DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationDeal Summary
Dec 2019Undisclosed stageLa Caisse; Novacap$270M$2BNuvei, a Montreal-based global payment technology provider, completed a US$270 million common equity financing on December 11, 2019, valuing the company at a US$2 billion post-money valuation. The investment came primarily from existing shareholders Novacap, supported by its key limited partners, and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ, also known as La Caisse). This round positioned Nuvei to accelerate organic growth and acquisitions following a strong year that included the transformational acquisition of SafeCharge International Group Limited for US$889 million in August 2019. The financing provided Nuvei with capital to expand its omnichannel payment solutions, including end-to-end payment acceptance, payouts, foreign exchange, local acquiring, risk management, and value-added services across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Headquartered in Montreal with global offices, Nuvei delivered these capabilities through a unified platform to empower businesses to grow locally and internationally. The deal highlighted continued support from Novacap and CDPQ, who had backed prior milestones like the SafeCharge deal. This 2019 round built on Nuvei's momentum, with recognition as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies by Deloitte and CEO Philip Fayer winning the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2019 in Fintech. Later developments included a 2024 go-private transaction at a US$6.3 billion enterprise value led by Advent International, alongside Fayer, Novacap, and CDPQ, where 2023 financials showed US$1.2 billion in revenue and over US$200 billion in processing volume.
