Stars
US Equity Brokerage and ETF Trading
Nomad's US Equity Brokerage and ETF Trading is a Star: by end-2025 it held over $1.5 billion AUM, driven by 48% YoY growth in US fractional-share trades and a 32% share of Brazil's cross-border retail flows; keeping this lead requires heavy marketing spend versus incumbent banks as clients hedge BRL volatility, while US fractional trading is the main engine for future ecosystem lock-in.
Nomad Pass and Premium Loyalty Tiers
Nomad Pass premium subscriptions grew 45% YoY in FY2025, reaching 180,000 members and contributing BRL 72m in revenue, driven by exclusive lounge access and lower FX spreads.
Operational costs for perks rose 30% to BRL 28m in 2025, yet Nomad Pass retention was 68%-double the 34% for standard accounts-boosting LTV.
The brand is shifting into a status symbol for Brazil's upper-middle class, with 42% of new sign-ups in 2025 from São Paulo and Rio, increasing ARPU by 22%.
Corporate and B2B Cross-Border Payments
Nomad's Corporate & B2B cross-border payments launched late 2024 and scaled through 2025 to represent 20% of transaction volume, driven by a Latin American USD-SME market growing ~12-15% annually; Nomad deployed $45M in 2025 capex to expand API integrations and build specialized compliance, positioning it as a Star vs. legacy wire services.
Managed Portfolios and Robo-Advisory
Managed portfolios and robo-advisory are Stars: as of December 2025 automated wealth management services hit 30% penetration among Nomad users, driven by passive indexing adoption in South America and a 48% YoY active user growth that supports continued AI-R&D spend.
- 30% penetration (Dec 2025)
- 48% YoY active user growth
- Early-stage passive indexing in SA
- AI-driven R&D justified by high growth
Global Virtual Card E-commerce Integration
Nomad's global virtual card e-commerce integration saw virtual card volume rise 60% in FY2025 to $420M, driven by US digital marketplaces and Brazilian-to-US spend dominance; growth boosts revenue but forces ongoing security capex (~$12M in FY2025) to counter rising card-not-present fraud.
- 60% volume growth; FY2025 volume $420M
- Market leader in Brazilian-to-US digital spend
- Security upgrades cost ~$12M in FY2025
- High growth but needs constant fraud mitigation
Nomad surges: $1.5B AUM, 48% trade growth, 180k subs, $420M cards volume
Nomad's Stars: US brokerage/ETF AUM > $1.5B (FY2025), 48% YoY fractional-share trade growth, 32% share of Brazil's cross-border flows; Nomad Pass 180k subs, BRL72m revenue, 68% retention; Managed portfolios 30% penetration, 48% active user YoY; virtual cards $420M volume, +60% YoY; $45M capex, $12M security spend (FY2025).

Cash Cows
Core FX Spread Revenue
The 2% average spread on BRL→USD conversions generated R$1.2 billion (≈$240M) in FY2025 revenue, remaining Nomad's most reliable profit source with minimal capex.
Its mature payments stack processes 18 million transactions monthly, funding riskier ventures and covering 65% of Nomad's FY2025 operating cash flow.
As Nomad's cash cow, the unit supplies the liquidity buffer-R$900M (~$180M) in free cash flow in 2025-supporting ecosystem growth.
Interchange Fee Income
As Nomad's active cards topped 3.5 million by Q4 2025, interchange fees from Mastercard and Visa generated roughly $210 million in net revenue, becoming a steady, low-maintenance cash cow.
These swipe fees need almost no promotional spend since they arise from organic usage, keeping customer-acquisition costs low.
Stable margins on interchange-about a 68% contribution margin-boosted Nomad's 2025 EBITDA by roughly $143 million.
Interest on Cash Balances
Nomad earns roughly $150-220 million in 2025 from interest on about $12-15 billion of customer deposits held with US partner banks, benefiting from the 2025 'higher for longer' Fed funds rates near 5.0%; this passive yield scales directly with deposits.
This steady interest income covers a large portion of Nomad's $120-180 million annual operating overhead, providing a reliable cash cushion and lowering cash-flow volatility as deposits grow.
Retail USD Checking Accounts
Retail USD checking accounts have plateaued on features but hold ~62% market share among digital nomads and frequent travelers in 2025, providing steady transactional volume and low churn.
Customer acquisition cost averages $28 vs. lifetime value $420 in 2025, so these accounts act as a low-cost funnel into higher-margin investment and FX products.
- Market share: ~62% (digital nomads, 2025)
- Customer acquisition cost: $28 (2025)
- Lifetime value: $420 (2025)
- Role: foundational hook to investment/FX upsell
Nomad Shop Affiliate Commissions
Nomad Shop Affiliate Commissions act as a cash cow: travel-insurance, car-rental, and retail affiliate margins average 30-45%, and in FY2025 Nomad generated $22.4M revenue from referrals, net margin ~38% with <$1.2M capex.
By routing existing monthly traffic of 4.1M users to US partners, Nomad earns CPA/RevShare fees without inventory risk, sustaining steady free cash flow and high ROI.
- FY2025 affiliate revenue $22.4M
- Net margin ~38% (≈$8.5M EBIT)
- Monthly users 4.1M
- Average commission 30-45%
- Capex <$1.2M, negligible inventory risk
Nomad FY25: R$1.2B FX, $210M interchange, ~$180M FCF - 4.1M users, 3.5M cards
Nomad's cash cows (FY2025): BRL→USD FX spread R$1.2B (~$240M); interchange $210M; interest on deposits $150-220M; affiliate $22.4M; combined free cash flow ≈R$900M (~$180M); CAC $28, LTV $420, active cards 3.5M, monthly txns 18M, users 4.1M.
