Berkshire leads $750 mln Nubank funding round, values it at $30 bln


Nubank is Warren Buffett's (pic) second bet on a Brazilian financial startup. His Berkshire Hathaway also acquired a stake in payments company StoneCo Ltd almost three years ago, when it went public.

Billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc invested US$500 million in Brazil's Nubank, giving the fast-growing fintech a big vote of confidence as it seeks to widen its footprint across Latin America.

Nubank, best known as a credit card issuer, also said it raised an additional $250 million from a series of other investors.
