Nomupay raises $40M from SoftBank's SBPS to expand in Asia
Irish fintech Nomupay has raised $40 million from SB Payment Service Corp (SBPS), a SoftBank Corp. group company, at a valuation of $290 million. The investment will help Nomupay expand its unified payment platform across Asia, EMEA, and Europe, enabling merchants to access fragmented Asian markets through a single API. Alongside the investment, Nomupay and SBPS formalized a strategic partnership to support bi-directional commerce between Japan, Asia, and the rest of the world. Nomupay, founded in 2021, serves over 1,500 merchants and has raised more than $120 million in total funding across four years. The deal also includes SBPS's Satoru Sakai joining Nomupay's board, strengthening governance and cross-regional integration.

Apple Pay Launches in India with Axis Bank
Apple Pay is set to launch in India on Tuesday with Axis Bank as its initial banking partner, according to TechCrunch. The rollout is limited, initially supporting Axis Bank credit cards on Visa and Mastercard, not RuPay. Acceptance is restricted to merchants enabled for the service. Apple is seeking a fee of about 20 basis points per transaction, taking a significant portion of the roughly 40-50 basis points margin in the payments layer. HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and SBI Card are not expected to support the launch due to ongoing commercial negotiations. Apple Pay enters a market dominated by UPI, but could appeal to affluent iPhone users. The service allows adding credit cards to Apple Wallet for online and contactless payments. This adds to Apple's growing India business, with 28% smartphone value share in 2025.
Revolut Tests Face Recognition Payments in UK
Revolut is piloting a new payment method called 'Pay with Smile' in select UK branches of the coffee chain Kiss the Hippo. Customers link a facial scan to their Revolut account, and a camera at the checkout recognizes the face to trigger payment via Revolut Pay. The system eliminates the need for physical cards, smartphones, or wearables. It relies on Revolut's own hardware, the Revolut Register point-of-sale system. Revolut emphasizes end-to-end encryption and assures merchants pay no extra fees beyond standard processing. Biometric data is not accessible to merchants. The pilot aims to streamline transactions in settings like cafeterias. Questions remain regarding GDPR compliance in the EU and potential issues with multiple users in the checkout zone.
