Nubank US is here. Off the waitlist, Metal Card in hand, and the packaging is unreal. 💜 Only downside: couldn't get their credit card. Who else got in?

Great to see @nubank arriving in the US with cool products and partnerships! 🇺🇸
@velez_david's vision totally resonates with me: money should move as easily as a message. Instantly, without high fees or delays.
Congrats to the Nu US team and @junqueira_cris on the @MercedesAMGF1 partnership. Kimi Antonelli becoming the youngest F1 champion ever in Mexico was simply perfect! Same speed and ambition Nu is showing around the world. 🏎️ 🌎
Add the @InterMiamiCF + Nu Stadium partnership and it's clear that something global is being built, right here in Miami. 🌎
🇨🇴 🇧🇷 🚀 #Nu #NuGlobal #NuStadium #InterMiami #MercedesAMGPetronas #F1 #KimiAntonelli – at Miami, FL
At just 20 years old, Kimi Antonelli history as the youngest Formula 1 World Champion ever. An extraordinary achievement that shows how talent, discipline, dedication, and teamwork can overcome any barrier.
Congratulations to Kimi and the entire @MercedesAMGF1 team! We’re proud to be part of this journey and to celebrate such a special moment together. And we’re just getting started! 🏁💜

Até o dia 1º de novembro, quem passar pelo Aeroporto de Congonhas em São Paulo poderá ver de perto a réplica oficial do Mercedes-AMG W17 E Performance. Ela ficará no saguão de embarque, no andar térreo.
A ativação faz parte da parceria com a Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, que também acaba de ganhar uma nova campanha do Nubank Ultravioleta estrelada pelos pilotos George Russell e Kimi Antonelli e também pelo ator Patrick Dempsey, piloto profissional e fã da categoria. É muito bom ver essa parceria aproximando ainda mais os fãs do universo da F1.
E essa é só uma parte do que o Nubank está preparando para a semana do GP: de 4 a 8 de novembro, a Nubank House levará experiências imersivas ao Nubank Parque, com acesso exclusivo para clientes. Já de 6 a 8 de novembro, o Nubank Ultravioleta terá uma área de hospitalidade no Paddock Club, em Interlagos.
Estamos muito felizes em levar diferentes experiências para São Paulo e celebrar a paixão dos brasileiros pelo automobilismo. 🏁

For years, I got hundreds of messages that were some version of: “When is Nu coming here, to the country where I live?” Behind those messages were people who had heard about Nu or even experienced it firsthand, but now miss it in the country where they live.
A little over a month ago, we brought that experience to the US, and now we embark on reaching far more people around the world as Nu Global is officially live!
A global account that opens up access to digital dollars and digital euros, pays 3.50% APY and 2.20% APY respectively, moves money across more than 35 countries with no hidden fees or exchange-rate spreads, and allows customers to spend anywhere through a virtual card that converts automatically.
Designed for people whose lives don’t fit inside one country. People who study abroad, who work far from where they were born, who send money home every month, who have been quietly paying fees for the privilege of having a life in more than one country.
We built Nu by refusing to accept that “the way things work” was the way they had to work. That has allowed us to reach over 140 million people in little over a decade. Same idea here, much bigger map.

Tudo o que nos cerca influencia, de alguma forma, quem somos e quem estamos nos tornando. As pessoas com quem convivemos, os ambientes que frequentamos e as companhias que escolhemos têm um impacto direto em nossos pensamentos, atitudes e decisões. Mesmo sem perceber, absorvemos hábitos, comportamentos e até a maneira como enxergamos a vida.
Por isso, escolher bem quem caminha ao nosso lado faz toda a diferença. Estar perto de pessoas que cultivam bons valores, incentivam o crescimento e enxergam a vida com propósito fortalece nossa jornada. O ambiente em que você escolhe permanecer pode impulsionar seu futuro ou limitar seu potencial.
Os ingressos serão disponibilizados em breve. Mais informações em nubankhouse.com.br.

Customer #6,347 at @nubank US 💜
10+ years with Nu in Brazil, and now the same purple card in my wallet here in the US.
For a Brazilian abroad, it's like finding feijoada, doce de leite and Guaraná on the same shelf.
Obrigado, NU! Finally home on both sides. 🇧🇷🇺🇸
Imagine waiting months for a credit card, only to hear your bank can't verify your address—even though it holds your mortgage.
In 2026, how are banks still this disconnected? If preferred customers face this, imagine what millions of others go through.
It was a great conversation and a pleasure meeting you Miguel!
I sat down with @junqueira_cris, Co-Founder of @nubank, at the Nu Stadium in Miami, less than 24 hours after Nu officially launched in the United States.
Founded in 2013, Nu today serves nearly 140 million customers and has a public valuation of almost $80Bn. Roughly 64% of Brazil’s adults are Nu customers, about 80% of Nu’s Brazilian customers arrived through word of mouth, and Nu still adds around a million Brazilians every other month.
What began as a single no-fee credit card in São Paulo became one of the largest digital banks in the world. Now it is attempting something almost no Latin American company has pulled off: exporting a mainstream consumer financial brand into the US.
We discussed why she thinks the US mass affluent is underserved, why Nu tracks NPS ahead of customer growth, why paid acquisition in lending carries a hidden cost, what Walt Disney’s 1950s business diagram has to do with Nu’s org chart, and how she manages her time inside a company of roughly ten thousand people.

@nubank Welcome to the US. As a former TradFi CEO it’s refreshing to see a new player bring a fresh game plan to disrupt this industry in a much needed way. Impressive onboarding package delivered today! @velez_david @junqueira_cris
If even the Pope struggles with banking bureaucracy, imagine everyone else. At Nu, we build around customers, not org charts. Seamless banking should be the standard.
Thanks @shamahyder and @Inc.!

Nubank has more than 140 million customers. Now it’s taking its playbook to the US.
I sat down with David Vélez, Founder and Global CEO of @Nubank, live at Nu Stadium, the day after the US launch.
We get into the US launch with Lead Bank, Nu’s conditional OCC approval, and what’s under the hood of Nu Global, including Sygnum, Circle, Mastercard and Stripe.
Plus AI credit models, banking agents, and the efficiency numbers that make other bank CEOs read and weep.
