Brazil’s Nubank buys Advent-backed broker Easynvest as part of plan to become full-service financial provider

The move illustrates growing competition among the country’s five biggest lenders - which account for more than 80% of Brazil’s deposits – with newer platforms such as those from XP Inc, BTG Pactual and Guide already luring billions of reais in savings.

“Since its foundation, Nubank wanted to offer a full-service financial platform because we see much inefficiency in the banks,” Velez said in an interview. A growing mass of retail customers is shifting from certificates of deposit to trading stocks in Brazil due to historically low interest rates that have affected yields.
