LFPIORPI · SAT SPPLD ARCHITECTURE

Fourteen years advising reporting entities.

BDUnity was founded in 2012 as an anti-money-laundering consultancy. PLDUnity is how we turned what we learned from every onboarding, every report and every SAT inspection into software any company can run.

Our story

  1. ETAPA 01

    2012

    BDUnity starts advising companies in vulnerable activities as the LFPIORPI comes into force in 2013.

  2. ETAPA 02

    2013–2024

    Onboardings, reports, manuals and audits across industries. We saw the same problems again and again: spreadsheets that don't add up, rejected XML files, incomplete client files and aggregations nobody tracks.

  3. ETAPA 03

    2025–2026

    With the reform of the law, we decided to build the platform we wished we had. PLDUnity goes into production in 2026 with its first client, an online gaming and betting operator.

Platform Architecture

What we believe

01

Compliance is not a cost; it is evidence.

Everything the platform does leaves a verifiable trail.

02

The law changes; the software changes first.

Thresholds, UMA and schemas are updated in the platform before you need to find out.

03

Nobody should be locked in.

Your information exports in full, with an integrity fingerprint, whenever you want.

04

Software with people behind it.

BDUnity is still a consultancy; the platform and the advisory complement each other.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions about BDUnity® and the team behind PLDUnity

6 questions answered for this section
Verified Information · PLDUnity / BDUnity
What is the relationship between BDUnity® consultancy and the PLDUnity platform?

BDUnity® (Business Development Unity S.A. de C.V.) is our AML compliance advisory firm founded in Mexico City in 2012. PLDUnity is the SaaS platform engineered in-house by BDUnity® to turn fourteen years of hands-on experience with SAT inspections, UIF criteria, and AML audits into automated software.

If I subscribe to PLDUnity software, am I required to hire BDUnity® consulting services?

No—they are completely independent. You can subscribe strictly to the PLDUnity platform and run it with your internal compliance officer. Whenever you need specialized advisory, historical regularization, or an external audit, BDUnity® is available on demand at preferred client rates.

Can BDUnity® perform the Annual External Audit mandated starting in 2028?

Yes. Under the LFPIORPI reform implementation schedule, reporting entities must undergo an annual review by an independent external auditor. BDUnity®'s certified specialists conduct full AML/CFT audits and issue the official regulatory audit report.

What credentials and experience does the regulatory team hold?

Our leadership and regulatory specialists have advised reporting entities since the LFPIORPI first took effect in 2013, holding active AML/CFT certifications from the UIF and CNBV and hands-on experience across all 17 vulnerable activities and SAT verification visits.

How do you ensure the platform stays updated when laws, XML schemas, or UMA values change?

Unlike generic software agencies, BDUnity® monitors the Official Gazette (DOF), SAT resolutions, UIF guidelines, and international sanctions daily. Every regulatory update or annual UMA change is deployed automatically to all subscribers at no extra upgrade fee.

Do you offer tailored executive training for boards of directors and commercial teams?

Yes. Alongside the built-in Training module inside PLDUnity (featuring courses, quizzes, and numbered certificates), BDUnity® delivers live executive workshops—in person or remotely—for boards, shareholders, notaries, and compliance teams on the 2025–2027 LFPIORPI reform.
