Nu, the largest digital bank in Latin America, is launching a new suite of financial products that will be available in the United States.
In addition, Nu is rolling out Nu Global, a multi-currency digital account that allows fee-free, fast money movement across more than 35 countries. These products will be available beginning today; users can sign up now at nu.com to be among the first to have access.
“This is the next chapter of something we started thirteen years ago in a small house in São Paulo. Since our founding, we have believed that consumer-obsessed digital banking is the future of retail banking globally, and after proving this hypothesis with over 140 million fanatical customers in Latin America, we are excited to start executing our thesis beyond our core region,” David Vélez, founder and CEO of Nu, said. “More than a decade of unwavering commitment to customers, disciplined growth, profitable execution, and a business built to scale is what gives us the confidence to take this next step now. This is the first milestone of a multi-decade journey of positioning Nu as the leading digital bank in the world.”
This new chapter of international expansion builds on Nu’s leadership across its core markets, which includes Brazil, where it is the country’s largest private financial institution and serves over 60 percent of the adult population. It also has a presence in Mexico, where it is the largest digital bank; and Colombia, where Nu ranks as the country’s fourth largest financial institution by deposits and leads the market in growth and credit card issuance.
“The combination of our customer centricity and our fully mobile banking model allows us to pass on efficiencies straight back to our customers, all in service of building the best everyday mobile banking solution,” Cristina Junqueira, co-founder and CEO of Nu US, said. “Our customers will enjoy high yield on their account, a metal credit card with unlimited cashback, and fast domestic and international payments, with no fees and in a single beautifully designed app, backed by award-winning support. We want to earn the place of being people’s primary banking relationship, and capturing even a small share of the U.S. market will be transformative for our business.”
Nu enters the U.S. market with a suite of financial products designed to help customers manage their daily banking.
Nu applied for a national bank charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency last fall and received conditional approval in January of 2026. Launching through a partner bank model today allows the company to start serving customers and gathering feedback early. Nu still awaits final regulatory approval.
Nu’s new products will begin to be released starting today. Users can sign up now at nu.com and those in the U.S. who are among the first to sign up can receive Nu’s limited edition Mastercard World Elite metal cards.
