We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited
interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Nu Holdings Ltd. (“Company”) as at March 31, 2023, the unaudited
interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income or loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month
period then ended, and notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation
and presentation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial
Reporting’ issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian
and International Standards on Review (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo
Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity,
respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware
of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023, are
not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

1. OPERATIONS
Nu Holdings Ltd. ("Company" or "Nu Holdings")
was incorporated as an exempted Company under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on February 26, 2016. The address of the Company's
registered office is Willow House, 4th floor, Cricket Square, Grand Cayman - Cayman Islands. Nu Holdings has no operating activities
with clients.
The Company’s shares are publicly traded on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “NU” and its Brazilian Depositary Receipts ("BDRs") are traded
on B3 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3"), the Brazilian stock exchange, under the symbol "NUBR33". The Company
holds investments in several operating entities and, as of March 31, 2023, its significant operating subsidiaries were:
| ● | Nu Pagamentos S.A. - Instituição de Pagamento (“Nu
Pagamentos”) is an indirect subsidiary domiciled in Brazil. Nu Pagamentos is engaged in the issuance and administration
of credit cards and payment transfers through a prepaid account, and participation in other companies as partner or shareholder. Nu Pagamentos
has as its primary products: (i) a Mastercard international credit card (issued in Brazil where it allows payments for purchases to be
made in monthly installments), fully managed through a smartphone app, and (ii) NuConta, a 100% digital smartphone app, maintenance-free
prepaid account, which also includes features of a traditional bank account, such as electronic and peer-to-peer transfers, bill payments,
withdrawals through the 24 Hours ATM network, instant payments, prepaid credit for mobile top ups and prepaid cards similar in functionality
to debit cards. |
| ● | Nu Financeira S.A. – SCFI (“Nu Financeira”)
is an indirect subsidiary also domiciled in Brazil, with personal loans and retail deposits as its main products. Nu Financeira offers
customers in Brazil the possibility to obtain loans that can be customized in relation to amounts, terms and conditions, number of installments,
and transparent disclosure of any charges involved in the transaction, fully managed through the above-mentioned smartphone app. Loan
issuance, repayment, and prepayments are available 24/7 through NuConta's account, directly in the app. Nu Financeira also grants credit
to Nu Pagamentos credit card holders, due to overdue invoices, bill installments and revolving credit, and accepts on-demand
and fixed term deposits from customers. |
| ● | Nu Invest Corretora de Valores S.A. ("Nu Invest")
is an indirect subsidiary acquired in June 2021, domiciled in Brazil, and is a digital investment broker dealer. |
| ● | Nu Distribuidora de Titulos e Valores Mobiliarios
Ltda. ("Nu DTVM") is an indirect subsidiary that executes securities brokerage
activities in Brazil. |
| ● | Nu México Financiera, S.A. de C.V., S.F.P. ("Nu Financiera")
is an indirect subsidiary domiciled in Mexico. Nu Financiera is engaged in the issuance and administration of credit cards and payment
transfers through a prepaid account. It commenced operations in the Mexican market in November 2022 and officially launched in December
2022. The credit card has similar characteristics to the Brazilian operation: an international credit card, with no annual fee, under
the Mastercard banner, 100% managed by a digital app on a smartphone. |
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
| ● | Nu Colombia S.A. (“Nu Colombia”) is an indirect
subsidiary domiciled in Colombia, with operations related to credit cards, which was launched in September 2020. On August 10, 2022, the
Financial Superintendence of Colombia ("SFC") approved the Group's request to incorporate a financing company in Colombia, Nu
Colombia Compañía de Financiamiento S.A ("Nu Colombia Financiamiento") ("Incorporation License"). Nu
Colombia Financiamiento requested the license to operate as a financial company, which is still pending approval. If the request is approved,
it will enable Nu Colombia to offer deposit products in the future, amongst other financial products. |
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in
these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the “Group” or "Nu”.
The business plan of Nu provides for the continued growth of its
Brazilian, Mexican, and Colombian operations, not only related to existing businesses, such as credit cards, personal loans, investments,
and insurance, but also complemented by the launch of new products. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements were prepared based on the assumption of the Group continuing as a going concern.
The business is affected by customer behavior throughout the year
and demonstrates seasonality effects. Historically, the Group benefited from a higher volume of transactions and related revenue in the
fourth quarter of the year due to the holiday season. However, the growth has masked this seasonality in the past, and this may become
more pronounced in the future.
The Company’s Board authorized the issuance of these unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements on May 15, 2023.
a) Level III BDR Program discontinuation
On April 5, 2023 the Board of Directors decided to resubmit its
plan for the voluntary discontinuance of its Level III BDRs Program, having approved the presentation of a new plan which would result
in the cancellation of the Level III BDRs Program with the CVM; and, following this, the cancellation of the Company's registration with
the CVM as a foreign public issuer of category "A" securities ("New Plan"). The New Plan is being submitted by the
Company to B3 and CVM for further approval. If approved in the proposed format, the New Plan provides that the current holders of the
BDRs must decide between: (i) remaining as the Company’s shareholder through the receipt of class A ordinary shares traded on the
NYSE, with certain conditions that need to be met; (ii) remaining as holders of the Company's BDRs through the receipt of Unsponsored
Level I BDRs; or (iii) if no declaration is made, the Company will sell the underlying shares on NYSE and former holders will receive
the equivalent amount ("Sales Facility").

c) NuCoin
In February 2023, Nu initiated the distribution of NuCoin, which
is the native crypto token issued from Nu that enables the loyalty network ("Nucoin Network") between Nu and its customers.
Over time, Nu aims to have other sponsoring companies (“Sponsors”) that commit to use Nucoin as their loyalty program. These
Sponsors will be entitled to a certain number of Nucoins to distribute to their customers, and will be required to offer benefits to Nucoins’
holders to incentivize the network adoption and increase the overall utility to the community.
2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards ("IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). However, selected
condensed explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understanding the changes in the Company’s
financial position and performance since the issuance of its last annual financial statements.
The Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by IASB. Accordingly, this report is to be
read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Annual Financial
Statements”).
a) Functional currency and foreign currency
translation
The presentation of the functional currency and foreign currency
translation disclosed in note 2a. of the Annual Financial Statements remain valid for these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
The functional currency for Nu Holdings and the presentation currency
of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements is the US Dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of
the Brazilian operating entities is the Brazilian real, for the Mexican entities, Mexican peso and for the Colombian entity, the Colombian
peso.
The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries held in functional
currencies that are not US$ are translated into US$, and the exchange differences arising from the translation to US$ of the financial
statements denominated in functional currencies other than the US$ are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income
or loss (OCI) as an item that may be reclassified to profit or loss within “currency translation on foreign entities”.
b) New or revised accounting pronouncements adopted
in 2023
The following new or revised standards have been issued by IASB, were
effective for the period covered by these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, and had no significant impact.
| ● | Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2); |
| ● | Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8); |
| ● | Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12);
and |
c) Other new standards and interpretations
not yet effective
| ● | Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1). |
Management does not expect the adoption of the amendments described
above to have a significant impact, other than additional disclosures, on the consolidated financial statements.
3. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounting balances of Nu Holdings and all those subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control, directly or indirectly.
Control is achieved where the Company has (i) power over the investee; (ii) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
with the investee; and (iii) can use its power to affect its profits.
The Company re-assesses whether it maintains control of an
investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three above mentioned elements of control.
The consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains
control over it and ceases when the Company loses control over it. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a subsidiary acquired
or disposed of during the reporting period are included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss from
the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
The financial information of the subsidiaries was prepared
in the same period as the Company and consistent accounting policies were applied. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are fully
consolidated with those of the Company. Accordingly, all balances, transactions and any unrealized income and expenses arising between
consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation, except for foreign-currency gain and losses on translation of intercompany
loans. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to
the non-controlling interests, when applicable.

