Nium continues to expand its licensing portfolio to include more countries across 11 jurisdictions, worldwide.

“These new licences are a display of the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s confidence in Nium’s value to the Singapore ecosystem, and the seamless solutions we provide to our customers,” said Prajit Nanu, Nium’s co-founder and CEO. “As a Singapore-headquartered company, it is especially exciting to offer more solutions to our home-market. It’s our mission at Nium to continue expanding our global footprint and providing even more powerful payment capabilities for our customers, both locally and abroad.”
