Businesses in LATAM can now use stablecoins to make faster cross-border B2B payments and settlements through Nuvei’s partnership with Rain, BitGo, and Visa
Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”), the Canadian fintech company, today announces the launch of an innovative blockchain-based payment solution for merchants across Latin America (LATAM). Through Nuvei’s partnerships with Rain, a vertically integrated issuing partner for global platforms, BitGo, the leading digital asset custodian and wallet solutions provider, and Visa, Nuvei is enabling businesses to utilize stablecoins – including USD Coin (USDC) – for faster global settlement and reduced reliance on traditional payments rails.
By collaborating with Rain, BitGo, and Visa, Nuvei delivers a seamless and secure blockchain payment experience that empowers LATAM merchants to use their physical or virtual card supported by Visa to make payments using stablecoins from a digital asset wallet anywhere Visa is accepted. The solution benefits from Visa’s wide acceptance and simplifies corporate treasury management, offering faster cross-border transactions, secure digital asset custody, reduced currency complexity, and improved operational liquidity.
“Nuvei empowers businesses to connect more deeply with their customers through innovative payments solutions,” commented Nuvei Chair and CEO Philip Fayer. “By integrating stablecoin technology into our payment platform for B2B settlement we’re ensuring our merchants continually receive unparalleled flexibility, security, and global reach.”
