Nubank, one of the largest fintechs in Latin America, was poised to expand its operations across multiple countries in the region. With a market valuation exceeding $30 billion and over 40 million users, Nubank needed a strategic approach to navigate the regulatory and operational challenges of entering new markets like Argentina, Colombia and Mexico, each with distinct financial laws and economic conditions.
We partnered with a key subcontractor in charge of market research and local compliance for Nubank’s expansion. Our involvement centred on guiding the subcontractor in assessing the local regulatory frameworks, particularly regarding data privacy laws, banking regulations and customer onboarding processes. By working closely with the subcontractor, we helped Nubank overcome the market entry hurdles, ensuring that their digital banking platform could seamlessly comply with local standards. The expansion strategy has since helped Nubank grow its regional user base by 15% within the first six months of the rollout.

Agrolend, a leading fintech in Brazil’s agribusiness sector, sought to bridge the financing gap for small and medium-sized farmers. As part of Brazil’s $84 billion agribusiness sector, these farmers faced challenges accessing affordable credit due to complex regulatory requirements and a lack of tailored financial solutions. Agrolend’s mission was to streamline the financing process, offering more accessible access to loans that support sustainable farming practices and rural economic growth.
We worked closely with a subcontractor who was involved in developing the underlying fintech solutions for Agrolend.
Our team’s role was twofold: first, to assess and navigate the regional regulatory environment, ensuring compliance with Brazil’s stringent financial laws; second, to advise on scalability strategies, enabling the platform to expand to other Latin American markets. By optimising their compliance framework, we helped reduce risk and support Agrolend’s goal of doubling its loan portfolio within a year while preparing the company for further cross-border growth.
