- Keep the app updated — limit analyses are done automatically based on usage.
- Register your income in the app — report salary increases or extra income to strengthen your profile.
- Avoid delays — any late payment can block future increases.
- Use the card in different categories — purchases at the supermarket, pharmacy, and services show diversification.

Guide to getting a Nubank Card
Nubank offers two ways to increase your credit limit. The automatic increase occurs every 3 to 6 months, based on card usage.
Manual applications can be made at any time via chat, but require a credit check.
Real data: According to user reports, those who pay their bill in full and use more than 50% of their credit limit have an 80% chance of receiving an automatic increase within 4 months.
Signs of trustworthiness: Nubank is regulated by the Central Bank and has over 50 million customers. Analyses are performed by automated and secure systems.
Common mistakes when trying to increase the limit
- Paying only the minimum wage indicates financial hardship and reduces the chances of a raise.
- Making too many installment purchases compromises future income and scares the bank.
- Using the card for withdrawals — withdrawals have fees and show desperation for cash.
- Exceeding the limit — going over the limit results in a fine and indicates misuse.
- Requesting a raise multiple times — each request generates a query to Serasa, which can lower your score.
Urgency: why do it now?
Nubank constantly reviews credit limits, but the best opportunities arise during peak consumption periods, such as the end of the year and Black Friday. If you prepare now, you'll have a high credit limit when you need it most.
Furthermore, the sooner you demonstrate good financial behavior, the faster your credit limit will increase. Don't wait until you're in need.
