(Reuters) - Mobile payment startup Square Inc, co-founded by Twitter Inc Chairman Jack Dorsey, is in talks to raise $200 million (120.57 million pounds), at a valuation of $6 billion, Bloomberg reported, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.
Some of the funding is expected to come from the Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC), which will push Square's valuation up from about $5 billion earlier this year, the report said. (http://bloom.bg/1vSCPX6)
