Nuvei Corporation, the Canadian fintech company, announced that businesses operating in Australia can now access its full suite of market-leading payments solutions including acquiring, processing, alternative payment methods and risk management.

Australian businesses operating locally and globally will benefit from Nuvei’s cutting-edge, agile technology that’s built to accelerate their growth. Nuvei’s payments platform enables businesses to optimise operating costs and boost conversion rates by maximising payments acceptance, minimising risk, and enhancing the consumer payment experience. This includes offering all local and relevant payment methods.

Launching in Australia is the latest initiative from Nuvei as it continues to grow its presence and capabilities in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, following its successful launch in Singapore and Hong Kong in 2022.

“Our mission is to help our customers connect with their customers regardless of location, payment method or currency. Launching in Australia is a natural step for our continued expansion in APAC, having already established a strong and growing presence in the region,” Nuvei Chair and CEO Philip Fayer said.

Nuvei is launching in Australia having secured regulatory and scheme licenses to support customers with local acquiring in the country.

“We know the role local acquiring plays in payments optimization, which is why Nuvei’s local acquiring network across the globe is unparalleled. Being able to support merchants in Hong Kong, Singapore, and now Australia with local acquiring solutions demonstrates our commitment to our customers’ growth,” Fayer added.

While debit and credit card payments are the preeminent online payment method for Australian consumers, alternative payment methods (APMs) are also growing in popularity. Nuvei technology enables businesses to accept all the relevant payment methods in the region (including local currencies for cross-border transactions) in addition to card acquiring. This includes New Payments Platform (NPP), Australia’s account-to-account fast payments open access infrastructure, giving consumers even more choice over their payments experience.

Gmonitor.ai presents its new Online Gaming Market Report: Spain Q2 2025, which provides an in-depth analysis of the DGOJ data on the regulated market between April and June of this year.

The report places Spanish online gaming in a stage of consolidation: year-on-year growth of 18.6% (€410.3 million in GGR) confirms the strength of the sector, but also the transition towards a more mature market, a trend driven by technology, regulation and operator loyalty. The two leading verticals, online casinos and sports betting, account for more than 94% of revenue, with €216.4 million and €171.4 million respectively.

In addition to financial analysis, the study delves into player behaviour patterns, highlighting a 23.7% increase in deposits and a 28.9% increase in withdrawals, reflecting greater liquidity and spending per active user. However, the number of new accounts registered fell by 11.6% compared to the previous quarter, a sign that the market is beginning to mature and focus more on retention than acquisition.

“The Spanish market has entered a phase where data, regulation and player loyalty define profitability. Gmonitor converts this information into a competitive advantage and lower costs for all players in the sector”, highlights the Gmonitor team.

The document devotes specific sections to casinos, betting, poker and bingo, as well as the regulatory environment and medium- and long-term strategic prospects. The report is available for download and can be complemented with a personalised demonstration of the platform, where users can explore how they can generate their own reports and access more granular information tailored to each user and organisation.
