Nubank, the worldwide digital lending phenom from Brazil, just scored a massive win in Mexico. Their local arm, Nu Mexico, has successfully bagged regulatory approval from the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) to commence the transition into a full-service bank.

Velez enthusiastically shared this latest development, regarding it as a "landmark achievement that will spur innovation and promote healthy competition in Mexico."

Now the real fun begins! Nu Mexico will undergo a stringent regulatory audit to ensure everything's up to snuff. After that, they'll enter a testing phase, fine-tuning their systems for seamless banking operations.
