We are excited to announce our partnership with @VISADIRECT to enhance real-time global payouts!

As businesses face growing demands for faster, more reliable cross-border payments, Nuvion will integrate Visa Direct’s global payout network, enabling quicker transfers to bank accounts and digital wallets globally.

What this means for businesses: Faster global payouts through Visa Direct’s global network – integrated directly into Nuvion’s infrastructure.

Businesses can manage payouts alongside multi-currency accounts, cards, FX services, and stablecoin settlement rails all from Nuvion’s dashboard – with near-instant payments across supported markets.

Together, Nuvion and Visa Direct are reducing the complexity of cross-border payments and helping businesses move money globally with greater speed, flexibility, and control.
