Nu Holdings gets Mexico bank license, putting attention on deposit base
Nu Holdings Ltd. is close to wrapping up its conversion to a Mexican bank, with a funding base that goes deeper than customer numbers suggest. Mexico had more than $5.9 billion in deposits as of the end of March, making up about 14% of the group’s deposits, while its 15 million-plus customers were about 11% of Nu’s global total. The main question now is whether these deposit levels can help the new banking license generate more profit.
