Nuvei today announced that its eCommerce merchants have started processing transactions via Wero, the innovative digital wallet of the European Payments Initiative (EPI). Wero is designed to deliver instant, secure account-to-account payments across Europe.

Earlier this year, Nuvei was among the very first payment processors to complete a Wero transaction in a testing environment, and is now one of the first processors to begin processing merchant transactions. Wero enables instant account-to-account (A2A) payments through SEPA Instant Credit Transfer protocols, allowing consumers to pay securely and directly from their bank accounts in seconds.

For merchants, adding Wero expands consumer choice at checkout, reduces payment processing costs, and accelerates settlement, enhancing both conversion and cash flow.

Phil Fayer, Nuvei Chair and CEO, said:

“Going live with Wero is another example of how Nuvei enables merchants to offer the most advanced and locally relevant payment methods through a single integration. Today’s consumers expect flexibility, speed, and security at checkout, and Wero delivers on all three. We’re proud to help European merchants like CamperDays capture more sales and build trust with their customers.”

Martina Weimert, CEO of EPI, added:

“Seeing Wero live in ecommerce checkouts through Nuvei is an exciting milestone for European payments. Wero simplifies the payment experience for consumers while providing merchants with a cost-efficient alternative to traditional cards. Nuvei will bring an important contribution in driving the adoption of a truly European payment solution that strengthens the continent’s financial sovereignty. We are looking forward this cooperation.”

This launch expands Nuvei’s continued expansion of its alternative payment method (APM) portfolio, empowering merchants to offer localized, consumer-preferred experiences through a single integration.
