Brazil-based Nubank launches travel booking platform

Must read

Brazil-based digital banking giant Nubank on Tuesday announced the launch of a travel booking platform for its high-income Nubank Ultravioleta customers.

Called “NuViagens,” it will be available to the customers over the next few months and can be accessed in the Nubank Ultravioleta app, offering air and hotel bookings.

NuViagens will be powered by Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS) as part of its exclusive partnership with NuBank announced last year.

The platform offers a best-price guarantee for flights and hotels, along with price monitoring and best purchase time indications for flights.

Nubank is a digital bank and financial services company that operates in  Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. It’s the largest fintech bank in Latin America with more than 100 million customers.

“With NuViagens, Ultravioleta customers will have a differentiated solution, with access to a practical, secure platform that will simplify the planning of leisure moments – all with the certainty of having made the best choice and with the guarantee of the best price,” said Livia Chanes, CEO of Nubank in Brazil.

Just last week HTS, the B2B division of the global travel platform Hopper, announced a deal with Korea-based credit card issuer Lotte Card to offer flights, accommodations and car rentals on a travel booking portal for its cardholders.

HTS now accounts for two-thirds of the Hopper business and reaches millions of travelers around the world. In February it partnered with AirAsia MOVE to offer a “cancel for any reason” ancillary to its travelers. Additional HTS partners include Air Canada, Trip.com, Amadeus, NuBank and Uber.
