PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(to prospectus dated December 21, 2016)

U.S.$500,000,000 8.500% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Preferred Contingent Convertible Additional Tier 1
Capital Notes

Grupo Financiero Santander México, S.A.B. de C.V.

The U.S.$500,000,000 8.500% Perpetual Subordinated Non-Preferred Contingent Convertible Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes (the "Notes")
are Additional Tier 1 Capital (capital básico no fundamental) notes with no fixed maturity or fixed redemption date. From and including the date
on which the Notes are initially issued, which is expected to be December 29, 2016 (the "Issue Date"), to but excluding January 20, 2022 (the
"First Call Date") the Notes will bear interest on the Current Principal Amount (as defined in this prospectus supplement) initially at a rate equal to
8.500% per annum. From and including the First Call Date (such date, and each fifth anniversary thereafter a "Reset Date") to, but excluding, the
next succeeding Reset Date, the applicable per annum interest rate will be equal to the sum of the then-prevailing Treasury Yield on the second
Business Day (as defined in this prospectus supplement) immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date (the "Reset Determination Date") and
647.20 basis points (rounded to two decimal places, with 0.005 being rounded down). The interest rate following any Reset Date may be less than
the initial interest rate and/or the interest rate that applies immediately prior to such Reset Date. Subject to the conditions described further below,
Grupo Financiero Santander México will pay interest on the Notes quarterly in arrears on January 20, April 20, July 20 and October 20 of each year
(each an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on April 20, 2017.

Interest on the Notes will be due and payable only at Grupo Financiero Santander México's sole discretion and Grupo Financiero Santander
México will have sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel any interest payment in whole or in part that would
otherwise be payable on any Interest Payment Date. In addition, interest due on the Notes from Grupo Financiero Santander México will be
automatically canceled in an Interest Cancellation Event (as defined in this prospectus supplement). Such canceled interest shall not accumulate or
be due and payable at any time thereafter and the holders and the beneficial owners of the Notes shall not have any right to or claim against Grupo
Financiero Santander México with respect to such unpaid interest amount.

Grupo Financiero Santander México may redeem the Notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued but unpaid (and not canceled)
interest, plus Additional Interest (as defined under "Description of Notes--Payment of Additional Interest"), if any, to but excluding the date fixed
for redemption, (i) in whole or in part, on the First Call Date and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter, (ii) in whole but not in part upon the
occurrence of certain tax events affecting the withholding taxes payable on the Notes, or (iii) in whole but not in part upon the occurrence of
certain special events, subject, in each case, to the conditions described in this prospectus supplement. Any such redemption shall be subject to
certain regulatory requirements, including obtaining prior authorization from Banco de México, as described in this prospectus supplement.

Upon the occurrence of a Conversion Trigger Event (as defined in this prospectus supplement), on the Conversion Date (as defined in this
prospectus supplement), the then Current Principal Amount (as defined in this prospectus supplement) of the Notes will be automatically reduced
in one or more Automatic Conversions by the applicable Conversion Amount (as defined in this prospectus supplement) and the Converted
Principal Amount (as defined in this prospectus supplement) relating to such Automatic Conversions shall be converted exclusively into (i) if the
holder of the Notes is Banco Santander, S.A., the controlling shareholder of Grupo Financiero Santander México ("Santander España"), Grupo
Financiero Santander México's Series F shares and (ii) if the holder of the Notes is not Santander España, Grupo Financiero Santander México's
Series B shares (together with the Series F shares the "Ordinary Shares") at the Conversion Price (as defined in this prospectus supplement), as
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1551975/000095010316019034/dp71388_424b5.htm[12/29/2016 3:40:50 PM]

described in this prospectus supplement.

Grupo Financiero Santander México intends to offer the Notes to, among others, its existing shareholders and certain employees of its
subsidiaries. Santander España has agreed to purchase approximately 88% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

The Notes will represent Grupo Financiero Santander México's general, unsecured and subordinated obligations. The Notes constitute
Subordinated Non-Preferred Indebtedness (as defined under "Description of Notes--Subordination--Definitions") and

will rank (i) subordinate and junior in right of payment and in liquidation to all of Grupo Financiero Santander México's present and future Senior
Indebtedness and Subordinated Preferred Indebtedness (as defined under "Description of Notes--Subordination--Definitions"), (ii) pari passu
without preference among themselves and with all of Grupo Financiero Santander México's present and future other unsecured Subordinated Non-
Preferred Indebtedness and (iii) senior only to all classes of Grupo Financiero Santander México's capital stock, as described in this prospectus
supplement. Grupo Financiero Santander México may incur additional Senior Indebtedness, Subordinated Preferred Indebtedness and Subordinated
Non-Preferred Indebtedness from time to time, and the Indenture for the Notes does not prohibit or limit the incurrence of other indebtedness,
including additional Senior Indebtedness, Subordinated Preferred Indebtedness and Subordinated Non-Preferred Indebtedness.