Financiera"), a Mexican subsidiary, is regulated by both the Mexican Central Bank ("BANXICO") and Mexican National Banking
and Stock Commission (“CNBV”) and Nu Colombia, a Colombian subsidiary, is regulated by Industry and Commerce Superintendency,
and as such, there are some regulatory requirements that restrict the ability of the Group to access and transfer assets freely to or
from these entities within the Group and to settle liabilities of the Group.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies adopted by the Group in the
preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in
the Annual Financial Statements and therefore should be read in conjunction.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES
AND ASSUMPTIONS
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires judgments, estimates,
and assumptions from management that affect the application of accounting policies, and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions
to the estimates are recognized prospectively.
The significant assumptions and estimates used in the preparation
of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 were the same as
those adopted in the Annual Financial Statements.
Credit losses on financial instruments
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses
on credit cards and loans receivables that represents management’s best estimate of allowance as of each reporting date.
Management performs an analysis of the credit card and loan amounts
to determine if credit losses have occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance based on historical and current trends as well
as other factors affecting credit losses.
Key areas of judgment
The critical judgments made by management in applying the expected
credit losses (ECL) allowance methodology are:
| b) | Forward-looking information used for the projection of macroeconomic scenarios; |
| c) | Probability weights of future scenarios; |
| d) | Definition of significant increase in credit risk and lifetime; and |
| e) | Look-back period, used for parameters estimation (probability of default - PD, exposure at default - EAD
and loss given default - LGD). |
Sensitivity analysis
On March 31, 2023, the probability weighted ECL allowance totaled
US$1,631,939 of which US$1,316,028 related to credit card operations and US$315,911 to loans. The ECL allowance is sensitive to the methodology,
assumptions and estimations underlying its calculation. One key assumption is the probability weighting of the macroeconomic scenarios
between upside, base and downside as the carrying amount of the credit loss allowance is determined based on the weighted average of these
scenarios. The table below illustrates the ECL that would have arisen if management had applied a 100% weighting to each macroeconomic
scenario.

10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
a) Share settled awards
The Group’s employee incentives include share settled awards
in the form of stock, offering them the opportunity to purchase ordinary shares by exercising options (Stock Options – “SOPs”),
receiving ordinary shares (Restricted Stock Units – “RSUs”) upon vesting, and receiving shares upon the achievement
of market conditions and passage of time ("Awards").
The cost of the employee services received with respect to the
SOPs and RSUs granted is recognized in the statement of profit or loss over the period that the employee provides services and according
to the vesting conditions. The Group also issued Awards in 2020 that grant shares upon the achievement of market conditions related to
the valuation of the Company, the Awards issued in 2021 were canceled at the end of 2022. RSUs incentive was implemented in 2020 and is
the main incentive since then.
There were no changes to the terms and conditions of the SOPs and
RSUs after the grant date. The changes in the number of SOPs and RSUs are as follows. WAEP is the weighted average exercise price and
WAGDFV is the weighted average fair value at the grant date.

(i) "Receivables - current" is related to purchases made
and single installment pix (BACEN instant payments) financing by customers due on the next credit card billing date. “Receivables
- installments” is related to purchases in installments which are financed by the merchant. Credit card receivables can be paid
by our clients in up to 12, 24 and 36 monthly installments in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, respectively. The cardholder’s credit
limit is initially reduced by the total amount and the installments become due and payable on the cardholder's subsequent monthly credit
card statement. The Group makes the corresponding payments to the credit card network (see note 21) following a similar schedule. As receipts
and payments are aligned, the Group does not incur significant financing costs with this product, however it is exposed to the credit
risk of the cardholder as it is obliged to make the payments to the credit card network even if the cardholder does not pay. “Receivables
- installments” also includes the amounts of credit card bills not fully paid by the customers and that have been converted into
payments in installments with a fixed interest rate (fatura parcelada), in addition to bill financing, which comprise bills paid
in installments through the credit card, and pix financing in more than one installment.
(ii) "Receivables - revolving" is related to the amounts
due from customers that have not paid in full their credit card bill. Customers may request to convert these receivables into loans to
be paid in installments. In accordance with Brazilian regulation, revolving balances that are outstanding for more than 2 months are mandatorily
converted into fatura parcelada - a type of installment loan which is settled through the customer’s monthly credit card
bills.

Overdue installments consist mainly of revolving balances, and not
overdue installments consist mainly of current receivables and future bill installments (parcelado).
c) Credit loss allowance - by stages
As of March 31, 2023, the credit card ECL allowance totaled US$1,316,028
(US$1,050,668 as of December 31, 2022). The provision is estimated using modeling techniques, consistently applied, and is sensitive to
the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.
The amount that the credit loss allowance represents in comparison
to the Group’s gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored, to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases.
This metric is considered a key risk indicator and it is monitored across multiple committees, supporting the decision-making process
and is discussed in the credit forums.
All receivables are classified through stages, where: (i) stage
1 include all receivables not classified in stages 2 and 3; (ii) stage 2 is primarily related to all receivables more than 30 (thirty),
but less than 90 (ninety), days in arrears, or with an increase in client's behavior risk score compared to the time of the origination;
and (iii) stage 3 when receivables are more than 90 (ninety) days in arrears, or there are indications that the financial asset will not
be fully paid without a collateral or financial guarantee.
The majority of the Group's credit card portfolio was classified
as stage 1, followed by stages 2 and 3, respectively as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The proportion of stage 3 exposures increased
to 6.9% on March 31, 2023 from 6.5% on December 31, 2022. The stage 3 movement is primarily due to credit expansions done in the past
which are maturing in the portfolio, along with delinquency seasonality.

When compared to December 31, 2022, a change in the credit quality
distribution is observed, with relative exposure moving to higher PD stages. This movement is explained in the item c) Credit loss allowance
- by stages and changes to models. There is still a significant concentration of receivables at stage 1 based on credit quality. Receivables
with satisfactory risk are distributed between stages 1 and 2, mostly at stage 1.
Defaulted assets at stage 3 are classified as higher risk. There
is also a large proportion of stage 2 exposures classified as higher risk. Stage 1 receivables classified as higher risk are those
customers with low credit risk scores.

