Nubank appears primed to launch in Colombia, its second international expansion after Mexico.
Brazil-based neobank giant Nubank reportedly plans to launch in Colombia, which would mark its third market following Brazil and Mexico.

The neobank's strategy of targeting underserved yet tech-savvy populations has supported its rapid growth.
