Nuvei

What the company does

Nuvei provides acquiring and alternative payment methods to merchants across many industries and built a specialist position in regulated gambling, where processing requires both licensing awareness and a tolerance for the risk profile. It handles a long list of local payment methods, which is the practical requirement in this sector: a deposit page that works in Sweden is useless in Peru.

The company grew through acquisition and was taken private in 2024 by a private equity buyer, following a pattern seen across payments businesses serving the sector.

For an operator, the choice of processor is not only commercial. A licensed market may require that payments be processed through regulated channels, that deposits come from an account in the player's name, or that specific instruments such as credit cards be refused, and the processor has to support those rules market by market.

Where this sits in the supply chain

Processors, wallets and account-to-account providers that move deposits in and withdrawals out. Gambling is treated as high risk by the card networks, which is why the sector has its own specialist payment businesses.
