Nuvei, a global payments technology company, has agreed to acquire Payoneer, a cross-border payments and multi-currency platform, in an all-cash deal valuing the transaction at approximately $2.75bn.
Under the terms of the agreement, Nuvei will purchase all issued and outstanding shares of Payoneer Global Inc. at $7.40 per share in cash. Both companies’ boards of directors have approved the transaction, which is expected to close in mid-2027, pending shareholder approval from Payoneer, the necessary regulatory clearances, and other standard closing conditions.
The deal brings together Nuvei’s payment acceptance capabilities with Payoneer’s cross-border payouts infrastructure, multi-currency accounts, banking network, and same-day and real-time settlement spanning more than 150 markets. The combined entity will support businesses operating on some of the world’s most prominent digital commerce platforms, including Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Airbnb, Fiverr, Upwork, Etsy, ByteDance, Shopify, and WooCommerce. The transaction is also intended to strengthen capabilities in emerging financial models such as agentic commerce, stablecoin payments, and platform-native financial services.
A significant element of the deal is Payoneer’s established regulatory presence across major global jurisdictions. This includes licences for online payment services in mainland China and an in-principle authorisation as a cross-border payment aggregator in India under the Reserve Bank of India’s regulatory framework.
Nuvei is a payments technology company offering infrastructure that enables businesses to accept payments, send funds, issue cards, manage treasury and foreign exchange requirements, and access embedded financial services across markets worldwide. Payoneer is a Nasdaq-listed financial services platform that has operated for two decades, building a network of multi-currency accounts and cross-border payment capabilities across more than 150 markets and serving millions of businesses globally.
Together, the two companies aim to create a unified financial infrastructure that supports customers across the full transaction lifecycle, from payment acceptance through to settlement, across both local and international markets.
Nuvei chairman and CEO Phil Fayer said, “The acquisition of Payoneer marks a defining step in Nuvei’s evolution into a global financial infrastructure leader. By combining complementary capabilities, we can offer businesses a more complete platform to accept payments, send funds, issue cards, manage treasury and FX needs, and access embedded financial services – at scale.”
Payoneer CEO John Caplan said, “For two decades, Payoneer has earned the trust of millions of businesses in markets where trust takes years to build. We have transformed our business with extraordinary results, and our combination with Nuvei will extend what we can offer customers. Together, we will reach more businesses, in more markets, with a more complete platform.”
