Bottom line

In the last eight years, Nu Holdings has disrupted the financial services market in Latin America through its digital operations and it expects the market size to value around US$ 1 trillion in 2021.

According to the World Bank, of the 650 million people in Latin America, the majority of the people are underbanked and don't get proper banking services. Nu Holdings is addressing this gap and seems to have growth potential.

Nu Holdings was named among the 100 Most Influential Companies in the world by Time in 2021 and by CNBC as a company among the Top 50 Disruptors.
