When to pick Santander
Santander wins in a campaign window — the bank launches mortgage promotions 2-3 times a year with initial bonus (1-3% of the amount) that effectively reduces total cost.
When to pick Banorte
Banorte wins outside Santander campaigns. For Monterrey corridor residents with previous bank relationship, the natural option.
My recommendation
Wait for Santander campaign: Santander with bonus. Outside campaign or non-salaried: Banorte. There is no verified cost winner in this comparison. Request written quotes from Santander and Banorte, then compare CAT, fees and total repayment.
