NORBr, a Dutch Payment Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, has raised €3 million in funding led by Alstin Capital and joined by previous lead investor Portfolio to further enhance features for payment terminal management, operational efficiency (PayOps), and compliance. NORBr’s CEO, Nabil Naimy highlighted the company’s mission: “With our extensive experience in building payment platforms, we’ve seen firsthand the challenges of high investment, delays, and the ongoing demands of platform management. NORBr was created to solve these issues, providing a robust and innovative infrastructure that supports legacy upgrades and facilitates new market entries for our clients. Our lean, capital-efficient approach has enabled us to deliver a highly impactful solution that maximises client value.” NORBr offers a no-code, flexible platform, enabling rapid deployment and cost-effective payment infrastructure solutions. By integrating with payment service providers (PSPs) and acquirers, NORBr allows clients to efficiently manage multiple payment channels, both online and in-store. What NORBr sets apart is their unique capability for fast integration and adaptability. With tools like Mapper™, merchants can connect to multiple PSPs and onboard new partners in days rather than months, reducing the technical resources needed. This adaptability facilitates quick market access and enhances resilience in managing complex payment flows. Dr. Andreas Schenk, Principal at Alstin Capital, emphasised NORBr’s market potential: “We are thrilled to support such an experienced team in building the next generation of payment infrastructure. This is evident in their enterprise-level technology and impressive customer base. The no-code, omnichannel solution offers two key advantages: Firstly, it enables the fast and secure integration of new payment service providers worldwide, both in physical and online retail. Secondly, NORBr’s infrastructure facilitates the modernisation of legacy systems. We couldn’t be happier.“ INGEN HOUSZ (Quirijn van Veen, Frans Ruijs, Eeke van Vegchel - Kenninck) advised lead investor Alstin Capital.
