Nium Crypto Accept enables merchants to broaden their customer base and enhance their online payment experiences, while staying protected from the price volatility of cryptocurrency markets. Merchants will begin rolling out Nium-powered solutions later this year.
“Consumers hold more than $3 trillion in cryptocurrency and are looking for more places to spend this money online,” said Joaquin Ayuso de Paul, Senior Vice President and Head of Nium Crypto. “Crypto Accept allows merchants to quickly and securely enhance their digital commerce experiences to serve consumers demanding more payment options.”
Nium has partnered with BitPay, the world’s largest provider of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency payment services, to enable this safe and easy way to embed crypto payments online for thousands of merchants. At checkout consumers will select their preferred crypto wallet and scan a Quick Response (QR) code to complete their transaction. The service verifies availability of crypto funds and settles the transaction promptly in the merchant’s bank account in their preferred local currency.
“BitPay’s partnership with Nium connects our network to the Nium rails to enable a fast, safe, and easy way for merchants to embed crypto payments into their online business,” said Stephen Pair, co-founder and CEO of BitPay. “Together, we’re making it possible for customers to live life on crypto with more options to spend their crypto with the businesses they know and trust.”
The launch of Nium Crypto Accept at Bitcoin 2022 follows Nium’s announcement of a comprehensive suite of Crypto services accessed via API. The company’s first service, Crypto Invest, allows financial institutions to offer their customers the ability to buy, sell, and hold the most popular digital currencies from their financial apps.

We use an auto-login link to ensure optimum security for your members hub. Simply enter your professional work e-mail address into the input area and you’ll receive a link to directly access your account.
Instead of using passwords, we e-mail you a link to log in to the site. This allows us to automatically verify you and apply member benefits based on your e-mail domain name.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
