Our take

As payment processing becomes more complex, with a range of providers and products on the market, it can be difficult for companies to determine where they should focus and invest. Nuvei helps businesses to keep ahead of trends in payments, and thus serve their customers better, by providing payment technology and consulting services.

As a payment technology partner, Nuvei has combined its offerings - which include a payments platform and banking-as-a-service - with access to rich expertise in the changing payments space. In doing so, it enables its clients to "capture every payment opportunity that comes their way", so they can extract more revenue and optimize operating costs.

Nuvei's future trajectory takes a bold turn with its 2024 transition to a private entity under the stewardship of Advent International. With an all-cash transaction valuing Nuevei at $6.3B, the move underscores confidence in its industry standing and growth potential.
