Nubank

Value ( USD ) : $ 10bn

Founded in 2013 , Nubank aspires to reinvent what ’ s possible and redefine people ’ s relationship with money . With many in Brazil paying high fees and interest rates for poor banking services , NuBank believes that by combining technology and design , this problem can be solved . Since day one , Nubank has strived to showcase that it is possible to do things differently ; That “ it was possible to treat people like humans , not numbers . And offer a service that is fair , simple and transparent . Because , after all , what we want is to give control back to people . To give them the chance to reinvent their own financial lives .” Nubank has received investments from Sequoia Capital , Redpoint e . ventures , and Kaszek Ventures . fintechmagazine . com
