This week, the Brazilian neobank C6 Bank launched a global investment account through which the client will be able to manage local and external investments on a single platform, having access to assets from all over the world through the bank’s app, without the need for a brokerage account or foreign bank.
The new product targets high-income customers. According to Romildo Valente, head of investments at C6 Bank, the global investment account makes the neobank‘s platform more competitive when Brazilian investors are looking to diversify their portfolio with investments in the foreign market, either because the Brazilian interest rate is falling, either to protect the portfolio from domestic economic instability.
