PayU — a global Fintech firm owned by Naspers, has expanded to Singapore. They achieved this move by acquiring a majority stake in Singapore-based Red Dot Payment.

The deal which went through at $65 million, came with the conditions that other major shareholders will exit and Red Dot Payment founder Randy Tan retain a stake. This expansion totals the amount of funds that PayU put into Fintech in the last three years to about $700 million.

The deal is in accordance to PayU’s aim to be the top payments solution provider in top markets globally and to also be the largest Fintech investors all over the world.
