Nubank Abandons £10B Monzo Deal After Stock Drop

Nubank, Brazil's digital bank, has called off its proposed acquisition of UK-based Monzo after shares fell as much as 10% following leaked talks. The £10 billion price tag was deemed too high by investors, with analysts questioning the financial rationale. Nubank will instead expand internationally through its stablecoin account, Nu Global. Monzo, which was pushing for a sale, now faces a tough market, with its preferred option being a minority stake sale to private equity firms like CVC and Advent. The company's valuation may drop below the £6 billion IPO figure discussed earlier. Additionally, Nubank faces regulatory challenges in Europe with Brazil's Resolution 561, which restricts stablecoin cross-border settlements.

• Nubank's shares fell up to 10% after Monzo acquisition talks leaked.
• Nubank announced it is 'not pursuing a transaction' with Monzo.
• The deal was valued at up to £10 billion.

Nubank in talks to acquire Monzo for up to £10B

Brazilian neobank Nubank is in early-stage talks to acquire UK-based digital bank Monzo, according to Sky News and City AM. The deal could value Monzo at £8-10 billion ($9-11.5 billion), more than double its October 2024 valuation of £4.5 billion. Monzo, with about 15 million customers and reported FY2026 revenue of £1.7 billion, holds £25.7 billion in mostly unlent deposits, which Nubank could potentially deploy as loans—a strategy it has never executed outside Latin America. The acquisition would provide Nubank with a UK banking license, accelerating its European expansion and challenging Revolut. However, regulatory hurdles and UK rules may pressure Nubank's high margins. The payment would likely be stock-heavy, and competitive offers could affect the price. A sale would end Monzo's IPO plans, previously anticipated at a £6 billion valuation. Nubank is valued at $65 billion with nearly 139 million customers.

• Nubank is in early talks to acquire Monzo for £8-10 billion, more than double Monzo's last valuation.
• Monzo holds £25.7 billion in mostly unlent deposits, and reported revenue of £1.7 billion with ~15 million customers.
• The acquisition would end Monzo's IPO plans and provide Nubank with a UK banking license.
