Nomupay has secured $40m in funding alongside entering a strategic partnership with Japan-based SB Payment Service Corp (SBPS).

According to Tech EU, the latest funding round, which values Nomupay at $290m, includes an investment from SBPS. The capital injection marks a milestone in the company’s efforts to accelerate cross-border payment capabilities between Asia and the rest of the world.

Founded in 2021, Nomupay offers a seamless, all-in-one payments platform serving over 1,500 merchants globally. With a team of more than 230 employees, the company facilitates pay-ins, payouts and acquiring via a gateway-agnostic solution integrated through a single API and managed within a single back office environment.

The new funding will enable Nomupay to expand its infrastructure further across Japan and Asia, simplify inter-regional transactions, and add more local payment methods and country-specific services. This will enhance accessibility for European, SEA, Middle Eastern and global merchants seeking to do business in Asia.

SBPS aims to use the partnership to grow its international footprint while enhancing its payment offering through improved scalability and broader payment options. Nomupay’s unified solution aims to address the fragmented regulatory and payment preferences across Asian markets, reducing the operational burden for businesses entering the region.

Nomupay group CEO Peter Burridge said, “We are very excited to announce the SBPS investment in our business and the formalisation of a strategic partnership. Since our inception in 2021, we have been robustly active in the region. The SBPS investment now enables us to double down and support inter-regional commerce by adding additional countries and payment methods to the platform in order to support bi-directional access between Japan, Asia and the rest of the world.”

SB Payment Service Corp. representative director, president and CEO Jun Shimba said, “With Nomupay as a key partner, we will leverage Nomupay’s payment solutions to support our clients entering the Asian market.”

This strategic investment also reinforces Nomupay’s ambition to become the leading payment platform across Asia by simplifying access and reducing operational friction for companies navigating the region’s diverse regulatory landscape.
