  "account": "Monzo Bank is exploring potential sales to private equity investors following the collapse of merger talks with Brazilian fintech company Nubank, according to the Financial Times. The UK digital bank has been in early-stage discussions with European buyout group CVC and US private equity firm Advent International about selling up to 15% of the company, as cited by people familiar with the matter. The talks stem from the failure to reach an agreement on Monzo's valuation of up to £10 billion with Nubank, which ultimately decided not to pursue the deal. With Nubank's market value standing at approximately $65 billion, Monzo's advisers are now looking to engage with additional fund managers to explore a potential sale to a private equity fund.",
