Nu Colombia announces the refund of the 4x1000 tax on some of its products through 'Operation Day 501'

TL;DR

  • Nu Colombia is launching 'Operation Day 501' to refund the 4x1000 tax on CDT investments.
  • The initiative is a response to the delayed implementation of a law allowing multiple tax-exempt bank accounts.
  • The 4x1000 tax can cost Colombians up to $800,000 pesos annually.
  • The refund applies to new money invested in Nu's CDTs between May 5-9, 2026, compared to the balance on May 4, 2026.
  • Customers must register via the Nu mobile app to participate.
  • Nu sees this as a corporate decision to absorb costs citizens are still bearing, not a traditional commercial campaign.
  • Nu is a global digital financial services platform with over 131 million customers.
