Nets Group
“Can a payment infrastructure operator become the financial backbone for merchants by layering embedded financing and data-driven lending on top of its existing acquiring and processing rails?”
The 'Nets Group' label encompasses at least two distinct entities: NETS Singapore (a national payment infrastructure operator owned by Singapore's major banks, founded 1985) and N&TS GROUP Networks & Transactional Systems Group S.p.A. (an Italian card management and processing company). The Nordic 'Nets' brand, historically a major payment processor across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, was acquired by Nexi Group and continues to operate as a payments infrastructure provider. The Nordic entity has expanded beyond pure processing into embedded merchant financing via a Liberis partnership, while the Singapore entity is extending its payment-data infrastructure to enable bank-led SME lending. N&TS GROUP Italy focuses on card issuing, acquiring, and e-money processing as a B2B infrastructure provider.
