Nubank has just taken another step beyond financial solutions, diversifying its platform of products and services. In an unprecedented 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, which is 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 novel 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. With a focus on serving its millions of customers better and better, with benefits that facilitate their daily lives beyond financial services, the idea is to empower people to find the best deals and have more flexibility with a high level of service when planning their trips.
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 new partnership is Hopper’s first B2B partner 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.”
