RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - Brazil's antitrust watchdog CADE opened an investigation into Banco Bradesco SA for anti-competitive practices against financial startup Guiabolso, according to a CADE statement on Tuesday.
The watchdog said Bradesco may be impeding its clients from connecting Guiabolso's app to their checking accounts.
In a statement, Bradesco denied any wrongdoing and said the issue with Guiabolso involved client data security and bank secrecy rules. Guiabolso declined to comment. . .
