“Can Nayax become the full-stack commerce operating system for unattended and self-service merchants globally — owning payments, lending, loyalty, and crypto conversion?”
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.
Nayax processes payments through Nayax Payments (self-operated) and Adyen.
Nayax uses Adyen for FX and cross-border payouts.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in Nayax's stack: Payments / PSP (Nayax Payments (self-operated) and Adyen); Lending (Nayax Capital — interest-free equipment financing (US), Nayax Capital — Pay as You Grow (revenue-based repayment), Nayax Capital — Fixed Payments plan and Nayax Capital UK (0% APR revenue-based and fixed plans)); FX & payouts (Adyen).
Nayax is founded in 2005 and headquartered in Herzliya, Israel.
