Speakers

  • João Vitor Menin, Global CEO, Inter&Co
  • James Allen, Senior Advisor, Morgan Stanley & Board Member, Inter&Co 

"We decided that to compete, we had to become a retail bank. And to become a retail bank in Brazil, in a competitive market, we had to come up with something different," said João Vitor Menin of Inter&Co in a BRAVO Leadership Conversation. In conversation with Morgan Stanley's James Allen, Menin shared a story of innovation, explaining how what was a small bank at the time launched the first-ever free digital bank account in Brazil. "Sometimes, when you don't have a lot to lose, it's easier for you to try to disrupt things," Menin explained.

Menin and Allen discussed how Inter&Co got to its current offerings on its super app, as well as the significance of the bank's growth and its expansion into the U.S. market after a 2022 Nasdaq listing.
