WEX® and Nuvei Partner to Power Faster, Smarter Global B2B Travel Payments

Building a smarter, safer way to pay in travel

In today’s travel ecosystem, efficiency, speed  and visibility are critical. For travel agencies managing multiple supplier relationships across markets, balancing fast settlement with maintaining liquidity is a constant challenge. That’s why WEX,and Nuvei are joining forces to help simplify and accelerate how money moves across the travel value chain.

The partnership combines WEX’s sophisticated virtual card issuing capabilities with Nuvei’s global acquiring network, helping to provide a faster, safer, and more transparent way for travel agencies to pay suppliers and manage cash flow.

Together, WEX and Nuvei are setting a new standard for efficiency, security, and trust in travel payments across the United States.

Making Payments Work Harder

For these agencies maintaining control over cash flow is essential. Through this integration, travel agencies using Nuvei’s acquiring solutions can now pay suppliers through WEX’s secure virtual card infrastructure using their incoming receivables to fund supplier payments directly. This helps improve liquidity, accelerate fund flow, and strengthen financial control.

Unlike traditional credit-driven models, this structure simplifies the movement of funds across the ecosystem, helping to improve accuracy, reconciliation, and efficiency at every stage of the payment process. “Virtual cards have become a great tool for travel agencies managing complex supplier networks,” said Jason Hancock, Managing Director of Global Travel at WEX. “By combining WEX’s global virtual card infrastructure and travel payment expertise with Nuvei’s global acquiring network, we’re enabling agencies and suppliers to move funds faster and with greater confidence, helping to strengthen efficiency and trust across the travel payments ecosystem.”

A Partnership That Delivers Real Impact

This collaboration aims to give travel agencies the flexibility to:

• Pay suppliers faster through WEX’s secure digital infrastructure
• Improve liquidity by funding payments from receivables
• Create efficiency through digitised, reconcilable payments that simplify settlement and reporting
• Reduce fraud exposure with secure, single-use virtual cards that replace traditional payment methods prone to error or misuse

For suppliers and travel merchants, the integration can mean greater reliability and faster payments. For acquirers it delivers enhanced visibility into payment flow, helping to strengthen operational oversight.

Together WEX and Nuvei want to help every participant in the ecosystem make smarter, faster, and safer financial decisions, driving trust, efficiency, and growth across global travel.

“Our partnership with WEX further strengthens Nuvei’s position as the payments infrastructure partner of choice for the travel industry,” said Phil Fayer, Chair and CEO, Nuvei. “Together we’re helping travel businesses improve cash flow, reduce costs, and simplify how they pay suppliers around the world.” 

Shaping the Future of B2B Travel Payments

With one of the leading virtual card issuing networks in the world, WEX powers payments for many of the largest players in global travel. Its technology connects acquirers, agencies, and suppliers, providing secure, scalable infrastructure that underpins the movement of billions of dollars across the ecosystem every year.

By uniting WEX’s issuing scale with Nuvei’s global acquiring reach, the partnership can create a powerful new layer of connectivity in B2B travel commerce. One that helps accelerate cash flow, enhance visibility, and support growth for every participant in the chain.
