Visa and BRI join in fintech startup Nium's latest funding round

The startup aims to focus on product development and acquisitions.

Singapore-based fintech platform Nium raised an undisclosed equity round, which included new investors Visa and Bank Rakyat Indonesia’s (BRI) corporate venture arm BRI Ventures on-board, an announcement revealed.

Nium will utilise the funds to further build out its payment infrastructure offering that includes outreach to consumers, SMEs, large enterprises as well as banks and financial institutions. The newly raised corpus will be largely directed towards product development and tuck-in acquisitions that compress time to market.

For the latter, Nium will focus on vertical expertise in markets like Europe, India, the UK and the US. It currently operates its ‘Send, Spend and Receive’ business in over 90 countries, 65 in real-time, and in 63 currencies.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
