The Canadian fintech company integrated Google Pay for merchants across Latin America. This move aims to boost existing partnerships and reportedly builds on Google Pay's availability in other regions, including the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Now, merchants in LATAM can offer consumers payment options directly through Nuvei's checkout solution, the company mentioned in the official statement. The fintech firm has welcomed the move, saying that consumers mostly prefer digital payment methods, with Google Pay now an important player in the online payments space.
Expanding Presence in Latin America
By entering the LATAM market, Nuvei aims to give merchants the tools to reach new customer segments and expand their businesses across the region. Google Pay will reportedly be available through Nuvei's cashier solution. It allows merchants to accept payments from customers who are familiar with the platform. This process aims to enhance convenience for both businesses and consumers.

Commenting about the integration, Philip Fayer, Nuvei's Chair and CEO, said: “Our strengthened partnership with Google and the launch of the integration of Google Pay in Latin America underscore Nuvei's commitment to providing businesses with the most comprehensive in-demand suite of payment options globally.”
“Expanding our collaboration into this vibrant market enables merchants to tap into new customer segments and drive growth across the region,” he added.
Improving Merchant Payment Solutions
Nuvei's expansion into Latin America is part of the company's broader effort to scale payment solutions globally. The company reportedly supports more than 720 alternative payment methods.
In July, Nuvei announced a partnership with Mastercard involving a new solution in Europe that enables users to convert their digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, into traditional fiat currency. The solution also supports debit, credit, and prepaid cards.
In related news, Nuvei posted a strong financial performance in the third quarter of 2024, with total payment volume rising 27% to $61.3 billion. Revenue was $357.6 million, representing a 17% boost from the prior year.
