This full-scale deployment - now live for over 18 months - has equipped MONEX with enhanced operational efficiency, increased customer engagement and the agility to scale its trade finance business. The collaboration marks a significant milestone in MONEX's digital transformation journey and is helping drive strategic business expansion.
A valued Surecomp customer for over 15 years, MONEX has transitioned from a legacy back-office system to Surecomp's flagship solution DOKA-NG™ for internal trade finance processing. This is complemented by seamless integration with its front-end customer portal allNETT™.
The decision was prompted by MONEX's ambition to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving trade landscape, which increasingly demands speed, transparency and digital interoperability. As Mexico strengthens its position as a manufacturing hub, affordable trade finance could unlock billions of dollars and over 7% growth in annual exports according to a recent report by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and World Trade Organization (WTO). By leveraging Surecomp's modern, cloud-native solution offering, MONEX is better positioned to help bridge this gap and meet the needs of SMEs and other corporates seeking comprehensive trade finance services.
'Partnering with Surecomp has not only fueled growth in traditional trade finance over the past year, but has provided a solid foundation for us to enter into new market segments,' explains Karla Hernandez, Vice President of Trade Finance at MONEX and Chair of the Mexican FCI, a global factoring association. 'As our business expands into the factoring and supply chain finance arena, we needed a robust, future-ready platform. Surecomp is empowering us to provide a seamless, customer-centric experience while streamlining internal operations and ensuring regulatory compliance. The result is a modernized digital infrastructure that accelerates transaction processing, reduces manual intervention, and delivers an improved customer experience.'
'We are delighted to support MONEX in its continued growth and innovation,' said Matias Hutín, Surecomp's Commercial Head for Latin and North America. 'Its commitment to delivering customer value through technology reflects the broader industry shift towards digital transformation, and we're proud to be a partner on this journey.'

Exclusive: Frustrated by Mexico's Pemex, Hokchi Energy pushed to change who buys its oil, sources say
MEXICO CITY, June 11 (Reuters) - Mexico's Hokchi Energy, frustrated by months of delayed payments for its oil and gas from state company Pemex, has sought to change its contract so it can do business directly with the company's commercial arm, PMI Comercio Internacional, three sources familiar with the matter said. Hokchi Energy's bid to change who buys its production highlights the challenges of doing business with Pemex, even as the government wants to attract private investment to help the state company increase output. PMI, which exports crude oil and imports refined fuels such as gasoline and diesel, is widely seen as a more reliable business partner than Pemex, one source said. The attempt to change the contract is the latest twist in a long-running saga of Pemex's delayed payments to Hokchi Energy, one of Mexico's largest oil and gas producers, which is among a growing number of companies reluctant to work with Pemex, the world's most indebted energy company. One source said Pemex owes Hokchi Energy over $300 million. Under the proposed new contract, Hokchi Energy would sell directly to PMI, in the same way as if it were selling to any global trader, the sources said. Under the existing contract, Hokchi Energy sells its production to Pemex and is dependent on getting paid by Pemex, which can use the production in its own refineries or sell it via PMI to buyers worldwide. The sources said that Hokchi Energy had already tried twice to change terms of the contract, making its second attempt earlier this year in hopes Mexico's new government would be more inclined to accommodate the request, but the request was denied. All sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter is commercially sensitive. Mexican Energy Minister Luz Elena Gonzalez denied the request this year, according to the other two sources. Neither the energy ministry nor Pemex responded to a request for comment. Hokchi Energy operates the shallow-water Hokchi field in the Salina del Istmo basin in the Gulf of Mexico, secured through the 2014 landmark energy reform that opened the country up to private investment. The field produces some 23,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Hokchi Energy said in a statement that "our dialogue with Pemex is constant and productive" and "our operations have been maintained." Harbour Energy, which also has a stake in the field, declined to comment. The total debt Pemex owes to Hokchi Energy amounts to around $380 million, said the second source, adding that the exact value fluctuates because it is for crude, which is priced daily. Pemex itself disclosed debts invoiced to the company of $92.41 million in 2024 and $88.66 million this year, official data from March showed. The source said the real debt is higher than disclosed because some outstanding invoices have not been included. In 2023, Hokchi Energy took legal action against Pemex to demand it pay the money it owed. Hokchi Energy filed another lawsuit in recent months, the second source added. Pemex has for years struggled to pay providers for everything from hydrocarbon productions to services and infrastructure, according to interviews with dozens of separate sources across the sector. In dire need of new investment and technology, Pemex's production has been declining as older fields are being depleted and newer discoveries have largely disappointed. Reuters reported last month that Pemex planned to open old wells in a bid to boost output. Pemex also owes some $20 billion to service providers like Baker Hughes, Halliburton and SLB, official filings show, as well as smaller Mexican companies, some of which have warned that they could go bankrupt as a result of Pemex not paying. Even when owed substantial amounts, companies are reluctant to speak out or take legal action for fear of being penalized by the state behemoth that dominates the energy market, the industry sources said. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has repeatedly said that her government was working on various payment mechanisms to address the issue. Despite unprecedented support from her predecessor and political mentor, energy nationalist President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Pemex still has a financial debt of some $101 billion.

Global fast food brand looks set to move into Stirling's newest drive thru
ChicKing is heralded as the first fully Halal international quick service restaurant - and is now hoping to open a drive thru branch in Springkerse. A new takeaway drive thru could be heading to Stirling. Foodfixx (Stirling) Ltd holds the franchise to operate the new food restaurant brand - ChicKing. ChicKing is the first fully Halal international quick service restaurant (QSR) brand. Planning permission for the drive thru buildings, on land next to and east of 15 Borrowmeadow Road at Springkerse, was granted in December 2024. Now, however, an advertisement application submitted to Stirling Council planners shows that the unit, which has been built on the corner of Munro Road, hopes to accommodate the ChicKing brand. In documents submitted with the application, agents said: 'There are over 230 ChicKing outlets in over 30 countries globally. 'Since securing the master franchise for ChicKing in July 2024, Foodfixx Ltd has demonstrated remarkable commercial growth. It has expanded from 9 to 17 locations across England and Ireland and is moving into Scotland with this store in Stirling. 'Each new store opening creates eight-plus new jobs. The ChicKing website boasts: 'Passionately conceptualised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the first Chicking® outlet was established in the year 2000, and since then, our brand has grown to become extremely popular in 35+ countries with more than 300+ outlets. 'This impressive growth was achieved by understanding what families prefer. We are also a big favorite amongst individuals who are looking for a tasty alternative to formulaic fast food. 'Chicking® is proud to be one of the first fully Halal international quick-service restaurant (QSR) brands. We serve fresh, great-tasting food, using only the finest quality herbs and spices, carefully selected from around the world, to deliver exciting flavors in a modern setting. 'We currently serve more than 20,00,000 totally devoted, utterly convinced customers per month. It seems our loyal and rapidly multiplying patrons appreciate the fact that we offer an exciting and varied menu inspired by taste cultures from around the world: authentic American, mouthwatering Mexican, inspiring Indian, and irresistible Italian. 'Our innovative creations cater to a much wider audience than those traditionally targeted by most QSRs, but it is the warmth and service that brings families back for more and more. 'All food at ChicKing is made fresh to order, only fresh and not frozen chicken is used.'