(a) Consider all accounts originated from the beginning to the
end of the period. ECL effects presented in the table were calculated as if risk parameters at the beginning of the period were applied.
(b) Reflects the movements in exposure of accounts that already
existed in the beginning of the period, as increase in credit limits. ECL effects were calculated as if risk parameters of the exposures
at the beginning of the period were applied.
(c) Relates to methodology changes that occurred during the period,
according to the Group’s processes of model monitoring.
The following tables present changes in the gross carrying amount
of the credit card portfolio to demonstrate the effects of the changes in the loss allowance for the same portfolio as discussed above.
“Net change of gross carrying amount” includes acquisitions, payments, and interest accruals.

b) Credit loss allowance - by stages
As of March 31, 2023, the loans to customers ECL allowance totaled
US$315,911 (US$300,223 as of December 31, 2022). The provision is estimated using modeling techniques, consistently applied, which is
sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.
The amount that the credit loss allowance represents in comparison
to the Group’s gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored, to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases.
This metric is considered a key risk indicator and it is monitored across multiple committees, supporting the decision-making process
and is discussed in the credit forums.
All receivables are classified through stages. The explanation
of each stage is set out in the Company’s accounting policies, as disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2022.
The majority of the Group's loans to customers’ portfolio
was classified as stage 1, followed by stages 2 and 3, respectively as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The proportion of stage
1 exposures increased to 78.5% on March 31, 2023, from 77.0% on December 31, 2022. The stage 1 movement is primarily due to the growth
of the portfolio into lower risk segments.

18. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group executes transactions with derivative financial instruments,
which are intended to meet its own needs to reduce its exposure to market, currency and interest-rate risks. The derivatives are classified
as at fair value through profit or loss, except those in cash flow hedge accounting strategies, for which the effective portion of gains
or losses on derivatives is recognized directly in other comprehensive income (loss). The management of these risks is conducted through
determining limits, and the establishment of operating strategies. The derivative contracts are considered level 1, 2 or 3 in the fair
value hierarchy and are used to hedge exposures, but hedge accounting is adopted only for forecasted transactions related to the cloud
infrastructure and certain software licenses used by Nu (hedge of foreign currency risk), to hedge interest of the fixed rate credit portfolio
(hedge of interest rate risk of portfolio) and to hedge the future cash disbursement related to highly probable future transactions and
accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes at RSU vesting or SOP exercise, as shown below.

(i) Warrants
In September 2021, Nu entered into an agreement with Creditas Financial
Solutions Ltd. (and/or its affiliates in Latin America, or together, “Creditas”) through which Nu will distribute certain
financial products offered by Creditas to its customers in Latin America. These include affordable retail collateralized loans, such as
home and auto equity loans, auto financing, motorcycle financing and payroll loans.
The agreement also provided that Nu would invest in Creditas’
securitization vehicles, becoming the holder of the senior quotas of the fund. As of March 31, 2023 the Company had a total of US$184,224
invested in Creditas’ securitization vehicles presented as FVTOCI.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
In addition, Nu was granted warrants that provide the right to
acquire an equity interest equivalent to up to 7.7% of Creditas, on a fully diluted basis, under a pre-agreed valuation, proportional
to fifty percent of the amount invested in the securitization vehicles and products distributed. The notional of the warrants is US$100,000
and is presented in the table above. Nu can exercise the warrants at any time, but the expiration date is 2 years after the issuance date.
As of March 31, 2023, the warrants' fair value was US$9,610 (US$27,908
as of December 31, 2022) calculated using a Black Scholes model, classified as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy, as shown in note 26.
The Company recognized a fair value loss of US$18,298 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The reduction in the warrant’s
fair value resulted from updates in the assumptions used in the related option pricing model, including the reduction in the remaining
exercise period of the warrants, which expire in September 2023.

Analysis of derivatives designated as hedges
a) Hedge of foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on forecast transaction
expenses, primarily related to the cloud infrastructure and certain software licenses used by Nu. The Group managed its exposures to the
variability in cash flows of foreign currency forecasted transactions to movements in foreign exchange rates by entering into foreign
exchange contracts (exchange futures). These instruments are entered into to match the cash flow profile of the estimated forecast transactions,
and are exchange-traded and fair value movements are settled on a daily basis.
The Group applies hedge accounting to the forecasted transactions
related to its main cloud infrastructure contract and other expenses in foreign currency. The effectiveness is assessed monthly by analyzing
the critical terms. The critical terms of the hedging instrument and the amount of the forecasted hedged transactions are significantly
the same. Derivatives are generally rolled over monthly. They are expected to occur in the same fiscal month as the maturity date of the
hedging instrument. Therefore, the hedge is expected to be effective. Subsequent assessments of effectiveness are performed by verifying
and documenting whether the critical terms of the hedging instrument and forecasted hedged transaction have changed during the period
in review and whether it remains probable. If there are no such changes in critical terms, the Group will continue to conclude that the
hedging relationship is effective. Sources of ineffectiveness are differences in the amount and timing of forecast and actual payment
of expenses.

b) Hedge of portfolio's interest rate risk
The Group holds portfolios of customers’ lending and
refinancing of credit cards receivables at fixed interest rates, which creates market risk due to changes in the Brazilian interbank deposits’
(CDI) benchmark rate. Thus, to protect the fixed rate risk from CDI variation, the Group entered into future DI contracts to offset the
market risk, and applied hedge accounting aiming to eliminate differences between the accounting measurement of its derivatives and hedged
items which are adjusted to reflect changes in CDI.
The Group’s overall hedging strategy is to reduce fair value
changes of the part of the fixed rate portfolio as if they were floating rate instruments linked to the attributable benchmark rates.
As such, in order to reflect the dynamic nature of the hedged portfolio, the strategy is to rebalance the future DI contracts and evaluate
the allocated amount by the credit portfolio. Additionally, ineffectiveness could arise from the disparity between expected and actual
prepayments (prepayment risk).
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
In accordance with its hedging strategy, the Group calculates the
DV01 (delta value of a basis point) of the exposure and futures to identify
the optimal hedging ratio, and monitors in a timely manner the hedge relationship, providing any rebalancing if needed. The need for the
purchase or sale of new future DI contracts will be assessed, to counterbalance the hedged item’s market value adjustment, aiming
to assure hedge effectiveness between 80% and 125%, as determined on hedge documentation.
The effectiveness test for the hedge is done in a prospective and
retrospective way. In the prospective test, the Group compares the impact of a 1 basis point parallel shift on the interest rate curve
(DV01) on the hedged object and on the hedge instrument market value. For the retrospective test, the market-to-market value change since
the inception of the hedged object is compared to the hedge instrument. In both cases, the hedge is considered effective if the correlation
is between 80% and 125%.
For designated and qualifying fair value hedges, the cumulative
change in the fair value of the hedging derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss in "Interest income and gains (losses) on financial instruments - financial assets at fair value".
In addition, the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is recorded as part of the carrying
value of the hedged item in the consolidated statement of financial position.

c) Hedge of corporate and social security taxes
over share-based compensation
The Group's hedge strategy is to cover the future cash disbursement
related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes at RSU vesting or SOP exercise
from the variation of the Company's share price volatility. The derivative financial instruments used to cover the exposure are total
return swaps ("TRS") in which one leg is indexed to the Company's stock price and the other leg is indexed to Secured Overnight
Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus spread. The stock fixed at the TRS is a weighted average price. The hedge was entered into by Nu
Holdings and therefore there is no income tax effect.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
The Group applies the cash flow hedge for the hedge structure thus
the market risk is replaced by an interest rate risk. The effectiveness assessment is performed monthly by (i) assessing the economic
relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; (ii) monitoring the credit risk impact in the hedge effectiveness; and
(iii) maintaining and updating the hedging ratio. Given the possibility of forfeiture impacting the future cash forecast of the employee
benefit plan, the Group manages exposures to keep the hedging level within an acceptable coverage. The derivative fair value is measured
substantially based on the stock price which is also used in the measurement of the provision or payment for corporate and social security
taxes. There is no expectation for a mismatch between the hedged item and hedging instrument at maturity other than the SOFR.

