ViaPlus, a subsidiary of VINCI Highways, and Canadian fintech company Nuvei Corporation (TSX:NVEI) today announce a partnership to deliver an enhanced payment experience for consumers when purchasing mobility services.
The partnership will integrate ViaPlus’ mobility back office, which processes and financially reconciles large volumes of transactions, with Nuvei’s global acquiring and processing reach and capacity to manage a wide variety of digital applications through extensive Alternative Payment Methods (APM) integrations.
ViaPlus’ single, seamless integration to Nuvei’s payment technology platform introduces over 700 new payment types to the ViaPlus system to form a new digital payment network called ViaPlus Nexus™. ViaPlus consumers will be able to pay for mobility services with new methods including standard digital options like Apple Pay, as well as popular local choices in countries served by the VINCI Highways network: Brazil’s Pix, Peru’s Pago Efectivo, and Colombia’s Nequi. ViaPlus will also include China’s Alipay, one of the world’s most popular digital wallets.
Further benefits include broader accessibility for customers who choose to pay cash via Nuvei’s retail payment network, and the general convenience of increased paperless payments.
Richard Arce, president and CEO of ViaPlus, states:
“This initiative reflects the commitment of ViaPlus and VINCI Highways to enhancing the driver experience with secure and efficient payment methods for the global mobility ecosystem.”
Philip Fayer, Nuvei Chair and CEO, added:
“We’re thrilled to partner with ViaPlus. Our mission is to enable businesses to connect with their customers more deeply, and this partnership is another great example of the power of payments technology to do this. Enabling consumers to pay wherever they are, whenever they want to, and whichever payment methods they prefer is critical to the modern digital experience.”
