Nubank, one of the largest digital financial services platforms in the world, shares the impact of Modo Rua (a security feature that allows customers to set transaction limits for when they leave their houses) during the Carnaval period in Brazil.

More than 1 million people have activated the security tool in the Nu app so far – 300,000 only during the Carnaval holiday, to enjoy an extra layer of protection and avoid fraud during the festivities. 

You can find more information on how to activate Modo Rua (Street Mode) in this video available on Nubank's YouTube channel, and reinforcement of security functions on the SOS Nu and in this content from the blog about the institution's Invisible Defenses, which provide a more fluid and safe experience.
