São Paulo, July 28, 2025 — Nubank, one of the world's largest digital financial services platforms, is announcing an enhanced benefit for its international travel eSIM. Now, the 10GB of data included with the eSIM will never expire and can be used across multiple trips throughout the year. The benefit will also automatically renew after 365 days, eliminating the need to activate a new virtual SIM. This update offers greater flexibility and convenience, ensuring continuous connectivity for frequent travelers who are Ultravioleta customers.
The eSIM is an exclusive Nubank Ultravioleta benefit, offering coverage in over 150 countries. Thanks to Nubank's partnership with Gigs, activating the eSIM is as simple as a few taps, and data usage can be easily managed directly within the Nubank app. Ultravioleta customers also enjoy dedicated support with reduced wait times and specialized customer experience agents.
Internal data from Nubank Ultravioleta shows that customers, on average, use 4.4GB of data per trip. This makes the Travel eSIM a particularly valuable option for those who travel internationally more than once a year. Europe accounts for the largest share of usage (45%), followed by North America (24%), Latin America (17%), Africa (11%), and Asia (3%).
Nubank Ultravioleta Travel Solutions
In addition to the Travel eSIM benefit, Ultravioleta customers also have access to Nu Viagens, a premium travel experience within the Nubank app for booking flights and accommodations. The platform guarantees the best prices, provides alerts for ideal flight purchase times with international travel insurance included, and offers price variation protection.
Another significant advantage is the Ultravioleta Global Account, which allows users to manage balances in Brazilian Reais, US Dollars, Euros, and over 40 other currencies directly through the Nubank app. Recently, Nubank eliminated the exchange spread on BRL conversions to more than 40 currencies within the Ultravioleta Global Account, making Nubank Ultravioleta the top choice for currency exchange among global accounts.
