The story of a payment: how Nuvei powers your performance.
Boost approvals, stop fraud, and grow revenue. In five steps and the blink of an eye, our team and platform make every payment work when it matters most.
Payment initiation

"Providing localized payment options is an important part of improving convenience for customers, and we are always looking for ways to optimize our payment processes to meet the needs of different markets."

💡 PRO TIP
“Geographically, Latin America and parts of North America tend to show higher fraud attempts. Europe and Asia more often deal with friendly fraud and chargebacks,” says Noam Grinberg. This reinforces the need for tailored risk strategies. For example, while 3DS is not mandatory in Brazil, Nuvei’s dynamic 3DS helps reduce fraud exposure without sacrificing authorization rates—adapting security based on real-time risk signals.
Authorization

"With our rapid growth at significant pace, we needed a partner that understood both our challenges today and could see our vision for tomorrow. Nuvei’s extensive connectivity and our passion to be the best for customers mean our objectives and values are aligned."

💡 PRO TIP
“The worst outcome is discovering mid-sale that a critical configuration is missing,” says Tim Cooper, Nuvei’s Product Manager for Payment Optimization. That’s why Nuvei recommends a pre-peak payments health check—verifying smart routing, cascading retries, and partial approvals are enabled and tuned. Just one recovered transaction can mean thousands in retained revenue during high-traffic events.
Processing
