“I would like to thank our partner Philip Fayer for being the driving force behind this acquisition, while continuing to successfully excute on Nuvei’s strong growth potential, as well as CDPQ, our partner in Nuvei, for their constant support. I am very happy to say that Safeharge is the largest acquisition in Novacap’s 38 year history making Nuvei another Novacap platform that is a leader in its industry with headquarters in Montreal” added Pascal Tremblay, Novacap’s President and Managing Partner (TMT).
“Without Novacap and CDPQ, Nuvei would not have been able to complete this acquisition,. I am very proud to have them as my partners” stated Philip Fayer, Nuvei’s Chairman and CEO.
