Nium, a global infrastructure provider for real-time cross-border payments, has expanded its partnership with Abu Dhabi payments firm Digit9 to accelerate payouts in key markets.

The collaboration allows Digit9 to use Nium’s network to execute real-time USD payouts with full value delivery and no hidden fees, improving settlement cycles and cashflow predictability.

There are plans to extend the partnership to additional payout routes.

“Digit9 is evolving what digital payments look like, and we’re proud to power that growth,”

said Anupam Pahuja, Chief Revenue Officer at Nium.

“Our network gives Digit9 the ability to make cross-border payouts fast, compliant, and real-time, enabling the region’s businesses to move money like never before.”

“At Digit9, our goal is to make cross-border money movement as seamless as the digital economy itself,”

said Hashim Rasheed, Head of Digit9.

“Through our partnership with Nium, we’re able to extend real-time, full-value payouts to businesses globally, helping them trade, pay, and grow without borders.”

The partnership supports SMEs by simplifying access to international suppliers, facilitating new trade relationships, and promoting digital adoption in markets previously reliant on fragmented banking infrastructure.
