Nexi has announced new partnerships with Visa and Mastercard aimed at streamlining fund transfers for businesses in Italy. Under these agreements, Visa Direct and Mastercard Move, platforms designed for secure money transfers, will be integrated into Nexi’s business services.

The collaborations will enable Italian companies to move funds directly to customers’ payment cards using global solutions, marking a significant step forward from traditional bank transfers or cheques.

Faster transactions and operational benefits

These new platforms are intended to help businesses manage liquidity more effectively and speed up the settlement process for their customers. Early pilot programs have reportedly demonstrated reductions in processing times and operational costs for participating merchants.

Nexi officials expect full integration of both solutions into its business services by 2026, highlighting potential improvements in payment workflows for corporate clients.

According to Nexi representatives, the initiative aims to modernize payment infrastructure and simplify financial operations. Direct-to-card transfers are being positioned as a means to offer customers a more immediate and secure experience while supporting broader trends of digitalization in business payments.

The introduction of these platforms could help align Italy’s business payments ecosystem with international standards. By providing companies with advanced tools for managing payments, the collaborations may also influence wider trends in digital payment adoption across Europe.
