São Paulo, September 9, 2026 – Nubank has been included in the first edition of TIME’s World’s Best Companies 2026, presented by TIME and Statista Inc. The annual ranking recognizes 1,000 companies globally that are shaping the future of business based on employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and sustainability transparency.
The recognition reflects Nubank’s continued rise as one of the world’s leading digital financial services companies. Its growth is fueled by a digital-first, low-cost model and a user-friendly app, which has attracted nearly 139 million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. In early 2026, Nubank received conditional approval from the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a U.S. national bank. By eliminating hidden fees, expanding access to financial services for historically underserved populations, expanding its product portfolio, and integrating AI across customer service, app personalization and credit decisions, the company has solidified its position as an industry leader.
This year’s recognition builds on a year of continued momentum for Nubank. In 2026, the company was also named one of TIME’s 10 Most Influential Finance Companies 2026, Forbes’ World’s Best Banks, and #1 bank in Latin America in the Evident AI Index, among other industry recognitions, including Euromoney's Best Digital Bank in Latin America, Fortune's 100 Fastest-Growing Companies, and The Banker's Digital Bank of the Year.
