Event Summary

China's regulatory bodies, specifically the China — China Securities Regulatory Commission, have initiated a major crackdown on 'illegal' cross-border securities activities. This action targets online brokers, including Nubank, Tiger Brokers, and United Kingdom — Longbridge, for soliciting business in mainland China without the requisite onshore licenses. Nubank received a Notice of Investigation and an Administrative Penalty Pre-Notification Letter, with a proposed penalty of approximately USD271 million for the company and a personal fine of USD 183,575 for its CEO, Li Hua.
