SAO PAULO, May 8 (Reuters) - Brazilian digital bank
Nubank has exceeded 100 million customers in Latin
America, making it the first digital banking platform outside
Asia to do so, it said in a statement on Wednesday.
Nubank operates in Brazil, where it serves more than 92
million clients, as well as Mexico and Colombia, where its
customers total 7 million and nearly 1 million, respectively.
Last year it reported record financial results, amassing
more than $8 billion in revenues and $1 billion in net profit.
"In 2013 we set the ambitious goal of reaching one million
customers in five years, which seemed almost impossible at the
time," Chief Executive David Velez said in a statement.
"Within a decade, we have now surpassed the 100 million mark
- that is a testament to the trust our customers place in us."
Nubank is set to publish its first-quarter results on May
14.
