Payments solutions platform Nayax is the latest FinTech seeking an American banking charter. The Israel-headquartered company announced Thursday (Aug. 6) that it had applied to the Connecticut Department of Banking to establish Nayax America Bank Inc., a “non-depository innovation bank” chartered under Connecticut’s Innovation Bank framework. This represents a larger opportunity to become the financial platform our customers rely on to run their businesses,” Aaron Greenberg, chief strategy officer of Nayax, said in a news release. According to the release, the bank would let Nayax customers in the U.S. access a variety of financial services, such as corporate cards, controlled-spend programs and working capital solutions like merchant cash advances and equipment financing, all delivered through the Nayax platform. Also Thursday, Nayax announced the launch of Yellow Account, an account/deposit service for small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers, with Adyen as sponsoring bank.
