Customer engagement

Nu is now testing its new customer relationship program that offers rewards: Nunos. Through gamification, the feature aims to help customers progress in their financial journey and celebrate achievements, unlocking discount coupons, gifts, and other rewards. 

 

This is yet another step in further engaging our ever-growing base of 65 million customers. In Q2’22, ​​Nu registered a record-high activity rate of 80%, also becoming the primary bank for over 55% of the monthly active customers who have been with the Company for over a year.

Products and launches

Money Boxes milestone. More than 2.25 million Money Boxes (Caixinhas) have been created by customers since the launch to a selected base in July. The feature, which allows investors to organize their savings into specific goals with different yields, is now available to all Nubank account customers in Brazil.

 

Security hub. To help and guide customers in case of scams, thefts and fraud, we launched SOS Nu, a hub with information detailing the steps on how to prevent and act in adverse situations, providing customers with a trustable source so they can make informed decisions with more confidence.

 

Investments, simplified. Nubank customers will have a centralized view of BDRs, stocks and FIIs (real estate funds) that pay recurring earnings, giving more visibility on all sources of passive income in a single place. Nu is reducing complexity when presenting investors with this information to increase their autonomy when making decisions about their assets.

 

FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. In our debut as Official Regional Supporter of the tournament, Nu will take 15 customers to watch eight group stage matches in Doha as part of a cultural contest. Additionally, the Company is offering 18 digital experiences in the Panini Sticker Album, including the possibility to make personalized virtual stickers, and special additional content accessible through a QR code in the album.


Financial education. Nu launched Papo de Patroa, a talk show hosted by Anitta in her first activity as Global Brand Ambassador, and Linn da Quebrada – Brazilian singer, actress, and screenwriter. In it, the artists look back on their own financial journey and share their learnings in a simple and direct way.

Corporate Information

World class experts. 

  • Alex Ceballos joined Nu as Chief Corporate Development Officer to focus on growing the company through new business and markets. Ceballos has 16 years of experience at Amazon and will report to David Vélez, Nubank's founder and CEO. 
  • Nubank also welcomed technology expert Adrian Cockcroft this month as the Company's first Tech Advisor to share his knowledge on technical strategy, cloud, platformization, architecture, open source, ESG, and other subjects, while Nu scales its operation internationally. 

Open Finance. Nubank joined Open Finance this month, broadening the possibilities to further understand customers’ behaviors and increasingly improve our portfolio. The move also paves the way to offer customers greater control over their financial lives through a transparent and accessible experience – allowing them to manage their finances and data autonomously.
 

BDR Program Restructure. Nubank announced a plan to implement a phased restructure of its Brazilian Depositary Receipt (BDR) program from Level III to Level I and request cancellation of its foreign issuer registration in Brazil with CVM. Pending approvals from CVM and B3, the Company aims to increase efficiency and build long-term value for investors and customers.
