In Colombia, the firms are facilitating real-time payments for urban delivery businesses in collaboration with a local bank. The initiative, which is the first to be launched under the partnership, will enable courier fleets to electronically procure goods from merchants on behalf of customers through dynamically created Visa accounts.

NovoPayment CEO Anabel Perez said: “Ultimately, by integrating our APIs and collaborating more closely, we are able to help others deliver better customer experiences and create new value chains free of traditional bottlenecks, while capturing new money and data flows.

“Our most recent project in Colombia is a great example of the kind of interoperability and structure required in today’s platform-driven businesses and a hint of what is possible in the future.”

The firms are also working on another project, which aims to simplify payment in the urban mobility and shared transportation sector by enabling drivers to utilise Visa accounts to receive payment for services.
