Nubank advises that individuals communicate directly with the bank through official means such as websites, apps, call centers, among others. The digital institution also highlights the importance of having an account on gov.br, as the next stage of Desenrola requires registration in this government system.
The fintech also asks customers to be cautious with dubious links, as government officials always end with “.gov.br”. In conclusion, Nubank emphasizes that joining the program is free of charge, that is, there are no membership fees.
