20.05.2026

London, 20th May 2026 – PPRO, a leading local payments platform, today announced its partnership with Nubank to provide merchants and PSPs with direct access to its native payment method, NuPay. With over 115 million customers in Brazil, NuPay opens the door for global merchants to reach one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing digital banking customer bases.

More than 62% of Brazil’s adult population use Nubank, making it the largest private financial institution in the country by number of customers, with the potential to unlock substantial growth opportunities.

NuPay is a payment method exclusively available to Nubank customers, enabling seamless authorisation through a single click or biometric scan directly within the institution’s secure app environment. By eliminating the need to share card details with merchants, it enhances security, improves approval rates, and provides stronger protection against friendly fraud and chargebacks. It also supports subscription models without the friction caused by expired card details or repeated 3DS authentication.

Commenting on the partnership, Motie Bring, CEO at PPRO, said, “Adding NuPay to our platform opens up a significant opportunity for our customers to connect with one of the largest and most engaged consumer bases in Latin America. For merchants, enabling NuPay means providing a preferred local payment experience that drives conversions, boosts basket sizes and reduces chargebacks.”

Nathan Marion, Commercial Director of Nubank said,In Brazil, we’re already seeing strong momentum toward instant payment methods, and we expect these solutions to represent a considerable share of e-commerce transactions in the coming years. Our partnership with PPRO is another step towards evolving the payments ecosystem beyond traditional card rails.”

By integrating NuPay, PPRO further strengthens its coverage across Brazil’s payment landscape, providing merchants with the local options needed to succeed in this rapidly evolving market.
