Buffett-backed Nubank reaches 70 million clients

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazil's Nubank has reached 70 million clients across its three operating countries, Latin America's largest financial technology company said on Monday.

The digital bank, backed by investors including Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and Softbank Group Corp, said it had 66.4 million customers in Brazil, its main market, up from 62.3 million at the end of June.

In Mexico, Nubank's user grew to 3.2 million users while adding 400,000 in Colombia, the fintech said.

The fintech, considered one of Latin America's chief proponents of expanding access to the financial system, also said its investment services business in Brazil surpassed 6 million active clients.

Its crypto exchange, launched in July, had 1.8 million clients, Nubank said.