In June 2019, the subsidiary Nu Financeira issued a subordinated
financial note in the amount equivalent to US$18,824 at the issuance date, which was approved as Tier 2 capital by the Brazilian Central
Bank in September 2019, for the purposes of calculation of regulatory capital. The note bears a fixed interest rate of 12.8%, matures
in 2029, and is callable in 2024.
The Group designated the instruments eligible as capital at fair
value through profit (loss) at its initial recognition. The losses of fair value changes arising from its own credit risk in the amount
of US$45 were recorded in other comprehensive income (gains of US$8,192 in the year ended December 31, 2022). All other fair value changes
and interests in the amount of US$2,985 (US$7,310 in the year ended December 31, 2022) were recognized as profit (loss).

In June 2019, Nu Financeira's RDB was launched as an investment
option in NuConta. After the compulsory deposits requirements (see note 15), unlike the deposits in electronic money, Nu may or may not
invest the remaining resources from RDB’s deposits in government securities. They can be used as a financing source for the lending
and credit card operations, instead. RDB’s deposits have guarantees from the Brazilian Deposit Guarantee Fund (“FGC”)
and the return is 100% of the CDI as of the thirty-first day, also considering the retroactive yield from the first thirty days on the
unused deposit balances, with the exception of 'money boxes' modality that has daily return.
In September 2020, Nu Financeira launched a new investment option
– a RDB with a defined future maturity date. In March 2023, RDBs had maturities of up to 27 months and a weighted average interest
rate of 103% as of March 31, 2023 (and 104% on December 31, 2022) of the Brazilian CDI rate.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |

Deposits in electronic money include NuConta (Brazil and Mexico)
and Conta NuInvest amounts, the latter corresponding to on-demand deposits of the Groups’ investment brokerage clients. In Brazil,
those deposits are required by BACEN to be invested in Brazilian government bonds (see note 12b) and the return is also 100% of the CDI
as of the thirty-first day, also considering the retroactive yield from the first thirty days on the unused deposit balances. In Mexico
there is no requirement to invest the deposits in specific assets, they can be used as a financing source for the credit card operations,
and the return is the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate "TIIE" - 2%, as of March 31, 2023.Deposits in electronic money through
NuConta and part of the RDBs, correspond to customer deposits on-demand with daily maturity made in the prepaid account, denominated in
Brazilian reais.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits and administrative
proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of operations, involving tax, civil and labor matters. Such matters are being
discussed at the administrative and judicial levels, which, when applicable, are supported by judicial deposits. The provisions for probable
losses arising from these matters are estimated and periodically adjusted by management, supported by external legal advisors’ opinion.
There is significant uncertainty relating to the timing of any cash outflow, if any, for civil and labor risk.

a) Provision
Regarding tax risks, a provision in the amount of US$16,423 as
of March 31, 2023 (US$15,747 on December 31, 2022) mainly refers to a potential legal obligation related to the increase in the contribution
of certain Brazilian taxes (PIS and COFINS). The Group has a judicial deposit in the amount related to this claim, as shown below in item
c). In June 2019, Nu withdrew the lawsuit and is currently awaiting the release of the judicial deposits to the Brazilian Tax Authorities.
Civil lawsuits are mainly related to credit card operations. Based
on management’s assessment and inputs from Nu’s external legal advisors, the Group has provisioned US$3,422 (US$2,096 on December
31, 2022) considered sufficient to cover estimated losses from civil suits deemed probable.

and US$1,814 on December 31, 2022). Based on management’s assessment and inputs from the Group’s external legal advisors,
no provision was recognized for those lawsuits as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, the total amount of judicial deposits shown

Deferred revenue from rewards programs is related to the Group's
reward program for its credit card customers, called "Rewards". The program consists of accumulating points according to the
use of the credit card in the ratio of R$1.00 (one Brazilian real, equivalent to US$0.20 as of March 31,
2023 (US$0.19 as of December 31, 2022)) equal to 1 point and cashbacks. The points do not expire, and there is no limit on the
number of Rewards an eligible card member can earn. Deferred annual fees from reward program comprise amounts related to the rewards fees
which are paid annually by customers until they are earned.
The redemption of the points occurs when the customers use them
in various expense categories, such as air tickets, hotels, transportation services, and music.
Nu uses financial models to estimate the redemption rates of rewards
earned to date by current card members, and, therefore, the estimated financial value of the points, based on historical redemption trends,
current enrollee redemption behavior, among others. The estimated financial value is recorded in the profit or loss when the performance
obligation is satisfied, which is when the reward points are redeemed.
25. RELATED PARTIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Group may have issued credit
cards or loans to Nu’s executive directors, board members, key employees and close family members. Those transactions, as well as
the deposits and other products, as investments, occur on similar terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions to
unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability.
As described in note 3, "Basis of consolidation", all
companies from the Group are consolidated in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, related party
balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in the unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
In 2023, the exchange differences arising from intercompany loans
between entities of the group with different functional currencies are shown as “Interest income and gains (losses) on financial
instruments” in the statement of profit (loss).

As of March 31, 2023 the Company did not have any transaction with
other related parties. On June 30, 2021, the Group entered into a service and naming rights agreement with Rodamoinho Produtora de Eventos
Ltda., owned by a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors ("Board"). This director has not been a member of
the Board since September, 2022, when the Company ceased recognizing Rodamoinho as a related party. In addition, the Group did not make
payments for Reprograma, a philanthropic project managed by a family member of the Company’s controlling shareholder, in the three-month
period ended March 31, 2023.
26. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The main valuation techniques employed in internal models to measure
the fair value of the financial instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are set out below. The principal inputs into these
models are derived from observable market data. The Group did not make any material changes to its valuation techniques and internal models
in those periods.
a) Fair value of financial instruments carried
at amortized cost
The following tables show the fair value of the financial instruments
carried at amortized cost as of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022. The Group has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments
such as compulsory and other deposits at central banks, other financial assets at amortized cost, deposits in electronic money, RDB and
borrowings and financing, because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

