Brazil-based digital banking giant Nubank said on Tuesday it is launching a travel booking platform for its high-income Nubank Ultravioleta clients.
The service, called “NuViagens”, will be available to customers in the coming months and will be accessible through the Nubank Ultravioleta app, which also offers flight and hotel bookings.
NuViagens will be backed by Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS) as part of an exclusive partnership with NuBank announced last year.
The platform offers a lowest price guarantee on flights and hotels, as well as flight price monitoring and suggestions on the best time to buy.

Nubank is a digital banking and financial services company operating in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. It is the largest fintech bank in Latin America with over 100 million customers.
“With NuViagens, Ultravioleta's customers have a differentiated solution and can access a practical and secure platform to simplify their leisure planning, while being confident that they have made the best choice and are guaranteed the best price,” said Livia Chanes, CEO of Nubank in Brazil.
Last week, HTS, the B2B division of global travel platform Hopper, announced a partnership with South Korea-based credit card issuer Lotte Card to offer flights, accommodation and car rentals on its travel booking portal for its cardholders.
HTS now accounts for two-thirds of Hopper's business, serving millions of travelers around the world. In February, it partnered with AirAsia MOVE to offer travelers a “cancel for any reason” ancillary service. HTS's other partners include Air Canada, Trip.com, Amadeus, NuBank and Uber.
