The dollar exchange rate at BBVA Bancomer depends on what you are doing. If your family receives a remittance in a BBVA account in Mexico, the rate is set by the company that sends the money, not by the bank. On November 9, 2026, Sharemoney pays 18.40 pesos per dollar for deposits to BBVA, or 19.10 on a first transfer.
If you are changing cash dollars at a BBVA branch, it is different: on Friday, November 6, 2026, BBVA México bought dollars at 17.67 pesos and sold them at 19.11 pesos.
Two Different Dollar Prices at BBVA
Most people who look up the dollar exchange rate at BBVA Bancomer see two numbers and do not know which one applies to them. The “compra” price is what the bank pays when you sell it your dollars. The “venta” price is what you pay when you buy dollars from it. Neither is the rate your family gets when you send money from the USA.
| Rate type | Pesos per dollar | Who it applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Banco de México reference rate (FIX, November 6, 2026) | 18.71 | Market benchmark, not a retail price |
| BBVA México “compra” (buys your dollars) | 17.67 | Someone exchanging cash dollars at a branch |
| BBVA México “venta” (sells you dollars) | 19.11 | Someone buying dollars in Mexico |
| Sharemoney transfer to a BBVA account | 18.40 (19.10 on a first transfer) | Your family, when you send from the USA |
On $500, that is 8,835 pesos if your family exchanges cash at a BBVA branch at the November 6 rate, versus 9,200.80 pesos with a Sharemoney deposit at today’s standard rate, before the $1.99 transfer fee. You can check the official benchmark on the Banco de México exchange rate page.

What Your Family Needs to Receive the Deposit
- An active BBVA México account in pesos.
- The 18-digit CLABE of that account, which appears in the BBVA app and on the account statement.
- The account holder’s full name, written the same way the bank has it.
Many families still call it Bancomer, but the bank has operated as BBVA México since 2019. In the app, look for BBVA.
The 1% Remittance Tax and How to Avoid It Legally
Since January 1, 2026, the USA charges a 1% federal excise tax on remittances paid in cash, by check or by money order. Transfers paid with a debit card, credit card or US bank account are exempt. The IRS explains the excise tax rules in Publication 510. Sending to BBVA from an app with your card keeps that 1% in your family’s pocket.

Not usually. The deposit arrives in pesos in their account. The sender pays the Sharemoney fee: $1.99 for a bank deposit, or $0 on a first transfer of up to $500 with a debit card.
Is it better to exchange dollars at BBVA or send them digitally?
For most families, sending digitally leaves more pesos than carrying cash and exchanging it at a branch, because the branch buying rate is usually well below the transfer rate. Compare the exact numbers on the day you send.
