SAO PAULO, March 2 (Reuters) - Brazilian financial
technology firm PagSeguro Digital PAGS.N on Thursday posted a
35% jump in its fourth-quarter net profit, beating expectations
on the back of growing market share and more secured loans.

bank and as a payment processor, posted net profits of 408
million reais ($78.4 million) for the quarter, surpassing the
400.13 million reais estimated by analysts polled by Refinitiv.
