Nu Global
Nu Global (announced September 10, 2026) is Nubank's multi-currency account: deposits auto-convert into USDC (3.50% APY) or EURC (2.20% APY), paid daily, with a virtual Mastercard for global spending and free transfers across 35+ countries starting with Europe and Latin America. Infrastructure partner is Sygnum (Swiss digital-asset bank). Rates are variable and may change at any time; the yield's backing and any insurance on stablecoin balances are not stated. Rollout is gradual (waitlist); Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and US integrations are planned but not connected yet. Keep strictly separate from the Nu US banking suite (FDIC-insured), which is a different product.
