Group – 5
• Nubank is the largest Fintech in Latin America. It is a privately held
company which deals with Financial Services.

and is headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. The company provides a
credit card to the consumers which can be controlled with the help of a
phone 24x7.

Nubank was clear from the beginning: "We are a technology company,
it is in our DNA, not a bank." And it is based on 4 pillars, which Vélez
himself explains:

• Technology: Developing all of our technology at home is one of our competitive


advantages. It should not be outsourced.

• Design: The consumer suffered because of the complexity, he had to do a thousand


processes, calls, visits and so on, banks held customers hostage. Therefore, simplification
and transparency are the differential. (Hence its name: 'Nu' in Portuguese means naked,
without clothes).
• Data science: Use and make the most of the information. We saw as a deficiency that in
the Brazilian financial sector there was little data to make decisions. In fact, at this point
Colombia is ahead of Brazil.
• Experience: Always improve it. For example, if the customer has to call the bank, they
will respond immediately. That they are not limited to office hours, much less that they
feel ignored.
Nubank - Founders and Team

The founders of the company are David Vélez, Edward Wible and Cristina
Junqueira.

• David Vélez is the founder and the CEO of Nubank. He was a board member at
Despegar.com. He was also a partner at Sequoia Capital. He was the senior
associate at General Atlantic. He began his career as an analyst at Goldman Sachs.

Computer Science from Princeton University.

Boston Consulting Group. She has got a bachelor's and a master's degree in
engineering from the University of Sao Paulo.
NuBank - Business Model

The company offers the customers a low interest and a no-fee credit card which can
be managed with the help of Android and iOS. Users can track and control their
purchases with the help of this platform.
Nubank - Revenue Model

• Nubank makes money with the help of the credit card the company provided to
its users. Whenever a purchase takes place through the credit card, the
organization pays a small percentage of money through the Mastercard network.
In case a customer decides to pay the bills in instalments, the company receives
interest.
Nubank - Funding and Investors

Nubank has raised a total amount of $1.5 billion in funding over the 11
funding rounds.
Nubank - Growth
• NuBank has already experienced growth in the first half of 2020 because during
the pandemic many consumers turned to online mode.
• The company saw a 48% of increased revenue growth from December 2019
onwards. During that time, the number of transactions got doubled on the
platform.
• The customer base now stands at 35 million customers in brazil in 2020, which is
more than double compared to 2019. According to the reports, NuBank receives
an average of 41,000 new users a day. On plans of International Expansion the
company stated that it will soon start its operation in Columbia. .
Acquistions

• In January 2020, Nubank made its first acquisition by acquiring


Plataformatec, a company that specialized in software engineering and
agile methodologies.

• In September 2020, Nubank acquired Easyinvest, an investment broker


also from Brazil for an undisclosed amount.
As with any digital bank, Nubank has some upsides and some downsides. But, being
such a huge financial institution in Latin America, it surprisingly doesn’t have many
things going against it. Here are the pros and cons of Nubank Brazil.

insurance is Chubb, one of the world’s
biggest players in the insurance industry.
Mobile app
• Like most digital banks, most of your banking with Nubank will be
conducted via its app. This app is easy to use and well designed,
providing a perfectly convenient platform to fulfil all your banking on
the go.
• They recently launched a redesigned look that does feel different. If
you’ve only ever used the old app, it might take some time to get used
to the new layout.
• But, changes had to be made to accommodate the new products: the
Nubank account, Nubank Rewards, and the business PJ account.
Instant payments
• Instant payments are called Pix. With Pix, you can make the fastest
and the most practical money transfers between different banks and
financial institutions for free.
• The transfers are almost instant and all you need is a Pix key to send
or receive money. No need for bank details.
• Simply use CPF or CNPJ, a phone number, email, or random key as a
Pix key.
How is Nubank regulated?

• Nubank is licensed by MasterCard to issue credit and debit cards


within their network in Brazil. Nubank got its full banking license in
2017 after several years of not being able to get one.
Is my money safe with Nubank?
• Until June 2019, the Nubank account had no FGC coverage because
the deposited money was invested in government bonds. In other
words: all the money deposited was invested in government bonds and
offered a yield of 100%.
• With the launch of the investment option in RDB, in June, the Nubank
account is now covered by the FGC – as the RDBs are in the fund’s
range of coverage. This means that Nubank account customers who
choose to make deposits in RDB rather than government bonds are
covered by the FGC.

