Nubank reaches 70 million customers as growth accelerates

NuBank, the biggest digital bank in the world, has reached 70 million customers globally. The firm, which is backed by Warren Buffett, said that its customer growth has continued across its operating countries like Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia.

In a statement, the firm said that it had over 66.4 million customers in Brazil, which was higher than the previous 62.3 million. In Mexico, the company’s business has over 3.2 million customers and 400k in Colombia.

NuBank has also seen its revenue continue growing in the past few months. In the past quarter, the company said that its active monthly clients rose to 52 million, which was a 75% year-on-year growth. Revenue jumped to $1.2 billion as its credit cards and personal loans continued booming.

In addition, the company’s total deposits continued rising and reached an all-time high of over $13.3 billion. Its credit cards and personal loans business is now profitable. In a statement, the firm’s CEO said:

“Our largest operation -Brazil- is now profitable, having registered a net profit of US$ 13 million in the first half of 2022, driven by customer growth to 65 million and ability to offer and cross-sell new products. We are the fourth largest card player in Brazil.”

NuBank’s stock price has managed to bounce back from its lowest level this year. It remains about 61% below its highest level on record. This brings its total market cap to over $22 billion, which is much lower than its all-time high of over $45 billion.
