Nuvei, a global payment technology provider based in Canada, announced on Wednesday it has acquired Base Commerce, LLC, a provider of integrated payment solutions. According to Nuvei, Base was founded in 2008 and serves clients in a wide range of industries such as property management, consumer financial and collections, tolling, parking and transportation, and charitable giving. Base processes approximately $8 billion in ACH volume and more than $2 billion of credit card acquiring volume on an annual basis.
Philip Fayer, Nuvei’s Chairman and CEO, shared more details about the acquisition by stating:
“We are thrilled to announce our agreement to acquire Base Commerce, a leading payment solutions provider with a merchant-first philosophy that matches our own. This acquisition will significantly expand our product capabilities with a proprietary ACH processing platform as well as further build and diversify our acquiring portfolio, adding high margin verticals.”
