US and Nu Global
Nu launches in the United States and introduces Nu Global
Marking a next step in international expansion, Nu announced the start of operations in the United States, entering the world's largest financial services market with a suite of products designed for customers' everyday banking needs. In the same event, Nu also introduced Nu Global, a multi-currency digital account for people with international lifestyles.

“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,” said David Vélez, Founder and CEO of Nu.
