Nubank's Mexican unit authorized to operate as bank

Nu Mexico, Nubank's subsidiary, received authorization from Mexico's National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) to operate as a bank and has 30 days to complete transformation. Marks entry into licensed banking in Mexico.

WHY IT MATTERS

Extends fintech banking-as-a-service model into Mexico, a 130M-person economy with low banking penetration. Demonstrates playbook for rapid LATAM expansion; pressures incumbent Mexican banks to accelerate digital/AI capability or risk deposit flight to neo-banks.
