Nubank, the Brazilian financial services company, has raised $180 million from the Chinese internet giant, Tencent.
Tencent has long been interested in financial services startups, and with its $90 million direct investment and another $90 million investment in the secondary market, the company now has access to what is arguably the largest digital banking company in the world.
With the $4 billion valuation, it also makes Nubank one of the most highly valued privately held startups in Latin America.
