Nubank Finally Makes Its Move Into Argentina
Hey Digital Banking Fanatic!
After years of hesitation, Nubank is finally planting its flag in Argentina. 🇦🇷
The Brazilian FinTech giant confirmed it will open offices in Buenos Aires as part of a broader regional expansion plan.
This isn’t a small move. Nubank is backing the push with a US$474 million investment through 2030, positioning the Argentine office as a regional hub focused on development and collaboration.
The timing matters...
After walking away multiple times since 2019 due to macro instability, Nubank clearly sees a different setup now.
And it’s stepping into one of the most competitive FinTech battlegrounds in LatAm, alongside Mercado Pago, traditional banks, and global players like Revolut.
With 127 million customers across the region and nearly 10,000 employees, this move signals long-term commitment, not experimentation.
