Nu Enters US Banking Market with Stablecoin-Powered Multi-Currency Account
Nu has entered the US banking market through Lead Bank, launching its US services and introducing Nu Global, a multi-currency account built around USDC and EURC.
The expansion combines deposit accounts, payment cards, and international transfers with stablecoin-based services across more than 35 countries. It gives Nu, which serves over 140 million customers worldwide, a broader role in cross-border payments.
Nu's World Elite Mastercard credit card charges no annual fee and offers unlimited 1.5% cashback. The company plans to introduce a 2% cashback rate for qualifying customers and offer a 4.50% APY savings goal on balances up to $10,000.
