It seems Banorte Bank in Todos Santos learned the hard way that ignoring civil protection requirements isn’t the best idea. The La Paz civil protection agency issued notices about some unmet requirements, but the bank didn’t take action. Today, they paid the price—doors closed, services suspended, and customers left scratching their heads.
So, what’s next for Todos Santos residents? If you’re a Banorte customer, you’ll have to make the trek to either La Paz or Cabo San Lucas to handle your banking needs. Yep, that’s about a 45-minute drive, one way. For anyone needing to deposit, withdraw, or sort out financial stuff, this news is a major inconvenience.

Word on the street is that the bank will be closed for several days while they scramble to meet the agency’s demands. It’s a classic case of “too little, too late.” Meanwhile, locals are left dealing with the hassle. Bigger sigh.
Let’s hope Banorte gets its act together sooner rather than later. For now, plan your trips wisely if you need banking services, and maybe cross your fingers this doesn’t take longer than expected. Stay tuned for updates—and drive safe on those detour trips!
