GARROCHO-RANGEL, Carlos Félix  and  CAMPOS-ALANIS, Juan. Spatial organization of the banking system inside the city: territorial strategy, accessibility and factors of localization. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.33, pp.413-453. ISSN 2448-6183.

In previous analysis carried out in México on who are excluded from the banking and financial services, some key aspects related to the spatial organization of the banks have been left aside. Three topics are distinguishable: 1) the strategy of the location of branches; 2) the inequalities of access it generates; and 3) the factors of localization which determine it. Exploring, these three topics in a concrete city would allow understanding better the logic of the spatial behavior of the banking sector, drawing lessons and identifying the opportunities to design public policies that open more access opportunities to financial services for the population and enterprises Mexican. This is, indeed, what this work attempts, taking as study zone the Metropolitan Area of Toluca (MAT).

Keywords : intra-urban banking services; accessibility; location strategy; spatial analysis; banking process.
