Shareholders’ Support
Bo Huang, the Managing Director at Advent, added:
“Our deep expertise and experience in payments give us conviction in the
opportunity to support Nuvei as it continues to scale from its base in Canada

Nuvei to capitalize on emerging opportunities to help shape the future of the

In February, Nuvei introduced direct payment access in Colombia. This expansion aims to streamline processes for local
businesses by enabling them to expand internationally. By providing direct
payments, Nuvei enables Colombian businesses to onboard customers without
intermediaries.
Additionally, the company’s direct payment access allows businesses to
take control of their transactions by directly accepting card payments and managing the flow of their transactions. By bypassing intermediaries,
businesses can optimize their payment processes and enhance operational
efficiency, the company mentioned.
