Payment technology firm Nuvei has expanded its partnership with payment giant Visa to extend fast digital payouts to the US.

The companies have already been working together to enhance digital payouts in Europe.

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.”
