description Rural populations in Mexico face various challenges; one of them is related to financial inclusion, as it enhances various monetary transactions. This research aims to analyze the causality that banking correspondents have regarding the number of credit and debit card contracts and their impact on rural populations, where banking instruments are scarce. Therefore, a reduced VAR model and a Granger causality test were applied. Within the conclusions, it is highlighted that very few rural populations have banking correspondents, although they generate a positive effect since they meet the demands of the population for financial products through the use of credit and debit cards. This research, along with similar ones, agrees that financial inclusion is favored by applying the model of banking correspondents.

Las poblaciones rurales en México enfrentan diversos desafíos; entre los que destaca la inclusión financiera, ya que, a través de ella, se pueden realizar diversas transacciones monetarias. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el efecto que tienen los corresponsales bancarios respecto al número de contratos de tarjetas de crédito y de débito, con la finalidad de observar su impacto en las poblaciones rurales donde los instrumentos bancarios son escasos. Por ello, se aplicó un modelo VAR reducido y una prueba de causalidad Granger. Entre las conclusiones se destaca, que muy pocas poblaciones rurales cuentan con corresponsales bancarios, pese a que generan un efecto positivo, ya que atienden a las demandas de productos financieros de la población, tales como las tarjetas de crédito y débito. Esta investigación, junto con otras similares, coinciden que se favorece la inclusión financiera, aplicando el modelo de corresponsales bancarios. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas.
