Nu, Inter Miami CF\u2019s Main Partner and the largest digital bank in Latin America, officially launched its operations in the United States today, marking a major milestone in the company\u2019s evolution from a Latin American leader into a global digital banking platform.<\/p>\n
To celebrate the occasion, Nu brought over 300 guests to Inter Miami CF\u2019s Nu Stadium for an experience that connected the company\u2019s global growth story with its newest chapter in the United States. Marriott Bonvoy VIP Lobby was transformed for the occasion, where Nu Founder and CEO David V\u00e9lez and Nu US Co-Founder and CEO Cristina Junqueira took the stage to reflect on the company\u2019s journey, the vision behind Nu and the work that has brought the company to this moment.<\/p>\n
Guests experienced a series of activations throughout the West Club, designed to bring Nu\u2019s story to life. A visual timeline took guests through the company\u2019s evolution from its beginnings in Brazil to its expansion into Colombia and Mexico, before arriving at its newest destination: the United States. The experience also showcased the connection between Nu and Inter Miami CF, with a dedicated Club activation featuring the team\u2019s 2025 MLS Cup trophy, Leo Messi\u2019s locker room seat, and the Nu Stadium display. Guests were also invited to explore Nu Stadium through guided tours, offering an inside look at Inter Miami CF\u2019s world-class home. <\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the very beginning, our Ownership group strived to be the reference of f\u00fatbol in the United States,” said Xavier Asensi, President of Business Operations at Inter Miami CF. “Just as importantly, for us as a f\u00fatbol club, it is to build those strategic partnerships, with alliances that allow us to grow to the next level. Having partners like Nu brings us to that level and their ambition is a representation of what we are and what we want to be.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The U.S. launch comes as Nu introduces a full suite of financial products designed for customers\u2019 everyday banking needs, including the Nu Account and Nu Credit Card. The company is also introducing Nu Global, a multi-currency digital account designed for people with global lives, enabling fast, fee-free money movement across more than 35 countries. Today, Nu serves more than 140 million customers across Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, with the company entering the U.S. market with the ambition of bringing its digital-first approach to a new generation of customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the next chapter of something we started thirteen years ago in a small house in S\u00e3o Paulo,\u201d said V\u00e9lez. \u201cSince our founding, we have believed that consumer-obsessed digital banking is the future of retail banking globally, and after proving this hypothesis with over 140 million fanatical customers in Latin America, we are excited to start executing our thesis beyond our core region.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOur customer-centricity and our fully mobile banking model allow us to pass on efficiencies straight back to our customers, all in service of building the best everyday mobile banking solution,\u201d said Junqueira. \u201cWe want to earn the place of being people’s primary banking relationship, and capturing even a small share of the U.S. market will be transformative for our business.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Inter Miami CF, the celebration marked another chapter in its relationship with Nu that started in March of 2026, bringing the Main Partnership to life at the Club\u2019s new home while providing a fitting backdrop for one of the company\u2019s most significant moments to date.<\/p>\n
