Nubank Wants To Pay Up To £10 Billion For Monzo. That Is ...

Monzo is also weighing a new funding round as Nubank seeks access to its 16 million customers and a foothold in Europe.

  • On Monday, Nubank stocks fell over 8.5% after reports emerged that the Brazilian bank is in talks to acquire British digital bank Monzo Bank for between $10.8 billion and $13.5 billion.
  • Seeking a European foothold, Nubank—led by Nubank CEO and Co-Founder David Velez—is eyeing Monzo's more than 16 million customers, marking a strategic pivot from its North America focus.
  • Monzo has hired Morgan Stanley and Qatalyst to advise on the potential sale, which could value the firm at up to £10 billion and would likely be paid in cash and shares.
  • A sale would rule out a near-term London Stock Exchange listing for Monzo, despite pressure from Government ministers to list, while rival Revolut plans a dual London and Nasdaq listing.
  • Nubank, with a market value of about $65.5bn, previously planned to shut its U.S. operations to prioritize Europe; Velez stated the company is "playing the long game" regarding expansion.
