Mexico digital banks

albo is an IFPE, not a bank. Nu México converted toward a bank licence in 2026. SPEI is the rail. Do not write IPAB onto an IFPE wallet.

Questions

01

Is albo IPAB-insured?

No. albo is a CNBV-authorised IFPE. That is payments, not a bank deposit. Nu’s bank conversion is a different file.
