Nium Integrates with Google Pay for Contactless Visa Card Payments

Nium announced its integration with Google Pay on July 29, 2020, allowing card users across its platform to make contactless payments using Android phones, tablets, and watches at Visa merchants worldwide. The integration enhances the value proposition of Nium's card-issuing BaaS infrastructure by enabling seamless mobile wallet compatibility for its fintech and enterprise clients. End users holding Nium-issued cards can now add them to Google Pay for tap-to-pay functionality at any accepting merchant globally.

This move strengthens Nium's position as a global payments infrastructure provider by linking its card programs to one of the largest mobile payment ecosystems. The partnership is particularly significant for Nium's cross-border payments and card-issuing business, which serves fintechs and enterprises looking to embed financial services. No financial terms of the integration were disclosed.
