When to pick Santander
The good part: the promos cover smaller amounts too, from 30,000 pesos up.
When to pick HSBC México
HSBC understands clients with USD accounts or steady remittances better — proving income in foreign currency isn't a headache. For recently approved residents, it's also one of the fastest to open a line without a Mexican co-signer.
My recommendation
There is no verified cost winner in this comparison. Request written quotes from Santander and HSBC México, then compare CAT, fees and total repayment.
