Mexico’s Fintech Sector Matures as Nu Wins Bank Approval

1 reports · First detected 2026-07-23 · Last active 2026-07-23

Mexico has Latin America’s second-largest fintech ecosystem, with industry group FinTech México counting about 1,100 active domestic and foreign firms. The 2018 Fintech Law established an early regulatory framework, but standards for open finance, digital payments, virtual assets and artificial intelligence remain incomplete. That gap matters as the sector shifts from venture-funded expansion toward consolidation, profitability and deeper integration with the formal financial system.

The latest marker came on July 10, 2026, when the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores cleared Nu México to convert from a Sofipo into a bank, giving it 30 days to start operations. Nu has more than 15 million Mexican customers and reported over $5.9 billion in first-quarter deposits. Founder David Vélez said the company plans to invest $4.2 billion in Mexico from 2026 through 2030, intensifying competition with established banks and digital entrants.

Brazil’s Fintech Landscape in 20262026-04-14 · 1 reports · similarity 0.80

Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy, with output of about $2.3 trillion and services accounting for nearly 60% of GDP. Yet roughly 70% of financial assets were historically concentrated among a handful of major banks. Since launching the Pix instant-payment system in 2020, the Central Bank of Brazil has also promoted Open Finance, using public digital infrastructure to reduce transfer costs and widen access to financial services for companies such as Nubank and PicPay.

The Fintech Times reported on April 13, 2026, that Brazil had as many as 1,500 fintech companies. Pix processes more than 6 billion transactions a month, serves over 170 million users and transfers about $550 billion monthly. Open Finance involves more than 800 institutions and has over 60 million active data-sharing consents. The Central Bank of Brazil also plans to roll out Drex in phases during 2026–2027.
