ViaPlus, a subsidiary of VINCI Highways, and Canadian fintech company Nuvei Corporation (TSX:NVEI) today announce a partnership to offer an improved payment experience to consumers when purchasing mobility services.
The partnership will integrate ViaPlus’ mobility back office, which processes and reconciles high volumes of transactions, with Nuvei’s global acquisition and processing reach and ability to manage a wide variety of digital applications through extensive Alternative Payment Method (APM) integrations.
The single, seamless integration of ViaPlus into Nuvei’s payment technology platform introduces over 700 new payment types into 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 such as Apple Pay, as well as popular local options in countries served by the VINCI Highways network: Brazil’s Pix, Peru’s Pago Effectivo and Colombia’s Nequi. ViaPlus will also include China’s Alipay, one of the most popular digital wallets in the world.
Other benefits include wider accessibility for customers who choose to pay cash through Nuvei’s retail payment network and the overall convenience of increased paperless payments.
Richard Arce, president and CEO of ViaPlus, states:
“This initiative reflects the commitment of ViaPlus and VINCI Highways to improve the driver experience with secure and efficient payment methods for the global mobility ecosystem.”
Philip Fayer, President and CEO of Nuvei, added:
“We are excited to be working 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 just that. Empowering consumers to pay wherever they are, whenever they want and whichever way they prefer is critical to the modern digital experience.”
