Nubank was started in 2013 with a credit card that was controlled through a mobile app. At the time, it was the first service in Brazil that allowed customers to do banking without going to a physical bank branch. Since then, Nubank has expanded into additional financial services and currently has 850 employees working in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n Edward Wible is a co-founder and CTO of Nubank and in this episode he discusses his work growing Nubank from a small team of less than 10 people into a company with almost 1000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n We have covered two other banks in the past few weeks: Monzo and N26. In terms of software engineering and product management, Nubank is similar to Monzo and N26. One characteristic that stood out was Nubank\u2019s use of Clojure, a functional programming language built on the JVM.<\/span><\/p>\n A question that came up during this show: what is the line between \u201cfintech company\u201d and \u201cbank\u201d? We hope to explore this more in future shows about the intersection of money and software.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nubank was started in 2013 with a credit card that was controlled through a mobile app. At the time, it was the first service in Brazil that allowed customers to do banking without going to a physical bank branch.
