NAFIN London Branch was established in the United Kingdom in 1976 as a representation office . In 1994, the Branch was recognised as a bank as part of the long-term strategy to position NAFIN within the global financial community through its Certificates of Deposit (CDs) Programme.
 
As an institution offering financial instruments to professional clients and eligible counterparties, the Branch is authorised and regulated by the  Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (CNBV for its acronym in Spanish) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom (FRN172327).
