Our take
NMI develops a trusted and feature rich payment gateway for mobile, online and in-store merchants. Today, the company processes approximately $200 billion in payments volume annually for over 250,000 merchants globally.
Payment fintechs, like Stripe and Square, are in constant competition with banks when it comes to merchant acquiring and processing. NMI’s niche in the market is in its providing of banks with the tools to compete, offering rapidly developed modern digital merchant services, which banks don’t have the technological means to develop themselves.
With recent investment from Insight Partners, joining Francisco Partners and Great Hill Partners, NMI hopes to double the size of the business in the coming years. It recently acquired payments software firm IRIS and is committed to invest in accelerating its acquisitions strategy, focusing on companies that offer settlement services and add-on services like fraud management, thereby expanding its offerings.
