Marketplaces​

Running a marketplace means coordinating buyers, sellers, PSPs, and compliance — across currencies and markets. Nium consolidates these into a single platform: one integration to collect funds from any PSP, split commissions, hold seller balances, and pay out globally.

Nium's three-tier model — Platform, Seller, and PSP — gives you dedicated multi-currency accounts at each layer, automatic reconciliation, and full audit trails across every transaction. Key capabilities include:

  • Collecting buyer payments from any whitelisted PSP in local currencies via virtual accounts.
  • Splitting commissions automatically using rules you configure, enforced atomically by Nium.
  • Holding seller funds in individual multi-currency sub-accounts.
  • Paying out to sellers across 190+ markets via local rails, wallet-to-wallet, or SWIFT.
  • Running KYC/KYB for sellers end-to-end under Nium's licenses in 40+ markets.
