Nuvei, a Canadian payments processor, has agreed to acquire Payoneer Global, a New York-based cross-border payments company, for approximately $2.75 billion in an all-cash deal. This strategic acquisition aims to create a leading global financial infrastructure platform, combining Nuvei's payment acceptance capabilities with Payoneer's cross-border payout infrastructure, multi-currency accounts, and extensive banking network. The combined entity will offer a more complete platform for businesses to manage payments, send funds, issue cards, handle treasury and FX needs, and access embedded financial services at scale. The deal is also expected to bolster support for new payment strategies, including agentic commerce and stablecoin payments, leveraging Payoneer's existing regulatory licenses in key markets like China and India. The transaction, approved by both companies' boards, is anticipated to close by mid-2027, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals. The unified platform will serve over 2.4 million customers and support major digital commerce ecosystems such as Amazon, EBay, Walmart, and Shopify.
