Brazil's Nubank says false message on liquidation resulted from operational error

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 06/12/26 12:13 PM EDT

SAO PAULO, June 12 (Reuters) - Brazilian digital lender Nubank said on Friday it was aware of an erroneous message sent to customers claiming the firm was liquidated by the country's central bank, adding the incident resulted from an "one-time operational error."

In a statement, Nubank, which is listed in New York under Nu Holdings (NU), said the incident was under internal investigation, and did not affect clients' data protection. The lender's operations continue as usual, it said.

Earlier on Friday, dozens of customers reported receiving a message from the lender, via app and e-mail, saying the firm had been liquidated by Brazil's central bank. The regulator did not immediately reply to a request for comment. (Reporting by Fernando Cardoso and Andre Romani, Editing by I?igo Alexander)

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
