Nubank announces exclusive partnership with Hopper to debut in the travel segment

São Paulo, July 27, 2023 – Nubank has just taken another step beyond financial solutions, diversifying its platform of products and services. In a partnership with the North American app Hopper, Nu will offer a comprehensive travel portal within Nubank’s Shopping platform, the company’s marketplace, to facilitate the day-to-day and financial planning of millions of customers.

The new travel portal, expected to launch next year, will include a full range of travel booking options for mobile users. Nubank customers can expect to see Hopper’s price prediction technology, as well as its flexibility and protection products, in the portal. This end-to-end offering will provide Nubank users with a comprehensive and seamless travel booking experience. 

The partnership with Hopper marks Nubank’s entry into the travel category. The idea is to empower people to find the best deals and have more flexibility and high-level service when planning their trips, with benefits that make their daily lives easier beyond financial services.

“Nubank grew in ten years to be the 4th largest financial institution in Brazil, by leveraging an efficient digital business model and unmatched customer quality. Our marketplace provides access to over 80 million customers in Brazil for over 150 sellers across different verticals. Travel is of immense significance in people’s lives, especially in terms of financial planning, and we believe this partnership with Hopper will help deliver a streamlined, easy-to-use and flexible experience”, says Cristina Junqueira, Nubank’s co-founder and Chief Growth Officer.

With over 100 million app downloads, Hopper is the #1 most downloaded travel app in North America and is rapidly expanding in Latin America. Hopper has experienced triple-digit annual growth in the region and is quickly becoming one of the leading players in the LatAm online travel space. This is Hopper’s first B2B partnership in Brazil, made available via Hopper Cloud – the company’s B2B initiative that launched in 2021.

“This is a great partnership for Hopper Cloud, as we’ll have the opportunity to combine Hopper’s global travel and eCommerce expertise with Nubank’s innovative approach to digital financial services,” said Dakota Smith, President and Co-Founder of Hopper. “We are seeing strong demand for these offerings from partners around the world. In fact, Hopper Cloud now comprises more than 50% of Hopper’s overall business.”
