Ryan Reynolds has invested in a diverse range of businesses over the last few years, from alcohol company Aviation Gin to budget mobile cell phone service Mint Mobile. Now, Reynolds is investing again, this time in Nuvei, a fintech payments company based in Montreal.
“I know about as much about fintech as I did about gin or mobile a few years ago. But Nuvei is impressive,” Reynolds said in a statement about his stake on Monday. “The leadership team is exceedingly intelligent and hard-working and it’s about time a Canadian company got the type of attention American tech companies do.”
