Canada-based Nuvei is expanding its payout capabilities in the US through the implementation of Visa’s real-time push payments platform, Visa Direct.

Visa Direct will help Nuvei’s clients to offer fast payout capabilities to their customers with near real-time routing and processing of transactions.

The firm expects the move to create a ‘secure and seamless’ payments experience for its merchant partners across any industry.

Nuvei chair and CEO Philip Fayer said: “As consumers are looking for faster, simpler and more connected experiences, it is crucial that we provide solutions that best address their needs. An important part of this is supporting payments in real time, delivering a truly frictionless payment journey.”

Visa Direct senior vice-president and global head Ruben Salazar added: “Our collaboration with Nuvei in Europe is already helping its customers realise the benefits of fast and secure digital payout capabilities via Visa Direct.

“We are excited to partner with Nuvei in the US so their clients can use Visa Direct to help them digitise paper-based, inefficient processes.”

This June, Nuvei announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary received scheme licences to process UK payments post-Brexit.
