Nuvei chair and CEO Philip Payer said: “Our mission is to help our customers connect with their customers regardless of location, payment method or currency.
“Launching in Australia is a natural step for our continued expansion in APAC, having already established a strong and growing presence in the region.”
Fayer added: “We know the role local acquiring plays in payments optimization, which is why Nuvei’s local acquiring network across the globe is unparalleled. Being able to support merchants in Hong Kong, Singapore, and now Australia with local acquiring solutions demonstrates our commitment to our customers’ growth.”
Although debit and credit card payments are the dominant modes of online payment in Australia, alternative payment methods (APMs) are becoming gradually popular in the country, according to Nuvei.
Last year, the size of country’s eCommerce sector was $47bn in terms of value.
