Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I pay out to cards for my freelancers, creators, influencers, or other workers?

    Yes! In some countries, we can support Payout to card using the Visa Direct network. Another option is to issue your own branded cards to those workers and then load funds onto those issued cards when a payment is warranted.  

  • I’m looking for a payments partner, but I’m not sure if I’m an “online platform.” Can you tell me more about this term?

    Many terms are being used to describe a wide range of businesses. We are using “online platforms” because it is generally accepted as a broad segment of businesses that operate digitally to connect customers. Examples include (but are not limited to):  

    • Spend management platforms (sometimes also referred to as expense management platforms)  
    • Supplier payment platforms (sometimes referred to as account payable/receivable platforms)  
    • Payroll platforms (either as part of a human resources (HR) service, human capital management (HCM) service), or a stand-alone payroll platform)  
    • Marketplaces 
    • Talent platforms (includes freelancer payments, gig worker payments, contractor payments, creator payments, influencer payments, and more).

  • What products are available to SaaS and Online platforms?

    Nium offers Payin, Payout, and Card Issuance aimed at helping you design the program that works best for your platform participants.
