Nexi partners with Amazon Italy to support Bancomat Pay payments
MILAN, July 2 (Reuters) -Italian payments group Nexi NEXII.MI said it had signed a partnership with Amazon's AMZN.O local arm allowing clients of the e-commerce giant to shop on its Italian website paying with a local debit card service dubbed BANCOMAT Pay.
Italy's ATM machine operator BANCOMAT, owned by more than 100 Italian banks, has been working to expand its online payment service BANCOMAT Pay following an investment by Italian private euquity fund FSI which is now the biggest single shareholder.
At present, Italians mostly use the 34 million BANCOMAT cards in circulation for ATM withdrawals.
BANCOMAT is Italy's main debit card payments provider, managing around 2 billion payment and withdrawal transactions every year, worth more than 160 billion euros.
Nexi Merchant Solutions Director Italy Filippo Signoretti said in a statement the company was a good fit for global players such as Amazon, when they needed partners with a strong presence in domestic markets but also international scale.
The payments sector has grown rapidly in recent years, mostly through a wave of mergers and acquisitions, companies sought the financial muscle to keep up with technological advances while contending with the threat from new entrants.
Betting on the prospect of further consolidation, Italian fund FSI has been investing in the sector by purchasing a 43% stake in BANCOMAT as well as building a retailers' payment business in partnership with banks ICCREA and Banco BPM BAMI.MI.
Italy's top bank Intesa Sanpaolo ISP.MI, which owns 18% of BANCOMAT followed by UniCredit CRDI.MI with 11%, acted as a technology partner in the Nexi-Amazon deal.
Earlier in April, BANCOMAT and Nexi struck a multi-year contract to develop a centralised technology infrastructure to allow BANCOMAT to manage on its own new payments it planned to offer.
