Nu Holdings Ltd., one of the world's largest digital financial services platforms, released its second quarter 2023 financial results on August 15th.

Excerpts:

"This quarter, Nu continued to expand its customer base, engagement, and monetization, increasing ARPAC above $9 for the first time, while keeping cost to serve stable below the dollar level. This combination led to revenue growing 5x in the last two years to a record of $1.9 billion, and net income reaching $225 million, over 50% higher than the last quarter, which reinforces Nu's strong operational leverage and earning-generating power. We continue to showcase leading indicators in the region for operating efficiency, and solidity. In Brazil, our growth trajectory continues, as one in every two adults is a Nu customer, and we have become the fourth largest financial institution in the country in number of customers," said David Vélez, founder and CEO of Nubank.

From the news: Customer growth: Nu added 4.6 million customers in Q2'23 and 18.4 million year-over-year (YoY), reaching a total of 83.7 million customers globally by June 30th, 2023. This represents a 28% growth YoY, which underscores Nu's position as one of the largest and fastest-growing digital financial services platforms worldwide and the fifth-largest financial institution in Latin America by number of customers. In Brazil, Nu's customer base reached 79.4 million by June 30th, 2023, accounting for 49% of the country's adult population and becoming the fourth-largest financial institution by number of customers, according to Brazilian Central Bank data. In July 2023, after the closing of Q2'23, Nu surpassed the mark of 85 million customers globally and 80 million in Brazil.

From the news: Performance and Growth in Brazil: Nu's growth trajectory continues with around 1.5 million new customers per month. Nu has already become best-in-class in terms of efficiency ratio in the country, as revenues continue to grow while costs remain under control, demonstrating massive operating leverage and likely securing the position of the lowest-cost manufacturer in Brazil. Recent launches on Secured Loans, such as Payroll Loans for Federal Public Servants or FGTS-backed loans which the company began testing a few weeks ago, will enable Nu to become the primary banking relationship of an even larger base of customers, fueling engagement and monetization even further.
