Whether it’s a florist in Mexico City serving international tourists, a bakery in Lisbon delighting global food lovers, or an online consultant in Porto Alegre working with clients worldwide - cross-border payments are a vital part of doing business today.
Yet for many merchants, managing foreign exchange (FX) in real time remains complex. Fluctuating rates, hidden fees, and the intricacies of currency conversion often create friction—impacting pricing strategies and eroding profitability.
To remove those barriers, PagoNxt Payments has embedded advanced FX and treasury capabilities into Getnet’s acquiring services. Traditionally, cross-border payments were processed in local currencies, limiting revenue potential and making pricing less flexible. With PagoNxt Payments FX Engine, merchants using Getnet can now:
- Offer seamless multi-currency acceptance, covering 140+ currencies.
- Optimize revenue by securing highly competitive FX rates.
- Ensure pricing transparency with real-time exchange rate visibility at checkout.
- Mitigate currency volatility risks, ensuring predictable payouts.
- Integrate easily with a streamlined API connection to Getnet’s acquiring platform.
“Integrating PagoNxt Payments’ FX Engine has significantly enhanced Getnet’s capabilities. It has allowed us to offer our merchants a more predictable and transparent FX experience, reducing operational complexity while unlocking new revenue streams. By leveraging this technology, we are strengthening our value proposition and making cross-border payments easier than ever for merchants of all sizes.”
— Carlos Nomura, Global Head of Products, Getnet.

— Joaquín Olmedo, Head of Value-Added Services at Getnet.
By eliminating hidden fees and ensuring competitive FX rates, merchants using Getnet’s acquiring services have improved their profitability and strengthened customer relationships, making cross-border transactions frictionless.