| (i) | It excludes the fair value adjustment from the hedge accounting. |
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
The book value from credit card receivables and loans to customers
includes the amounts that are the hedge items of the portfolio hedge, described in note 18. The credit risk components for both receivables
are not part of the hedge strategy.
Borrowings and financing fair value is equal to the book value
given that any prepayment shall be equal to the total outstanding amount. The fair value of floating rate demand deposits are assumed
to be equal to carrying amounts.
The valuation approach to specific categories of financial instruments
is described below.
i) Fair value models and inputs
Credit card: The
fair values of credit card receivables and payables to network are calculated using the discounted cash flow method. Fair values are determined
by discounting the contractual cash flows by the interest rate curve and a credit spread. For payables, cash flows are also discounted
by the Group's own credit spread. For past due receivables, the Group used the recovery rate of late payments as an input that is not
directly observable and was estimated using the Group's internal databases.
Loans to customers:
Fair value is estimated based on groups of clients with similar risk profiles, using valuation models. The fair value of a
loan is determined by discounting the contractual cash flows by the risk-free interest rate curve and a credit spread. For past due receivables,
the Group used the recovery rate of late payments as an input that is not directly observable and was estimated using the Group's internal
databases.
Other receivables:
Fair value is calculated by discounting future cash flows by a risk free interest rate and a credit spread.
b) Fair value of financial instruments measured
at fair value
The following table shows a summary of the fair values, as of March
31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, of the financial assets and liabilities indicated below, classified on the basis of the various measurement
methods used by the Group to determine their fair value:

i) Fair value models and inputs
Securities:
The securities with high liquidity and quoted prices in the active market are classified as level 1. Therefore, all the government bonds
and some corporate bonds are included in level 1 as they are traded in active markets. Brazilian securities values are the published prices
by the 'Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais' (“Anbima”). For US, Mexico
and Colombia bonds, fair values are the published prices by Bloomberg. Other corporate bonds and investment fund shares, whose valuation
is based on observable data, such as interest rates and interest rate curves are classified as level 2.
Derivatives:
Derivatives traded on stock exchanges are classified as level 1 of the hierarchy. Derivatives traded on the Brazilian stock exchange
are fairly valued using B3 quotations. Interest rate OTC Swaps are valued by discounting future expected cash flows to present values
using interest rate curves and are classified as level 2. The embedded derivative conversion feature from the senior preferred share was
calculated based on methodologies for the share price described in note 10. The options related to the warrant from Creditas Partnership
are fair valued using a Black-Scholes model and are classified as level 3.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
Equity instrument:
For the fair value of the equity instrument, the Group used contractual conditions as inputs that are not directly observable,
and therefore it is classified as level 3.
Instruments eligible
as capital: If the instrument has an active market, prices quoted in this market are used. Otherwise, valuation techniques
are used, such as discounted cash flows, where cash flows are discounted by a risk-free rate and a credit spread. Instruments eligible
as capital were designated at fair value through profit (loss) in the initial recognition (fair value option). The fair value is the transaction
value itself given that it is a short-term one day agreement.
Repurchase agreements:
The fair value is the transaction value itself given that repurchase agreement is a collateralized short-term one day agreement.
c) Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and year ended
December 31, 2022, there were no transfers of financial instruments between levels 1 and 2 or between levels 2 and 3.
27. INCOME TAX
Current and deferred taxes are determined for all transactions
that have been recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements using the provisions of the current tax
laws. The current income tax expense or benefit represents the estimated taxes to be paid or refunded, respectively, for the current period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities.
They are measured using the tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary tax differences are expected to reverse.
a) Income tax reconciliation
The tax on the Group's pre-tax
profit differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated
entities. Thus, the following is a reconciliation of income tax expense to profit (loss) for the period, calculated by applying the combined
Brazilian income tax rate of 40% for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2023 and 2022:

(i) The tax rate used was the one applicable to the financial Brazilian
subsidiaries, which represent the most significant portion of the operations of the Group. The tax rate used is not materially different
from the average effective tax rate considering all jurisdictions where the Group has operations. The effect of other tax rates is shown
in the table above as “effect of different tax rates – subsidiaries and parent company”.
b) Deferred income taxes
The following tables present significant components of the Group’s
deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the changes for the periods then ended. The accounting
records of deferred tax assets on income tax losses and/or social contribution loss carryforwards, as well as those arising from timing
differences, are based on technical feasibility studies which consider the expected generation of future taxable income, considering the
history of profitability for each subsidiary individually. The Group has no time limit for use of the deferred tax assets, but the use
of the deferred tax asset related to tax loss and negative basis of social contribution is limited to 30% of taxable profit per year for
the Brazilian entities.

gains and losses on the retranslation of the Group’s investment in foreign operations. These amounts will remain under this heading
until they are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit (loss) in the periods in which the hedged items affect it, for example,
in the case of the cash flow hedge.
The own credit reserve reflects the cumulative own credit gains

29. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS,
AND OTHER RISKS
a) Overview
The Group monitors the risks that could have a material impact
on its strategic objectives, including those that must comply with applicable regulatory requirements. To efficiently manage and mitigate
these risks, the risk management structure conducts risk identification and assessment to prioritize the risks that are key to pursue
potential opportunities and/or that may prevent value from being created or that may compromise existing value, with the possibility of
having impacts on financial results, capital, liquidity, customer relationship and reputation.
Risks that are actively monitored include:
| 3. | Market
Risk and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB); |
| 4. | Operational
Risk / Information Technology/Cyber Risk; |
| 8. | Risks
from cryptocurrency business. |
b) Risk management structure
Nu considers Risk Management an important pillar of the Group's
strategic management. The risk management structure broadly permeates the entire Company, with the objective of ensuring that risks are
properly identified, measured, mitigated, monitored and reported, in order to support the development of its activities. Risk Management
is related to the principles, culture, structures and processes to improve the decision-making process and the achievement of strategic
objectives. It is a continuous and evolving process that runs through Nu's entire strategy, to support Management in minimizing its losses,
as well as maximizing its profits and supporting the Company's values.
The Group's risk management structure considers the size and complexity
of its business, which allows tracking, monitoring and control of the risks to which it is exposed. The risk management process is aligned
with management guidelines, which, through committees and other internal meetings, define strategic objectives, including risk appetite.
Conversely, the capital control and capital management units provide support through risk and capital monitoring and analysis processes.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
The Group considers a risk appetite statement (“RAS”)
to be an essential instrument to support risk management and decision making. The
Board reviews and approves the RAS, as guidelines and limits for the business plan and capital deployment. Nu has defined a RAS
(aligned to local regulatory requirements) that prioritizes the main risks and, for each of these, qualitative statements and quantitative
metrics expressed in relation to earnings, capital, risk measures, liquidity and other relevant measures were implemented, as appropriate.
Nu operates on the three-line model, which helps to identify structures
and processes that best support the achievement of objectives and facilitate a robust governance and risk management structure.
| ● | First line: business functions and support functions/areas
or activities that generate exposure to risk, whose managers are responsible for managing them in accordance with policies, limits and
other conditions defined and approved by the Executive Board. The first line must have the means to identify, measure, treat and report
risks. |
| ● | Second line: consisting of the areas of Risk Management, Internal
Controls and Compliance, it is responsible for ensuring an effective control of risks and that they are managed in accordance with the
defined appetite level. Responsible for proposing risk management policies, developing risk models and methodologies, and first-line supervision. |
| ● | Third line: composed of the Internal Audit, it is responsible
for periodically and independently evaluating whether policies, methods and procedures are adequate, in addition to verifying their effective
implementation. |
Another important element of the risk management framework is the
structure of Technical Forums and Committees. These governance bodies were designed and implemented to monitor and make decisions on aspects
associated with the Group's management and control. Nu has implemented this structure both at a Global and a country-level perspective,
as described below.
Global risk-related Governance body:
| ● | Audit and Risk Committee: established as a Board of Director
level committee in order to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities to the Company’s shareholders with respect
to: evaluating the performance and progress of the work of the Internal Audit, the independent audit, as well as the respective reports
related to the internal control systems, following the recommendations made by the internal and independent auditors to management, reviewing
and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements,
overseeing the performance of overall Nu's risk management framework and control functions, and monitoring the level of risk exposure
according to the RAS (consolidated view by country). It consists of at least three members and meets at least quarterly. |
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
Country-level risk-related Governance bodies:
Each of the countries where the Group has operations established
a structure of governance based on the relevant regulatory requirements and composed of the following elements. Depending on the nature
of the subject to be managed, some Committees and meetings can be grouped to cover more than one country.
| ● | Risk Committee: its objective is to assist the country's executive
officers in the performance of the entity’s risk management and control functions, monitoring the level of risk exposure according
to risk appetite. It also aims to adopt strategies, policies and measures directed at disseminating a culture of internal controls and
risk mitigation. |
| ● | Credit Committee: its objective is to review and supervise
credit strategies, as well as review the impacts on the subsidiary's results, and to review the credit strategies in light of the macroeconomic
environment and risk information, on the credit market and on competitors. |
| ● | Audit Committee: its main duties are to evaluate the performance
and progress of the work of the Internal Audit function, the independent auditors, and the respective reports related to the internal
control systems, to follow the recommendations made by internal and independent auditors to management, and to review and discuss with
management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements. |
| ● | Technical Forums: regular meetings to discuss and propose recommendations
to the country-level Risk Committee. Depending on the materiality in each of the countries, each topic listed below can have its own Technical
Forum, with the participation of executives from associated areas such as: accounting and tax, operational risk and internal controls,
asset and liability management ("ALM") / capital, information technology and cyber risks ("IT"), data protection,
Compliance and anti-money laundering ("AML"), fraud prevention, stress tests, product review and credit provisions. Each Technical
Forum has its own charter, establishing the scope of work, voting members and other working model attributes. |
c) Risks actively monitored
The risks that are actively monitored by the Group include Credit
Risk, Market Risk, Interest rate risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB), Liquidity Risk, Operational Risk, Internal Controls, Information Technology
and Cyber Risk, Model Risk, Compliance and Anti-money laundering (AML). The management of these risks is carried out according to the
three-line model, considering policies and procedures in place, as well as the limits established in the RAS. Also, there is a Stress
Testing program in place.
Each of the risks described below has its own methodologies, systems
and processes for its identification, measurement, evaluation, monitoring, reporting, control and mitigation.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
In the case of financial risks, such as credit, liquidity, IRRBB
and market risk, the measurement is carried out based on quantitative models and, in certain cases, prospective scenarios in relation
to the main variables involved, respecting the applicable regulatory requirements and best market practices. Non-financial risks, such
as operational risk and technological/cyber risks, are measured using impact criteria (inherent risk), considering potential financial
losses, reputational damage, customer perception and legal/regulatory obligations, as well as evaluated in relation to the effectiveness
of the respective structure of internal controls.
Based on the results of the measurement and risk assessment activities,
the adherence of the residual exposure to Nu's risk appetite is verified. Necessary actions to mitigate risks are presented and discussed
in the governance structure (Technical Forums and Risk Committees), which are also the channels responsible for approving and monitoring
the implementation of action plans.
● Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the possibility of losses associated
with failure of customers or counterparties to pay their contractual obligations; the depreciation or reduction of the expected gains
from financial instruments due to the deterioration of the credit quality of customers or counterparties; the costs of recovering the
deteriorated exposure; and any advantage given to customers or counterparties due to deterioration in their credit quality.
The credit risk control and management structure is independent
of the business units, being responsible for the processes and tools to measure, monitor, control and report the credit risk of products
and other financial operations, continuously verifying their adherence to the policies and structure of approved limits. There is also
an assessment of the possible impacts arising from changes in the economic environment, in order to ensure that the loan portfolio is
resilient to economic crises.
Credit risk management is carried out by the Credit Risk team with
a centralized role independent of the business units, being responsible for:
| ● | Establishing governance, policies and procedures aimed at maintaining exposure to credit risks in accordance
with the levels set in the RAS;
|
| ● | Monitoring and notifying management of the risk levels (appetite compliance) of the credit portfolio, including
recommendations for improvement, when applicable;
|
| ● | Identifying and assessing inherent risks and respective mitigators in the launch of new products and significant
changes in existing processes; and
|
| ● | Estimating the expected losses according to consistent and verifiable criteria. |

Liquidity risk is defined as:
| ● | the ability of an entity to fund increases in assets and meet obligations as they come due, without incurring
unacceptable losses; and |
| ● | the possibility of not being able to easily exit a financial position due to its size compared to the
traded volume in the market. |
The liquidity risk management structure
uses future cash flow data, applying what Nu believes to be a severe stress scenario to these cash flows, in order to measure that the
volume of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) that the Group has is sufficient to guarantee its resilience even in very adverse situations.
Assets are considered to be HQLA if they can be easily and immediately converted into cash at little or no loss of value. In this definition
we consider Brazilian government bonds that are not blocked as margin requirements, unencumbered deposits at Brazilian Central Bank and
Reverse Repo. The liquidity indicators are monitored daily.
The Group has a Contingency Funding
Plan for the Brazilian entities that describes possible management actions that should be taken in the event of a deterioration of the
liquidity indicators.

