  "account": "Nubank has started operations in the US, targeting 100-150 million underbanked individuals. The digital bank, led by CEO David Vélez, aims to offer competitive services to the mass market, not just the Latino-American community familiar with the bank. Nubank has launched a global account allowing free transfers between 35 countries and a paid current account with a 3.5% annual yield, a rare offering in the US.