Grupo Financiero Santander México will use the proceeds of the offering of the Notes to acquire from Banco Santander México a perpetual
subordinated non-preferred contingent convertible additional tier 1 capital note in the same principal amount as the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes and with substantially the same terms and conditions as the Notes, issued pursuant to an indenture that is substantially the same as the
Indenture (as defined in this prospectus supplement) (the "Back-to-Back Note"). The Back-to-Back Note is not for the benefit of the holders of the
Notes and holders of the Notes have no right to enforce the Back-to-Back Note or any other right thereunder.

Currently there is no public market for the Notes. Grupo Financiero Santander México intends to apply to the Irish Stock Exchange plc (the
"ISE") for the Notes to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the Global Exchange Market, which is the exchange regulated market of
the ISE. Admission to the Official List is expected, and trading on the Global Exchange Market is expected to begin, within 30 days of the initial
delivery of the Notes. In the event that the Notes are admitted to listing on the ISE, Grupo Financiero Santander México will use its reasonable best
efforts to maintain such listing, provided that if Grupo Financiero Santander México determines that it is unduly burdensome to maintain a listing
on the ISE, it may delist the Notes from the ISE.

The Notes are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all investors.

The Notes are not intended to be sold and should not be sold to retail clients in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), as defined
in the rules set out in the Product Intervention (Contingent Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 (as
amended or replaced from time to time) other than in circumstances that do not and will not give rise to a contravention of those rules by
any person. Prospective investors are referred to the section headed "UK Financial Conduct Authority Marketing Restriction of Contingent
Convertible Securities" on page S-3 of this Prospectus Supplement for further information.

This Prospectus Supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in any Member State of the EEA will be made
pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Notes. Accordingly,
any person making or intending to make an offer in that Member State of Notes which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this
Prospectus Supplement may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for Grupo Financiero Santander México or any of
the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article
16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither Grupo Financiero Santander México nor the underwriters
have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for Grupo
Financiero Santander México or the underwriters to publish or supplement a prospectus for such offer. Neither Grupo Financiero
Santander México nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes through any financial
intermediary, other than offers made by the underwriters, which constitute the final placement of the Notes contemplated in this
Prospectus Supplement.

The expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended), and includes any relevant implementing measure in
the Member State concerned.

Investing in the Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-34 and as incorporated by reference herein.

passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary
is a criminal offense. The information contained in this prospectus supplement is exclusively Grupo Financiero Santander México's

responsibility and has not been reviewed or authorized by the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y
de Valores, the "CNBV"). An application has been made to register the Notes with the Mexican National Securities Registry (Registro
Nacional de Valores, the "Registry"), maintained by the CNBV. Registration of the Notes with the Registry does not imply any
certification as to the investment quality of the Notes, the solvency, liquidity or credit quality of Grupo Financiero Santander México or
the accuracy or completeness of the information set forth herein.

THE NOTES ARE NOT DEPOSITS WITH GRUPO FINANCIERO SANTANDER MÉXICO OR THE GROUP (AS DEFINED
BELOW), AND WILL BE UNSECURED, NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND NOT GUARANTEED BY ANY MEXICAN
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE MEXICAN SAVINGS PROTECTION AGENCY

NOTICE TO INVESTORS

Agreements and acknowledgments of investors, including holders and beneficial owners

Interest Cancellation and Automatic Conversion

As described in this prospectus supplement, the terms of the Notes provide that interest on the Notes will be due and payable only at Grupo
Financiero Santander México's sole discretion, and Grupo Financiero Santander México will have sole and absolute discretion at all times and for
any reason to cancel any interest payment, in whole or in part, that would otherwise be payable on any Interest Payment Date. As described herein,
the terms of the Notes also provide for circumstances under which Grupo Financiero Santander México will be required not to make an interest
payment, in whole or in part, on the Notes on an Interest Payment Date, and the interest payable in respect of any such Interest Payment Date shall
be canceled, in whole or in part, and therefore not due and payable. Interest will only be due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent
it is not canceled in accordance with the terms of the Notes and as further described herein.

As the Notes are perpetual and have no fixed maturity or fixed redemption date, a holder may not receive any payment of principal with
respect to the Notes.

