Here's the thing about Nubank: the name screams "bank," but legally? It's something else entirely. They're facing a real branding paradox—when your name promises one thing and your regulatory status delivers another, that's not just confusing. It's a whole identity problem waiting to be untangled.

Haha, nubank, that name is really clever. Calling itself a bank but doing non-bank things... Isn't this just digging its own grave?

The name is Bank, but legally it's not, and this trick is really clever, haha.

This name is just a trap. It operates under the guise of a bank but isn't legally recognized as one. The sense of disconnect is incredible.

well technically nubank's doing the classic "promise one thing, deliver regulatory compliance™" dance—imagine if your identity was just a bad proof sketch lol. the branding paradox hits different when regulators won't sign off on your actual vibe ngl

The name is actually not "bank," but that's a common trick in Web3. Just changing the name to deceive people, huh haha

Nah, this is just outrageous. The name is written as "bank," but legally it’s not. Isn't this just playing with words? ... Nubank has indeed dug a pit this time.
