Visa Inc. has completed its acquisition of Argentina-based Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.U. and Newpay S.A.U., strengthening its position in the country’s payments market.
Prisma provides credit, debit and prepaid card issuer processing, while Newpay operates real-time payments services, the Banelco ATM network and the PagoMisCuentas bill payment platform. Visa said integrating the two businesses with its global network will accelerate the rollout of technologies such as tokenization, biometric authentication and advanced risk tools, while maintaining brand-agnostic processing across Argentina’s payments ecosystem.
The transaction remains subject to review by Argentina’s competition authority.
