When to pick BBVA México
On a 2.5 million property with a 20% down payment, the gap with Santander over 20 years runs past 280 thousand pesos. It does ask for a bit more income documentation.
When to pick Santander
Santander is more lenient on properties outside premium zones, on Infonavit co-financing, and on family co-ownership.
My recommendation
Property in an established zone and clean, verifiable income: BBVA, no contest.
