Transport revenue management group ViaPlus has linked up with a Canadian fintech firm to expand the methods by which users can pay for services such as tolling.

ViaPlus, a subsidiary of Vinci Highways, is partnering with Nuvei Corporation in a move designed to give greater flexibility for both end users and transportation agencies.

The partnership will bring together ViaPlus’ mobility back office, which processes and reconciles large volumes of transactions, with Nuvei’s global acquiring and processing reach and capacity for extensive alternative payment methods (APM) integrations.

This integration into Nuvei’s payment technology platform will introduce over 700 new payment types for consumers using ViaPlus systems, in a new digital payment network called ViaPlus Nexus. 

This means that, as well as standard digital options like Apple Pay, customers will be able to access popular local choices such as Brazil’s Pix, Peru’s Pago Efectivo, Colombia’s Nequi and China’s Alipay.

Richard Arce, president and CEO of ViaPlus, says: “This initiative reflects the commitment of ViaPlus and Vinci Highways to enhancing the driver experience with secure and efficient payment methods for the global mobility ecosystem.”

ViaPlus says there will also be "broader accessibility" for customers who choose to pay cash via Nuvei’s retail payment network.

Philip Fayer, Nuvei chair and CEO, adds: "Enabling consumers to pay wherever they are, whenever they want to, and whichever payment methods they prefer is critical to the modern digital experience.”