By its acquisition of the Notes, each holder and beneficial owner acknowledges and agrees that (1) interest is payable solely at Grupo
Financiero Santander México's discretion, and no amount of interest shall become due and payable in respect of the relevant interest period to the
extent that it has been canceled by Grupo Financiero Santander México at its sole discretion and/or has been canceled as a result of the occurrence
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1551975/000095010316019034/dp71388_424b5.htm[12/29/2016 3:40:50 PM]

and continuation of an Interest Cancellation Event, as described in this prospectus supplement; and (2) a cancellation of interest (in whole or in
part) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes shall not constitute a default in payment or otherwise under the terms of the Notes
or the Indenture. Interest will only be due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent it is not canceled in accordance with the
provisions described above. Any interest canceled (in whole or in part) in the circumstances described herein shall not be due and shall not
accumulate or be payable at any time thereafter, and holders and beneficial owners shall have no rights thereto or to receive any additional interest,
penalty or compensation as a result of such cancellation.

If a Conversion Trigger Event occurs (as defined in this prospectus supplement) relating to such Automatic Conversions on the Conversion
Date, the then Current Principal Amount of the Notes shall be automatically reduced in one or more Automatic Conversions by the applicable
Conversion Amount and the Converted Principal Amount relating to such Automatic Conversions shall be converted into Grupo Financiero
Santander México's Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price, at which point all of Grupo Financiero Santander México's obligations with respect
to the Converted Principal Amount shall be irrevocably and automatically released in consideration of its delivery of the Settlement Shares (as
defined in this prospectus supplement) to the Settlement Share Depositary (as defined in this prospectus supplement) (or other relevant recipient as
described herein), and under no circumstances shall such released obligations be reinstated.

If any holder or beneficial owner (or group of either or both) of the Notes other than Santander España would become a holder or group of
holders (i) of more than two percent (2%) of Grupo Financiero Santander México's Ordinary Shares as a result of an Automatic Conversion, and
the requirements specified in the Mexican Financial Groups Law (as defined below) are not satisfied by the applicable holder or group of holders,
or (ii) of more than five percent (5%) of its Ordinary Shares as a result of an Automatic Conversion, Grupo Financiero Santander México will cause
the Settlement Share Depositary to sell in whatever manner the Settlement Share Depositary determines, in its sole discretion, a sufficient amount
of Settlement Shares in excess of any of the applicable percentages specified above (the "Excess Settlement Shares") that would have been
delivered to such holder or beneficial owner such that such holder or beneficial owner, together with any such group to which it belongs, does not
become a holder of Ordinary Shares exceeding two percent (2%) or five percent (5%), as applicable, of Grupo Financiero Santander México's
Ordinary Shares, it being understood that such holders will be paid the proceeds, net of expenses, of the sale of the applicable Excess Settlement
Shares.

By its acquisition of the Notes, each holder and beneficial owner shall be deemed to have (i) agreed to all of the terms and conditions of the
Notes, including, without limitation, those related to (x) Automatic Conversion following a Conversion Trigger Event and (y) the appointment of
the Settlement Share Depositary, the issuance of the Settlement Shares to the Settlement Share Depositary (or to the relevant recipient in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes) and the potential sale of Excess Settlement Shares by the Settlement Shares Depositary,
and acknowledged that such events in (x) and (y) may occur without any further action on the part of the holders or beneficial owners of the Notes
or the Trustee, (ii) agreed that effective upon, and following, an Automatic Conversion, the Converted Principal Amount shall no longer be due and
payable to the holders or beneficial owners of the Notes, and Grupo Financiero Santander México's liability to pay the Converted Principal
Amount, or any interest in respect of such Converted Principal Amount shall be automatically released, and the holders and beneficial owners shall
not have the right to give a direction to the Trustee with respect to the Conversion Trigger Event and any related Automatic Conversion, (iii)
waived, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), any claim against the Trustee arising
out of its acceptance of its trusteeship under, and the performance of its duties, powers and rights in respect of, the Indenture and in connection
with the Notes, including, without limitation, claims

S-2

related to or arising out of or in connection with a Conversion Trigger Event and/or any Automatic Conversion and (iv) authorized, directed and
requested DTC (as defined in this prospectus supplement), its participants, including its indirect participants, INDEVAL, Euroclear and
Clearstream Luxembourg, or other intermediary through which it holds such Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement
the Automatic Conversion without any further action or direction on the part of such holder or beneficial owner or the Trustee.

