Nubank aims for Latin America’s financial leadership.

Nubank, a Brazilian fintech start-up, has ambitions to become Latin America’s biggest financial group. The company currently offers credit card services to Brazilian customers but aims to expand its product offerings to include banking services such as loans, insurance, and savings accounts. Nubank plans to use its online and mobile platforms to reach customers who are unserved or underserved by traditional banks in the region. The company has raised over $180m in funding from investors such as Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global Management, and aims to reach 10 million customers in Brazil by 2020. Nubank’s expansion plans face challenges such as regulatory barriers and competition from established banks, but the company remains confident in its ability to disrupt the financial sector in Latin America.
