(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbpayment.co.jp\/en\/\">SBPS<\/a>), a subsidiary of Japan\u2019s SoftBank Corp., marking the company\u2019s largest funding round to date. The investment signifies the beginning of a long-term partnership aimed at simplifying global commerce and expanding payment access across Asia and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ibsintelligence.com\/ibsi-news\/nomupay-terrapay-klickex-pacific-enable-money-ransfers-to-the-pacific-islands\/\">partnership<\/a> represents more than just capital injection\u2014it is a shared commitment to building a frictionless, unified payments experience for businesses navigating international growth.<\/p>\n<p>SBPS, one of Japan\u2019s leading payment providers, had been seeking a global payments partner capable of supporting its merchants&#8217; expansion abroad without sacrificing customer ownership or contending with fragmented solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Leveraging Nomupay\u2019s Unified Payments platform, SBPS merchants can now expand globally through a single API and back office, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple integrations, contracts, and reporting systems. The result is a more streamlined, scalable approach to cross-border payments.<\/p>\n<p>For Nomupay, the partnership unlocks greater access to the Japanese market, long recognised as a complex yet critical payments ecosystem. SBPS offers robust local infrastructure, including embedded payments and carrier billing via one of Japan\u2019s major telecommunications groups. Together, the two firms aim to facilitate seamless, bi-directional commerce between Japan, Asia, and international markets.<\/p>\n<h5>A Shared Vision for Borderless Payments<\/h5>\n<p>Both companies share a common ambition to address the complexities of cross-border commerce. Beyond acquiring, today\u2019s merchants require full-stack platforms that deliver payment acceptance, treasury, and payouts, alongside compliance, localisation, and seamless checkout experiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis partnership allows us to double down on our mission to simplify access to complex, high-growth markets and to power commerce both into and out of Asia through a single, scalable infrastructure,\u201d said <strong>Peter Burridge, CEO of Nomupay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNomupay\u2019s reach and flexibility make them an ideal partner,\u201d added <strong>Jun Shimba, President and CEO of SBPS<\/strong>. \u201cTogether, we are building a more connected, cashless future across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The investment will enable Nomupay to expand its platform capabilities further, broadening support for local payment methods, entering new markets, and enhancing its merchant tools. It is a pivotal development in Nomupay\u2019s mission to become the global payments partner of choice for enterprises seeking confident, scalable international growth.<\/p>\n<p>With SBPS as a strategic partner, Nomupay is poised to accelerate innovation and deepen its presence in Asia, setting the stage for a more unified global payments infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35737,"featured_media":568500,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[42764,11384],"tags":[37557,11712,32851,11668,18944,16288,28958,11731,35995,34830,23742,50164,50163,37283],"class_list":["post-568499","ibsi_news","type-ibsi_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-payments","category-payments","tag-apac-fintech-news","tag-asia","tag-borderless-payments","tag-cross-border-payments","tag-direct-carrier-billing","tag-embedded-payments","tag-fintech-funding","tag-japan","tag-nomupay","tag-payment-acceptance","tag-payment-provider","tag-sb-payment-service","tag-sbps","tag-unified-payments-platform"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v24.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nomupay secures $40m from SoftBank to enter Japan market<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Nomupay has announced a $40 million strategic investment from SBPS, marking the grouplargest funding round to date\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ibsintelligence.com\/ibsi-news\/nomupay-secures-40m-from-softbank-to-enter-japan-market\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Nomupay secures $40m from SoftBank to enter Japan market\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"IBS Intelligence (IBSi) is the world\u2019s only pure-play Financial Technology focused research, advisory, and fintech news analysis firm, with a 30-year track record and clients globally.
