The story

Founded in 2005 as a cashless payment hardware and software provider for unattended retail (vending, car wash, laundry, EV charging), Nayax evolved from a pure payment facilitator into a full commerce enablement platform offering loyalty, management tools, and embedded financing. The 2021 Nasdaq listing provided capital to expand globally. The 2023 launch of Nayax Capital marked a deliberate move into embedded lending for its merchant base, while the 2024 Adyen partnership extended acquiring reach into Latin America and APAC. The addition of CoinBridge (virtual-asset-to-cash) signals nascent embedded crypto ambitions.
