Nium Completes Acquisition of Payments Optimisation Leader, Ixaris

Leading fintech acceleration platform Nium, today announced the completion of its acquisition of London-based, Ixaris, a leader in payments optimisation for the travel, media, marketing, and insurance sectors. Nium has received all regional jurisdiction regulatory approvals for the acquisition and welcomes Ixaris as its latest payments business unit. The definitive agreement to acquire Ixaris was announced on June 7. All of Ixaris’ 86 employees in London and Malta are now part of the Nium family.

“Ixaris has earned a reputation for delivering superior payment solutions, especially for the travel sector. It introduced Europe to virtual credit cards for travel payments back in 2014, which have since become the industry standard.  We look forward to extending their digital payments influence to new growth markets, beyond Europe, including Asia, Africa and North America. Together we will deliver the payments infrastructure this industry has long deserved.”  Prajit Nanu, CEO and Co-Founder at Nium.  

In the wake of the global pandemic, hardest hit sectors, such as the travel industry, are reimagining new payment technologies to replace outdated systems. Modern solutions, including virtual cards are gaining traction as a new and improved way to make B2B travel payments. These highly automated solutions offer complete control over payments and remove the need for manual reconciliation.  

Ixaris has established itself as one of the clear leaders in the B2B travel payments space, with more than 10 million virtual cards issued in 2019. In partnership with Ixaris, Nium published its latest ebook which makes a compelling case for why travel agents should adopt virtual cards to transform their payment strategy.
