Additionally, Nium will also offer multi-currency cards with multi-wallet spend management features to its clients.

Nium head of cards product Gitesh Athavale said: “While payments are moving online, a lot of the corporate expenditures made by employees are still funded through company-issued cards.

“This is even more prevalent in Europe, where card payments still dominate.

Nium added that its APIs tools combined with Visa products and services will support different use cases for spend management across various platforms.

This includes reconciling entertainment and travel expenses for employees, paying suppliers and vendors overseas, or technology companies looking to send payments to their community.

Last month, Nium had launched the same service in Australia as well.
