Payment infrastructure provider Akurateco has announced a strategic partnership with Latin American payments company Kushki aimed at expanding payment service provider (PSP) connectivity and strengthening digital payment capabilities across the region.
The collaboration will integrate Kushki’s payment infrastructure into the Akurateco Payment Hub platform, enabling merchants, payment service providers, and fintech companies to access a wider range of payment processing capabilities throughout Latin America. The partnership is expected to help businesses simplify payment integrations and improve transaction performance in markets where payment methods and regulations can vary significantly.
Latin America has become one of the fastest-growing digital payments regions globally. According to industry research, the region’s digital payments market is projected to exceed $500 billion in transaction value by 2027, driven by rapid growth in e-commerce, mobile payments, and financial inclusion initiatives. However, businesses operating across multiple countries often face challenges integrating with local payment providers and managing diverse payment methods.
Through the partnership, Kushki’s payment services will become available through the Akurateco Payment Hub’s orchestration platform. This will allow companies using the platform to access Kushki’s acquiring and payment processing capabilities through a single integration, reducing the need to connect with multiple payment providers separately.
Payment orchestration platforms such as Akurateco’s Payment Hub enable merchants and PSPs to connect to multiple acquirers and payment methods through one system. These platforms can also help optimize transaction routing, improve authorization rates, and provide centralized reporting and analytics across different payment channels.
Kushki operates across several major Latin American markets, including Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador. The company provides payment processing, acquiring services, and alternative payment methods designed to support regional e-commerce and digital businesses.
By connecting Kushki’s infrastructure with Akurateco’s orchestration platform, the companies aim to give merchants and payment providers more flexible access to local payment capabilities in these markets. The integration may also help businesses expand more easily across borders within Latin America by simplifying the technical and operational aspects of payment connectivity.
The announcement reflects a broader trend in the payments industry, where payment orchestration technology is increasingly used to manage complex payment ecosystems. As merchants expand into new regions and adopt multiple payment methods, orchestration platforms are becoming an important layer of infrastructure that allows companies to manage different providers and optimize payment performance through a single interface.
Latin America’s growing digital economy is also encouraging greater investment in payment infrastructure. E-commerce adoption continues to rise across the region, supported by expanding internet access, smartphone usage, and fintech innovation.
For Akurateco, the partnership represents another step in expanding its global payment ecosystem and strengthening connections with regional payment providers. For Kushki, the integration offers additional distribution for its payment services by enabling access to merchants and PSPs already connected to the Akurateco platform.
As cross-border commerce and digital payments continue to expand, partnerships between payment orchestration platforms and regional payment providers are expected to play an increasingly important role in enabling businesses to operate efficiently across diverse payment landscapes.
