Canadian payments firm Nuvei Corporation has secured a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

This allows Nuvei’s Singapore subsidiary, Nuvei Singapore Pte Ltd, to extend its financial services within the region, offering domestic and cross-border money transfers as well as merchant acquisition services.

Nuvei’s payments platform enables businesses to streamline operating expenses for businesses, enhance payment conversion rates, reduce risks, and improve overall customer payment experiences.

Nuvei’s modular payments platform enables clients to securely connect with customers in over 200 markets worldwide through a single integration, accepting 680 alternative payment methods and offering acquiring in over 50 markets.

The company that it will continue to invest in building its presence across APAC.
