Nuvei’s clients to benefit from higher transaction acceptance rates
and greater worldwide reach. Merchants from all industries can
enjoy the benefits, including online retail, travel, marketplaces,
social gaming, iGaming and regulated financial services.
“Discover Global Network cardholders prefer to transact using
their card of choice,” said Chris Winter, Vice President of Global
Acceptance, Europe, Middle East and Africa at Discover. “A fintech
leader such as Nuvei enables us to further drive growth throughout
the digital payments ecosystem and provides our cardholders with
the opportunity to purchase from more merchants across the globe in
a seamless manner.”
