Nu to Invest $2.5 Billion in Mexico Over Five Years to Accelerate Bank License Transition

The pledge underpins its CNBV bank‑license push by funding payroll products as the next step.

Overview

  • The commitment nearly doubles the roughly $1.4 billion Nu says it has invested in Mexico to date.
  • Nu reports ongoing dialogue with the CNBV on authorization, calling the process meticulous and focused on system stability.
  • The funds will expand credit offerings, open new product lines, and strengthen infrastructure, testing and core technology.
  • Once the next authorization is secured, the company plans to launch payroll accounts first, followed by SME lending.
  • Nu cites about 13.1 million customers in Mexico and frames the push as advancing inclusion for a population where roughly 60% lacks digital services.
