Case Study: International Merchants improve US payment acceptance and payouts with Nuvei

International Merchants improves approval ratios by more than 20% with Nuvei

International Merchants, a European proprietary trading firm, faced the challenge of expanding into the highly complex US payments market. Their cross-border payment routing was suppressing approval ratios by more than 20 percentage points, directly impacting revenue. They partnered with Nuvei to establish a local presence and improve their payment infrastructure's performance.

Nuvei implemented a solution by establishing a US legal entity and the correct sponsor-bank structure for International Merchants, making their payment traffic appear domestic to US issuers. This infrastructure change, facilitated by Nuvei's local acquiring and smart routing capabilities, improved the firm's approval ratios by more than 20 percent without any change to their core product.
