open banking to easily build onto their platforms to offer value-added services from other providers, which can be cost-effective for them and valuable to customers. These regulations can ultimately fuel competition and make Brazil a more attractive market for neobanks to expand into.
With 24 million users, Nubank is the sixth-largest FI in Brazil.

And given the significant portion of currently underbanked consumers in Brazil , there's likely enough room for those neobanks to build their customer bases, despite the size of Nubank.Business Insider Intelligence analyzes the banking industry and provides in-depth analyst reports, proprietary forecasts, customizable charts, and more. >>, Business Insider Intelligence's expert email newsletter tailored for today's decision-makers in the financial services industry, delivered to your inbox 6x a week. >>
