Heading

Alberto Guerra, CEO of UniTeller Financial Services, a subsidiary of Grupo Financiero Banorte, one of the largest Financial Groups in Latin America and the second-largest in Mexico, began his career with Banorte.

During his tenure in Banorte, he held different positions in International Banking, Corporate, and Investment Banking. Alberto was part of Banorte’s M&A and Structured Finance Group that executed GF Banorte’s expansion into the U.S., which resulted in the acquisition of Inter National Bank, a National Chartered Bank in 2006, and UniTeller in 2007. In March of 2007, Alberto became the President & CEO of UniTeller Financial Services. 

UniTeller has since been transformed from a small cash to cash traditional remittance business processing $250 Million in payments a year, into a major global cross border processing platform serving Financial Institutions, Remittance and Cross-Border Companies, FinTech, Corporations and Individuals with Cross Border payment and digital solutions with payments over $12 billion USD per year. 

Alberto has a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and a Master’s Degree in Business and Finance from the Monterrey Institute of Technology (Monterrey, Mexico), a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Florida, an Executive Business Degree from the IPADE (Pan-American Business Institute in Mexico), a Graduate School of Banking Degree from Louisiana State University and the American Bankers Association, and a Joint Business Extension Program from the University of Monterrey and the Extension Business School of Harvard University. 

Based in Austin, TX, and San Francisco, CA, Alberto is a dual citizen of both, USA and Mexico.
