Nu Mexico Surpasses 15 Million Customers
Hey Digital Banking Fanatic!
Nu Mexico announced on Wednesday that it has surpassed the 15 million customer mark, consolidating its position as one of the top 3 financial institutions in the country by user base.
The company tripled in size in just two years, maintaining a growth trajectory of nearly 12,000 new customers per day.
“In just seven years, we have built a foundation of trust that traditionally took decades to establish. This growth fuels our commitment to continue innovating and giving our customers back control over their financial lives,” said Daniel Rojas, Chief Growth Officer (CGO) of Nu Mexico.
Nu has adopted aggressive customer acquisition tactics, offering yields well above those available through CETES, Mexico's short-term government treasury bills.
As its customer base grew, Nu set a new benchmark for customer service, outpacing traditional banks through a 24/7, fully digital, branchless model capable of delivering immediate support.
The result is a self-reinforcing flywheel: broad customer acquisition paired with strong retention has cemented Nubank's position as Mexico's leading destination for savings and credit.
