LUFAX, a Chinese peer-to-peer lender and broker, is close to completing a round of fundraising valuing the company at about US$18 billion, securing its position as the world's most valuable financial technology startup, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The company, which recently changed its name to Lu.com, is raising almost US$1 billion by selling a stake of about 5 per cent to a group of Chinese and overseas investors, according to one of the sources.
