Consumer electronics retailer MediaMarktSaturn taps Nuvei online payments technology

Nuvei is working with MediaMarktSaturn to support online marketplace payments across its European markets.

The partnership enables localised payment experiences for customers and sellers across Europe.

“For large online marketplaces, payments are not just a transaction layer, they are a growth enabler,” says Phil Fayer, Chair and CEO at Nuvei. “MediaMarktSaturn operates at significant scale across a highly fragmented European payments landscape. Our ability to support local payment preferences across markets, combined with our international reach, service model, and strong focus on complex B2B commerce, made Nuvei a natural partner for their online marketplace strategy.”

Nuvei offers various local payment methods (LPMs), including global wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and European methods such as Klarna, Wero, BLIK, and Bizum.

“Supporting our online marketplaces across Europe requires payments infrastructure that is both locally relevant and operationally consistent,” says Christian Kollesch, Vice President and CEO at MediaMarktSaturn Marketplace.

“Nuvei’s coverage, service capabilities, and experience supporting complex, cross-border marketplace environments give us the flexibility and reliability we need as we continue to scale our digital business.”

2026 RTIH Innovation Awards

Payments will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards will open for entries in April. They celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Thursday, 15th October.

Check out our 2025 winners here.

Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”

“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”

He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”

Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
