TC Ensina: how to apply for an additional credit card at Nubank

If you follow us on a daily basis, then you’ve probably noticed that in addition to keeping you informed, we’re always trying to add more knowledge to your everyday life, with tips and tutorials so you can get the most out of your devices and apps.

Today, continuing this routine, we present another tip; this time, for Nubank users! Learn how to apply for an additional card with a financial institution below.

Different cards and passwords, but shared limit and expenses in a single invoice. The additional credit card can be a great alternative for anyone who wants to provide credit to close people such as dependents, spouses, friends, minors and people with negative names.

Through it, the holder can make purchases as if it were a normal card, with total autonomy. The difference, however, is that the person responsible for paying the invoice will always be the main cardholder – since the statement of all cards will appear in only one place.

So be careful! Only provide an additional card to people you trust completely and set a limit value for purchases that are within your reality. After all, if you give a friend an additional card under the promise of getting back the amount spent every month and he can’t pay, you’re always going to have to bear the costs.

Basically, an additional card can be requested by the holder of the main card in the name of any person – be it a friend, spouse, adult or minor child, relative and even a person with a negative name. At Nubank, the only requirement is that the person who will receive the card has an account with the bank (regardless of age or financial status).

See below how to apply for the card. For the time being, each Nubank customer can only request one additional card.