UK Financial Conduct Authority-- Marketing Restriction of Contingent Convertible Securities

The Notes described in this prospectus supplement are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable or appropriate investment for
all investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or
sale of securities such as the Notes to retail investors.

In particular, in June 2015, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") published the Product Intervention (Contingent
Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 (the "PI Rules") which took effect from 1 October 2015. Under the rules
set out in the PI Rules (as amended or replaced from time to time), certain contingent write-down or convertible securities, such as the Notes,
must not be sold to retail clients in the EEA and nothing may be done that would or might result in the buying of such securities or the holding
of a beneficial interest in such securities by a retail client in the EEA (in each case within the meaning of the PI Rules), other than in
accordance with the limited exemptions set out in the PI Rules.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1551975/000095010316019034/dp71388_424b5.htm[12/29/2016 3:40:50 PM]

The Underwriters are subject to, and required to comply with, the PI Rules, or, if not subject to the PI Rules, they will comply with them as
if they were subject to the PI Rules. By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Notes from Grupo Financiero Santander
México and/or the Underwriters, you represent, warrant, agree with and undertake to Grupo Financiero Santander México and each of the
Underwriters that (1) you are not a retail client in the EEA (as defined in the PI Rules); (2) whether or not you are subject to the PI Rules, you
will not sell or offer the Notes to retail clients in the EEA or do anything (including the distribution of this document) that would or might
result in the buying of the Notes or the holding of a beneficial interest in the Notes by a retail client in the EEA (in each case within the
meaning of the PI Rules,) other than (i) in relation to any sale or offer to sell the Notes to a retail client in or resident in the United Kingdom,
in any other circumstances that do not and will not give rise to a contravention of the PI Rules by any person and/or (ii) in relation to any sale
or offer to sell the Notes to a retail client in any EEA member state other than the United Kingdom, where (A) you have conducted an
assessment and concluded that the relevant retail client understands the risks of an investment in Notes and is able to bear the potential losses
involved in an investment in the Notes and (B) you have at all times acted in relation to such sale or offer in compliance with the Markets in
Financial Instruments Directive (2004/39/EC) ("MiFID") to the extent it applies to you or, to the extent MiFID does not apply to you, in a
manner which would be in compliance with MiFID if it were to apply to you; and (3) you will at all times comply with all applicable local laws,
regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the EEA) relating to sales of instruments such as the Notes, including any such
laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating to determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes by
investors in any relevant jurisdiction.

Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any
Notes from Grupo Financiero Santander México and/or the Underwriters the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and
undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.

For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions described above do not affect the distribution of the Notes in jurisdictions outside of the EEA,
such as in the United States provided that any distribution into the EEA complies with the PI Rules.

SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus supplement, except for any information superseded by
information that is included directly in this document or incorporated by reference subsequent to the date of this document.

of the statements in this prospectus supplement or in any document previously incorporated by reference have been modified or superseded. Grupo
Financiero Santander México incorporates by reference into this prospectus supplement the following documents listed below, which it has already
filed with or furnished to the SEC:

(1) its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed on May 2, 2016 (the "2015 Annual Report"); and

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Grupo Financiero Santander México is a publicly traded variable capital corporation (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable)
incorporated in accordance with the laws of Mexico. All of its directors and officers and experts named herein are non-residents of the United
States, and all or substantially all of the assets of such persons and substantially all of Grupo Financiero Santander México's assets are located
outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for holders of the Notes to effect service of process within the United States upon such
persons or to enforce against them or Grupo Financiero Santander México United States court judgments, whether or not predicated upon the civil
liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities or other laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Grupo Financiero Santander México has been advised by its special Mexican counsel, Ritch, Mueller, Heather y Nicolau, S.C., that there is
doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican courts, of liabilities predicated solely on U.S. federal securities laws and as to the
enforceability in Mexican courts of judgments of United States courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S.
federal securities laws. Grupo Financiero Santander México has been advised by such special Mexican counsel that no bilateral treaty is currently
in effect between the United States and Mexico that covers the reciprocal enforcement of civil foreign judgments. In the past, Mexican courts have
enforced judgments rendered in the United States by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity, consisting of the review in Mexico of
the United States judgment, in order to ascertain, among other matters, whether Mexican legal principles of due process, public policy (orden
público) and non-violation of Mexican law have been complied with, without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of the case.

Grupo Financiero Santander México will appoint Banco Santander, S.A., New York Branch as its authorized agent upon which process may
be served in any action which may be instituted in any United States federal or state court having subject-matter jurisdiction in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, New York arising out of or based upon the Notes or the Indenture governing the Notes. See "Description of
Notes."
