“Offering international transfers through a partnership was the best way we found to make this service available to our customers as quickly as possible,” said Nubank’s co-founder Cristina Junqueira.

The new service also expands Nubank’s portfolio, which includes credit cards, investment options, insurance, personal loans, and instant payment solutions.
Through Remessa Online, Nubank customers will be able to receive and send money to over 100 countries, including the United States, Chile, Portugal, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Argentina, and the United Kingdom.
