Nuvei in Advanced Talks to Buy Payoneer for About $2.7 Billion

The proposed purchase would add Payoneer's cross-border payout network and large marketplace clients to Nuvei's merchant payments business, expanding its footprint in emerging markets.

Overview

  • Reuters reported that Nuvei is in advanced talks to acquire Payoneer for roughly $2.7 billion, with sources saying the talks could lead to a deal in the coming days but remain unconfirmed.
  • The $2.7 billion figure includes Payoneer's cash and implies an enterprise value near $2.3 billion, according to the sources cited in coverage.
  • Nuvei is backed by Advent International, Novacap and CDPQ, and the acquisition would combine Nuvei's payment-acceptance services with Payoneer's networks for paying freelancers, sellers and suppliers.
  • Payoneer reported 2025 revenue of $1.05 billion and net income of $73.2 million, and its business is exposed to regional risk because customers in greater China made up about 34% of revenue last year.
  • Parties involved have not confirmed the talks and did not comment in reports, which means the outcome is uncertain and observers should watch for regulatory review, integration risks and any formal bid in the coming days.
