Digital auto loans and leasing for Mexican car dealerships
About Nexu
Nexu is a Mexico City automotive-lending fintech that digitizes point-of-sale financing for car dealerships across Mexico. Founded in 2016 (YC-backed), Nexu partners with dealers so buyers—including thin-file customers—can get real-time loan and lease decisions for new and used vehicles without leaving the showroom. Contxto reported a US$50 million raise to expand auto loans, highlighting Nexu’s role in formalizing vehicle credit beyond bank captive finance. The B2B2C model combines AI/statistical underwriting, dealer integrations, and loan servicing so dealerships can approve more shoppers while Nexu originates and manages the credit. Headquarters are listed in Mexico City (including Río Elba / Polanco-area offices), and the product stack spans financing and related insurance placement for the Mexican auto market—one of LatAm’s largest.
