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.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
