What we do!

NMI enables our partners with choice, and challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to payments. You've probably used NMI in the last 24 hours without even realizing it. Were the platform that powers success for innovative tech created by SMBs, entrepreneurs and fintech startups. Were creative problem solvers who help visionaries smash through boundaries and think beyond whats possible so they can think about whats next. But were not just built for the tech savvy. We democratize the latest payments technology so that everyone can realize the benefits of easy payments across the full spectrum of commerce. Were all about enabling more payments in more ways and more places.

We believe that having a diverse group of employees strengthens both our work and our workplace. Were focused on making NMI more diverse and welcoming with initiatives like having a dedicated Diversity, Equity & Inclusion action group, diversity goals for hiring, anonymized resume screening, affinity groups such as our Women's network and LGBTQ+ Network, open forums for discussions on diversity and social justice, and measuring inclusion and belonging as part of our regular employee engagement surveys.