rate of Brazilian Reais, and Mexican and Colombian Pesos to US$ as of March 31, 2023.
| ● | Market risk and interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) |
Market risk is defined as the risk of losses arising from movements
in market risk factors, such as interest rate risk, equities, foreign exchange (FX) rates, commodities prices. IRRBB refers to the current
or prospective risk to an entity's capital and earnings arising from adverse movements in interest rates that affect the banking book
positions.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
There is a market risk & IRRBB control and management structure,
independent from the business units, which is responsible for the processes and tools to measure, monitor, control and report the market
risk and IRRBB, continuously verifying the adherence with the approved policies and limit’s structure.
Management of market risk and IRRBB is based on metrics that are
reported to the Asset & Liability Management and Capital ("ALM") Technical Forum and to the country-level Risk Committee.
Management is authorized to use financial instruments as outlined in the Group's internal policies to hedge market risk & IRRBB exposures.
Management of market risk and interest rate risk in the banking
book (IRRBB) is based on the following metrics:
| ● | Interest Rate Sensitivity (DV01): impact on the market value of cash flows, when submitted to a one basis point increase in the
current annual interest rates or index rate; |
| ● | Value at Risk (VaR): maximum market value loss for a holding period with a confidence level; and |
| ● | FX exposures: considering all financial positions that bring FX risk and operational expenses in other
currencies. |
The table below presents the VaR which uses a confidence level
of 99% and a holding period of 10 days, by a historical simulation approach, with a 5-year historical window. For Brazil, it is calculated
only for the Trading Book in line with the way portfolios are managed. For Nu Holdings, it is considering only financial assets held directly
by Nu Holdings, and it is not considering assets in other countries, including Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. Positions in Colombia and
Mexico are not significant as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The interest rate risk in Colombia and in Brazilian subsidiaries
other than Nu Pagamentos and Nu Financeira is not significant as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. To maintain DV01 sensitivities
within defined limits, interest rate futures, traded in B3, and swaps derivatives are used to hedge interest rate risk.
Foreign exchange (FX) risk
The financial information may exhibit volatility due to the Group’s
operations in foreign currencies, such as the Brazilian Real and Mexican and Colombian Pesos. At the Nu Holdings level, there is no net
investment hedge for investments in other countries.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none of the entities
of the Group had significant financial instruments in a currency other than their respective functional currencies.
The functional currency of the entities in Brazil is the Brazilian
Real. Certain costs in US Dollars and Euros, or intercompany loans in US Dollars, are hedged with futures contracts, traded on the B3
exchange, based on projections of these costs, or when there are new exposures. Hedge transactions are adjusted when internal cost projections
change and when the FX derivatives expire. As a result, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have no significant
exposures to exchange rates after the hedge transactions take effect.
Operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses resulting
from external events or from failure, deficiency or inadequacy of internal processes, people or systems. In this context, the legal risk
associated with inadequacy or deficiency in contracts signed by Nu, sanctions due to non-compliance with legal provisions and compensations
for damages to third parties arising from the activities developed by the Company must also be considered.
The structure of control and management of operational risk and
internal controls is independent of the business and support units, being responsible for the identification and assessment of operational
risks, as well as for evaluating the design and effectiveness of the internal controls, covering risks such as system and services disruption,
external fraud and failures in activities involved in payment scheme arrangements. This structure is also responsible for the preparation
and periodic testing of the business continuity plan and for coordinating the risk assessment in new product launches and significant
changes to existing processes.
Within the governance of the risk
management process, mechanisms are presented to identify, measure, evaluate, monitor, and report operational risk events to each business
and support area (first line), in addition to disseminating the control culture to other employees. The main results of risk assessments
are presented in the Technical Forum on Operational Risk and Internal Controls and in the Risk Committee, when applicable. Applicable
improvement recommendations result in action plans with planned deadlines and responsibilities.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
● Information Technology/Cyber ("IT")
risk
IT/Cyber risk is defined as the undesirable effects arising from
a range of possible threats to the information technology infrastructure, including cybersecurity (occurrence of information security
incidents), incident management (ineffective incident/problem management process, impact about service levels, costs and customer dissatisfaction),
identity and access management (unauthorized access to sensitive information), data management (lack of compliance with data privacy laws
or gaps in data management governance or data leakage issues), among others.
As the Group operates in a challenging environment in terms of
cyber threats, it continuously invests in controls and technologies to defend against these threats. IT risks, including cyber risk, are
a priority area for Nu, thus there is a dedicated IT Risk structure, which is part of the second line. This team is independent from IT-related
areas, including Engineering, IT Operations, and Information Security.
The IT/Cyber Risks area is responsible for identifying, evaluating,
measuring, monitoring, controlling, and reporting Information Technology risks in relation to the risk appetite levels approved by the
Executive Board. The Group continually assesses Nu's exposure to threat risk and their potential impacts on the business and customers.
The Group continues to improve its IT and cybersecurity capabilities and controls, also considering that people are an essential component
of the security strategy, ensuring that the employees and third-party consultants are aware of prevention measures and also know how to
report incidents.
The results of the IT risk and controls assessments are regularly
discussed at the IT Risk Technical Forum and presented to the Risk Committee when applicable. The applicable improvement recommendations
result in action plans with planned deadlines and responsibilities.
● Regulatory risk
In a complex and highly regulated environment, legislative and
regulatory initiatives may result in significant changes to Nu's regulatory framework and consequently its business activities.
To address such risks Nu maintains teams in Brazil, Colombia and
Mexico dedicated to monitoring these changes and engaging to explain their potential impacts to the Group and the broader financial industry.
Legislative and regulatory initiatives that can present a material
impact to the Group are brought to the attention of the Risk Committee and the management team allowing the Group, when necessary, to
adjust its strategy and decide on the best course of action to deal with such changes.
● Compliance
risk
As the Group operates in a highly
regulated environment, a robust Compliance program was established within the second line of defense. Nu has resources dedicated to the
Ethics Program, Regulatory Compliance as well as to Anti Money Laundering Program and Combating the Financing of Terrorism.
The Ethics Program sets the minimum
conduct standards for the organization, including Code of Conduct, Compliance Policies, Training, and Awareness Campaigns, as well as
an independent Whistleblower Channel. Some examples include the anti-bribery and corruption risks, conflict of interest, related parties,
insider trading as well as any violations from Nu's Code of Conduct.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
The Regulatory Compliance team is focused on overseeing the regulatory
adherence of the organization. Main activities involve regulatory tracking and managing the regulatory adherence, assessment of new products
and features, advisory, Compliance testing as well as centralizing the relationship with regulators regarding requests of information
and exams. By not being in compliance with laws and regulations, the Group may be exposed to sanctions, loss of license as well as potential
criminal implications on management.
Nu's Anti Money Laundering (AML) Program represents the global
framework and guidelines for AML and Combating Terrorism Financing (CTF) and is the basis for the AML team's strategic planning. It involves
the risk of the company being exposed to sanctions for not implementing controls to avoid AML or terrorism financing.
The Program is structured in three levels - strategic, tactical
and operational - and it's composed of 7 pillars (strategic level): Enterprise Risk Assessment; Policies and Procedures; Communication
and Training; Know Your Customer (KYC); Due Diligence (KYE, KYS, KYP and KYB); MSAC - Monitoring, Selection, Analysis and Communication
(SAR); and Effectiveness Assessment Program.
● Reputational risk
The Group believes that the materialization of other risks can
negatively impact its reputation, as they are intrinsically connected. Unfavorable events in different risk areas such as business continuity,
cyber security, ethics and integrity, social media negative activity, among others, can damage Nu's reputation.
Therefore, the Group has teams and processes in place dedicated
to overseeing external communication and for crisis management, which are key elements in identifying and mitigating reputational events,
as well as to gain long-term insight to better prevent or respond to future events.
Risks from cryptocurrency business
In addition to the risks set out above, the Group's
activities and services related to cryptocurrency (NuCrypto) generate specific risks which are directly related to cryptocurrency technology.
NuCrypto utilizes the services of an agent in the operation and management of the cryptocurrency business activity. The Group keeps a
copy of the records maintained by the agent as well as its own internal tracking of customers' assets for reconciliation purposes. NuCrypto
may have a liability to indemnify customers under consumer protection laws (like any other supplier of goods and services in Brazil) but
the agent is obligated to secure the assets and protect them from loss and theft. Furthermore, the agent holds insurance for potential
losses which the Group would seek to make claims upon if required, with any benefit obtained being transferred to impacted customers.
Stress testing
The stress testing program considers shocks/impacts to Nu's main
products, such as credit cards, personal loans and funding instruments, in addition to their respective sub-products. Scenarios are considered
in which stress is applied in isolation, at different levels of intensity and probability, and also scenarios in which managerial actions
are considered to increase the Group's resilience and preserve its capital and liquidity indicators.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
The proposed scenarios are presented to the Stress Testing Technical
Forum. The scenarios to be addressed, duration and severity and plausibility of each shock are discussed, as well as the ways in which
they will be modeled and the level of detail required. After modeling and executing the tests, the results are submitted to the appropriate
committees and technical forums, an integral part of Nu's risk management structure. The proposed actions aimed at ensuring the Group's
resilience are discussed and approved. The Stress Testing Program is updated annually and defines which tests the team must undertake
in the next 12 months.
30. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The purpose of capital management is to maintain the capital adequacy
for Nu's operation through control and monitoring of the capital position, to evaluate the capital necessity according to the risk taken
and strategic aim of the organization and to establish a capital planning process in accordance with future requirements of regulatory
capital, based on the Group's growth projections, risk exposure, market movements and other relevant information. Also, the capital management
structure is responsible for identifying sources of capital, for writing and submitting the capital plan and capital contingent plan for
approval by the Executive Directors.
At the executive level, the ALM Technical Forum is responsible
for approving risk assessment and capital calculation methodologies, and reviewing, monitoring, and recommending capital-related action
plans to the Risk Committee.
a) Minimum capital requirements
In Brazil, the local entities must comply with two different regulatory
capital requirements: one for the Financial Conglomerate, led by Nu Financeira and composed of Nu Financeira along with Nu DTVM and Nu
Invest, and the other applicable to Nu Pagamentos:
| ● | Financial Conglomerate: minimum level of capital, considering the minimum requirements for financial institutions
according to Brazilian Federal Monetary Council (“CMN”) Resolution 4,958/21. |
| ● | Nu Pagamentos: minimum level of capital, considering the minimum requirements for payment institutions,
according to Circular BACEN 3,681/13. |
In March 2022, BACEN issued Resolution No. 200 which provides new
prudential rules for payment institutions requiring a phased implementation that foresees an increase in the capital requirements applicable
to credit card operations in Brazil. The Group's management understands that its capital is adequate to comply with the requirement of
this new resolution.
In September 2021, Nu acquired Nu Mexico Financiera, S.A. de C.V.,
S.F.P., formerly AKALA, S.A. DE C.V., (“Akala”), a Mexican Financial Cooperative Association ("SOFIPO") and regulated
by the CNBV (Comisión Nacional Bancaria Y De Valores). The regulatory capital requirements for this entity are defined by the
NICAP metric (“nivel de capitalización”) set by the CNBV, which is comparable to the Basel Ratio methodology.
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |
Nu Colombia is in the process of requesting a license from the
SFC ("Superintendencia financiera de Colombia"), "Licencia de Compañía de financiamiento", which
would allow it to offer several consumer credit and deposit products. In August 2022 the SFC granted the incorporation license for “Nu
Colombia Compañía de Financiamiento S.A.”, and by the end of October 2022 the incorporation was completed. The next
step is to receive the operational license. Once “Nu Colombia Compañía de Financiamiento S.A.'' becomes operational,
the regulator requires it to comply with the capital ratio defined in “Ley de margen de solvencia” which indicates three capital
ratios: basic solvency, additional basic solvency and total solvency.
Nu implemented a capital management structure with the purpose
of maintaining a higher level of capital than the minimum regulatory requirements.
b) Composition of capital
i) Financial conglomerate in Brazil
The regulatory capital used to monitor the compliance of a
financial conglomerate with the Basel operating limits imposed by the Brazilian Central Bank, is the sum of two items, as follows:
| ● | Tier I Capital: the sum of Common Equity Capital Tier I, which consists of paid in capital, capital, reserves
and retained earnings, less deductions, and prudential adjustments and the Additional Tier I, which consists of subordinated debt instruments
without a defined maturity that meet eligibility requirements. |
| ● | Tier II Capital: consists of subordinated debt instruments with defined maturity dates that meet eligibility
requirements. Together with the Common Equity Tier I it composes the Total Capital. |
| | Nu Holdings Ltd. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 |
| | |

