The move gives Meta a minority stake of about 20 per cent in the Bengaluru-based fintech firm and values CRED at roughly £3.3 billion ($4.5 billion) after the investment. At the same time, Shah will step down as CRED's chief executive and join Meta's leadership team, taking charge of WhatsApp as the messaging platform looks to expand beyond its traditional role.
