AforeMóvil App: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to use the AforeMóvil App to check your savings balance and make voluntary contributions directly from your smartphone.
The AforeMóvil App is a mobile tool provided by the government to help you manage your retirement savings account digitally through your phone.
Who it's for
This service is designed for any individual who has an existing AFORE account. If you have a retirement savings account managed through the Mexican social security system, you are eligible to use this mobile application to oversee your funds.
What you get
The app provides two primary functions to help you manage your financial future. First, you can check your current account balance to see exactly how much you have saved at any time. Second, you can make voluntary contributions, known as "Aportaciones voluntarias," which allows you to add extra money to your account to increase your long-term savings beyond the standard required amounts.
What it costs you
There is no specific government fee to download or use the application. However, using the service requires you to own a smartphone and have access to a working internet connection to transmit your data and view your real-time balance.
The catch to know
Because this app handles sensitive financial information and your retirement savings, security is a high priority. The most important thing to remember is that you will be required to undergo a biometric verification process. This means you will need to use your physical traits (such as facial recognition or fingerprints) via your device to prove your identity before you can access your account details.
How to apply
- Download the official app onto your personal smartphone.
- Follow the prompts to complete the necessary biometric verification to secure your identity.
- Once verified, log in to the interface to view your account balance or initiate a voluntary contribution.
