Canada payments infrastructure company Nuvei has announced to buy United States cross-border payments company Payoneer for $2.75 billion in all-cash deal. Payoneer was founded in 2005 by Yuval Tal & Yaniv Chechik. Payoneer current market value at $2.4 billion, share price +29.1% YTD, +6.6% last 12 months & -29.1% last 5 years. Nuvei was founded in 2003 by Philip Fayer as Pivotal Payments. Nuvei was privatized in 2024 in $6.3 billion buyout by United States private equity firm Advent International ($102 billion AUM), with founder Philip Fayer, Novacap & CDPQ retaining partial stake in Navei. Announcement (15/6/26): “Nuvei and Payoneer today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Nuvei will acquire Payoneer. Under the terms of the agreement, Nuvei will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Payoneer Global Inc. for $7.40 per share in cash, representing a total transaction equity value of approximately $2.75 billion. As commerce becomes more complex across local and cross-border markets, businesses need infrastructure that can support the full transaction lifecycle. This transaction directly addresses that need by combining Nuvei’s leading payment acceptance capabilities with Payoneer’s cross-border payouts, multi-currency accounts and banking network, along with same-day and real-time settlement in more than 150 markets. Together, the companies create an always-on, unified financial infrastructure built on trusted rails, supporting customers that do business across the world’s leading digital commerce platforms, including Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Airbnb, Fiverr, Upwork, Etsy, ByteDance, Shopify, and WooCommerce. A key component of this infrastructure is Payoneer’s established regulatory footprint across major jurisdictions around the world. Payoneer holds multiple licenses and authorizations, including licensing for online payment services in mainland China and authorization in principle as a cross-border payment aggregator in India under the Reserve Bank of India’s regulatory framework. The transaction also strengthens Nuvei’s ability to support emerging financial models, including agentic commerce, stablecoin payments, and platform-native financial services. These capabilities are expected to help businesses move funds more seamlessly across payment types, settlement networks, and jurisdictions.”
