Nubank Crypto expands crypto price alert feature

São Paulo, July 22, 2024 - Nubank announces the expansion of the cryptocurrency price alert service available on NubankCripto, the crypto trading platform on the Nubank app. Throughout August, all of the company's 92 million customers in Brazil will have access to the feature.

Through the new tool, users can activate alert notifications based on three price variations, either up or down: 3%, 6%, or 9% - always within a 24-hour period - for a total of 14 cryptocurrencies currently available for trading on Nubank Cripto. This feature is available within the Automation section in crypto, which also includes the possibility of scheduled buying.

In the proposed experience, Nubank removes common layers of complexity in creating price alerts, such as searching for the digital asset and manually setting up values and frequencies. On Nubank Cripto, defining multiple alerts for the available cryptocurrencies is done in just a few clicks, with the possibility of receiving notifications via push directly in the app. By tapping on the notification, customers will be redirected to the cryptocurrency detail screen, where they can get more information about the variation and make the best decision about buying or selling the digital asset. Users can opt out of the service at any time, ensuring full control over their notification preferences.
