São Paulo, March 2, 2023 — Nubank, one of the world’s largest digital banking platforms, was featured in Fast Company’s prestigious World’s Most Innovative Companies list. This year’s edition highlights the businesses at the forefront of their respective industries, which are paving the way for the innovations of tomorrow.