How Does Nubank Make Money?
• Nubank makes money via interchange fees, interest on customer deposits,
overdraft fees, ATM withdrawal fees, subscriptions, referral fees, interest from
loans, as well as insurance premiums.
• Its business model is predicated on creating an ecosystem of products that it can
offer to its customers. Many of the world’s biggest FinTech companies, such
as Robinhood, were launched with the goal of improving one particular customer
pain point (in the case of Nubank high interest rates and access to bank accounts).
• Over time, as these companies managed to onboard millions of users, they began
to expand their offerings. Nubank, for instance, has now moved into business
accounts, insurances, personal loans, or cashback rewards.
• Much like Amazon, these products end up creating a flywheel effect for the
company. For instance, Nubank is able to use its customer’s spending or salary
data to more accurately determine how much interest it should charge on a loan.
The customer, on the other hand, also benefits by being offered an optimized (and
likely cheaper) interest rate.
Interchange Fees
• Whenever a customer uses their Nubank-branded debit or credit card
to make a payment, a so-called interchange fee is being applied.
• The interchange fee is being paid by the merchant that receives the
payment, for instance, a restaurant or clothing store.
• Interchange fees come out to about one percent of the purchasing
price. That fee is then to be shared with Mastercard, the issuer of its
debit card. The actual percentage share is not being disclosed to the
public
Interest On Cash

• Whenever customers deposit money into their Nubank savings


account, they can earn interest on the funds held in that account.
• Nubank, just like any normal bank, then uses that cash to lend it out to
other institutions, such as said banks. The company will then collect
interest on the money that it lends out
Overdraft Fees

• Another source of income for Nubank is the overdraft fees it charges


whenever a customer extends the limit on the credit card.
• Its comparatively low overdraft rates were one of the many reasons why
Nubank was able to attract so many customers right from the get-go.
• For comparison, incumbent Brazilian banks used to charge around 145
percent on the negative balance.
• Nubank, on the other hand, attracted customers with rates as low as 38
percent (subject to change, however).
• This was made possible by the fact that Nubank did not operate any
physical branches. Therefore, its cost structure was significantly lower.
Cash Withdrawal Fees
• Whenever a customer retrieves cash from one of Nubank’s partners,
namely anco24Horas and Saque e Pague, a withdrawal fee of $ 6.50 (a
little over $1) is applied.
• The fee is used to cover the cost of being able to use its partners’ ATM
network. As such, Nubank likely does not make a profit from cash
withdrawals.
Subscription

• In 2021, Nubank launched a premium credit card (in metal format)


called the Ultravioleta. The card grants customers a variety of benefits,
including:
• Access to Mastercard’s Black VIP Lounge
• Free travel medical insurance whenever tickets are bought via the card
• Purchase protection against accidental damage, theft, or robbery for up
to 90 days after the initial purchase
• WiFi at any airport
• … and many more. In order to use the card, customers will have to pay
a monthly subscription fee of R$49 (around $10).
Referral Fees
• Subscription fees, however, are not the only method with which Nubank is
able to monetize its premium credit card.
• Whenever a customer uses the card to make a payment, he or she will
receive a cashback reward equal to 1 percent of the purchase price.
• The money can either be paid out (by sending it to the savings account),
exchanged for miles, or invested into stocks and index funds (via its
acquisition of Easyinvest).
• It can be assumed that Nubank receives some sort of compensation (often
called referral fees) from its cashback partners in exchange for encouraging
customers to conduct their purchases at the partner store.
• For instance, in late 2020, Nubank partnered with Amazon to reimburse
customers who purchased a product within its e-commerce marketplace.
Insurance

• Nubank, via its Nubank Life entity, offers life insurance products to its
customers in Brazil. For as little as R$ 9 per month, customers can
ensure that their loved ones are taken care of in case of an unforeseen
fatality.
• Customers can, furthermore, add on additional coverage. This can
cover the funeral cost, hospitalization bills, or provide financial
assistance in case of disability
Loans

• Apart from insurances, Nubank customers can also apply for personal loans
which can be paid back in multiple installments.
• Nubank generates income with those loans via the interest it charges on a
monthly basis. The interest rate ultimately depends on the repayment
period, the amount loaned, as well as a variety of other factors.
• Given that Nubank is able to collect thousands of data points on its
customers, such as their spending habits, level of income, or location, it can
accurately assess how likely it is that someone can repay that loan.
• As a result, its default rate should be extremely low. Given the integrated
app experience, customers can receive quasi-instant offers whenever they
apply for a loan.
Nubank Funding, Revenue & Valuation

• According to Crunchbase, Nubank has raised a total of $2.3 billion


across 12 rounds of debt and equity financing.
• Notable investors include Sequoia Capital, Tencent, Dragoneer
Investment Group, Ribbit Capital, Berkshire Hathaway, and many
more.
• Nubank was valued at around $41 billion after its IPO during which
the company raised another $2.6 billion.
• For the fiscal year 2020, Nubank has generated $963 million in
revenue. This is close to a 100-percent increase from the $523 million
it generated in 2019
The bottom line
• Nubank is a revolutionary banking service offering Brazilians a
convenient and cost-effective way to bank, get paid, earn interest, and
spend with minimal fees and complete transparency.
• Nubank is probably best for personal customers. Their business
account is still beta stage and offers little over and above the personal
account – though it’s still free.
• There’s little surprise that Nubank is quickly becoming the bank of
choice among young Brazilians looking for an easy way to bank
without paying excessive fees.
