C6 Bank

C6 Bank is a Brazilian neobank founded in 2018 and based in São Paulo. It offers app-based checking accounts, credit cards and investments as a fully digital alternative to Brazil's incumbent banks.1

History

C6 Bank was launched by a team of former bankers to compete in Brazil's fast-growing digital banking market alongside Nubank and other challengers. It obtained a banking licence from the Central Bank of Brazil.

Founders

Marcelo Kalim is co-founder and chief executive officer of C6 Bank, a licensed Brazilian digital bank based in São Paulo. A longtime executive and significant shareholder at investment bank BTG Pactual—where he served in senior finance roles including CFO—Kalim co-founded C6 in 2018 with other former banking colleagues to compete in Brazil's fast-growing neobank market alongside Nubank.

Under Kalim, C6 launched app-based checking, credit cards, investments and business accounts, obtained a Brazilian banking licence, and later sold a major stake to JPMorgan Chase while continuing to scale as a premium-leaning digital bank brand.

Brazilian banking licence

C6 Bank operates as a licensed bank under Central Bank of Brazil supervision, competing in a market reshaped by Nubank and open-finance rules. Its product set spans retail accounts, cards, investments and business banking with premium-tier branding.

Reception

C6 is covered as a major Brazilian digital bank challenger. JPMorgan's stake purchase validated the franchise; analysts watch customer growth and credit quality in Brazil's competitive neobank landscape.

Products

The app includes checking accounts, debit and credit cards, CDs and investment products, FX-related features and business accounts. Branding emphasises a black card and premium tiers.
