Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”) (TSX: NVEI and
NVEI.U), the global payment technology partner of thriving brands,
and Judopay, a leading mobile-centric technology provider, have
announced that they will enable mobile payments for customers in
KFC restaurants throughout Spain.
As the world economy continues to move online, KFC is shifting
its strategy to focus more on optimizing its customers’ digital
experience. The partnership with Nuvei and Judopay will allow KFC
España to provide seamless mobile payments for its customers
throughout its almost 150 branches in Spain.
“At KFC, we believe that the customer should be at the heart of
all our decisions, and payments are a crucial part of the customer
experience,” said Pablo Calavia, Chief Commercial Officer of Yum!
Brands, representing KFC España. “That's why we have partnered with
Judopay and Nuvei. The innovative technology of these two leading
payment providers will help us improve our omnichannel customer
experience, supporting our strategy of being the leading
quick-service restaurant in digital experience across Western
Europe.”
“This partnership is about modernizing the digital payment
experience of one of the world's most recognizable brands as we
move further into the online-focused economy of 2021,” said Jeremy
Nicholds, Judopay’s CEO. “By using Judopay’s mobile payment
solutions, customers of KFC España will benefit from seamless and
touch-free payments. Nuvei's acquiring services will allow us to
optimize processing speed and transaction approvals at scale,
further improving the KFC user experience.”
Nuvei will provide acquiring services for KFC España with its
extensive network of acquirers throughout Europe and ability to
easily onboard franchisees. To adapt to the franchise model of KFC
España, Nuvei created bespoke documentation, pricing and
sub-account management.
With this partnership, KFC España will benefit from optimized
transaction approval rates and local processing costs, while its
customers will enjoy effortless payment experiences across all
payment channels.
“We are delighted that our close relationship with Judopay has
facilitated KFC España’s expansion into the digital realm,” said
Philip Fayer, Nuvei’s Chair and CEO. “We are proud to provide this
