Dubai, UAE – 27th November, 2025 – NymCard today announced a partnership with Visa Direct, Visa’s global real-time money movement network, enabling banks, financial institutions, and enterprises across the Middle East, North Africa, and Pakistan to send cross-border transfers with greater speed, certainty, and security.
Through this integration, NymCard clients gain access to Visa Direct’s reach of more than 11 billion card and account endpoints across 190+ markets, allowing funds to be delivered in near real time. Cross-border transfers can be initiated through a single API connection, giving enterprises a more efficient way to manage business-to-business payments, from supplier transfers to broader payout needs.
NymCard further strengthens its offering for enterprises with its invoice lifecycle management product. This solution digitizes the entire process, from invoice validation and approval to the final payout. When combined with Visa Direct, businesses benefit from a secure, digital, and cost-effective way to handle supplier payments, reducing manual tasks and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
All transfers are safeguarded by NymCard’s comprehensive compliance and continuous transaction-monitoring framework. Each payout operates within a tightly regulated environment designed to protect data confidentiality, safeguard customer privacy, and maintain rigorous risk controls — giving clients confidence as they scale cross-border operations in line with regulatory expectations across the region.
“Cross-border transfers are essential to how businesses operate. With Visa Direct integrated into our payments infrastructure — strengthened by our invoice lifecycle management capabilities — clients can move funds globally with greater speed, security, and operational control.
