Sao Paulo based payments company raised $150m in a private funding round led by Viking Global Investors
Chief Executive Antonio Soares billed the fundraising as probably the company’s last before it undertakes an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States. Should Conductor list on a U.S. exchange, it would follow in the footsteps of other Brazilian payments companies including StoneCo Ltd STNE.O and PagSeguro Digital Ltd PAGS.N. Both have performed well since listing in 2018, gaining 131% and 74%, respectively.
