From no bank to neobank
View Date:2024-12-26 22:30:02
When's the last time you visited the bank? With so much banking happening online now, some banks don't even have physical locations anymore. And that's not just happening in the U.S. — Mexico has become fertile ground for purely digital banks, known as neobanks.
Many adults in Mexico don't have any kind of bank account, and a lot of those people are young and tech savvy. Fintech startups see this as their window of opportunity to leapfrog over in-person analog banking and get people to start online banking.
