MXNu, originally a Brazilian financial institution operating under the framework of a Sociedad Financiera Popular (Sofipo), has completed its transformation into a multiple banking institution and officially began operating as a bank in Mexico starting August 6. This change provides greater protection for its over 15 million customers' funds, moving their deposits from the Sofipo insurance scheme, covering up to 25,000 UDIS (approximately 225,000 pesos), to the Institute for the Protection of Bank Savings (IPAB), which covers up to 400,000 UDIS (around 3.6 million pesos). The transition involved a technological migration on August 5, allowing uninterrupted operation of credit and debit cards and access to the app. With this new status, Nu can now offer expanded financial products such as payroll accounts, increased credit capabilities, and other services while maintaining its fully digital model without physical branches.