Nu Mexico Financiera’s capital management aims to determine
the capital needed for its growth and to plan additional sources of capital, to permanently maintain its Regulatory Capital higher than
the requirements defined by the CNBV.
As of March 31, 2023, its regulatory capital was equivalent to
US$458,461 (US$428,067 as of December 31, 2022), resulting in a Capital ratio of 44.75% (44.62% as of December 31, 2022), with 10.5% being
the minimum required for Category 4 SOFIPO.
31. SEGMENT INFORMATION
In reviewing the operational performance of the Group and allocating
resources, the Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Group (“CODM”), who is the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”),
reviews the consolidated statement of profit (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
The CODM considers the whole Group as a single operating and reportable
segment, monitoring operations, making decisions on fund allocation, and evaluating performance. The CODM reviews relevant financial data
on a combined basis for all subsidiaries.
The Group’s income, results, and assets for this one reportable
segment can be determined by reference to the consolidated statement of profit (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), as well as
the consolidated statements of financial position.

a) Accounting for crypto-assets - Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 121 ("SAB 121")
In March 2022, the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 121, which addresses the rights and obligations of
the parties to a crypto asset safeguarding arrangement. SAB 121 explains that an issuer that has obligations to safeguard digital assets
held for their platform users should recognize those digital assets and a liability to return them to the customers, both of which are
measured at fair value.
In June 2022, the Group launched
a platform, through its subsidiary Nu Crypto Ltda. ("Nu Crypto"), which allows clients to trade crypto assets, in partnership
with a specialized broker. The custody activity is performed by the broker, which holds the cryptographic key information, and the Company's
contractual arrangements state that its customers retain legal ownership of the crypto; have the right to sell or transfer the crypto
assets; and also benefit from the rewards and bear the risks associated with the ownership, including as a result of any crypto price
fluctuations. The Company maintains an internal recordkeeping of the crypto assets held for the customers.
The Group concluded that
its activities may create crypto-asset safeguarding obligations (as defined in SAB 121) to its customers as a result of certain technological,
legal and regulatory risks and, therefore, it should record a safeguarding liability and a corresponding asset at the fair value of the
crypto assets held by customers on the Group’s platform.
The following table summarizes
the balances relating to crypto assets held for customers. For the purpose of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements, which were prepared to specifically attend CVM requirements, the asset and liability have not been recognized.
