In South Africa - Nexi Payments S.p.A Incorporated in Italy started off as Perago Financial Systems Enablers Pty. The company was formed in South Africa on 1 April 1999 by a team of central bank professionals striving towards specialisation in major financial system infrastructure development.

The team had transformed the National Payment System in South Africa, including the development and implementation of a sophisticated RTGS solution and inter-bank network. In a nutshell we are developing, maintaining and supporting software to central banking infrastructure for foreign economies.

The company was later purchased by the SIA group, based in Milan, Italy. As of 01 January 2022, the Nexi group grew by roughly 1/3 when adding SIA to the family.
