Amsterdam, November 25, 2024 – NORBr, a no-code, omnichannel-ready Payment Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, has raised €3 million in funding, led by Alstin Capital as the lead investor, with participation from previous round’s lead investor, Portfolion. This capital will support NORBr’s expansion of omnichannel solutions, including advanced features for managing payment terminals, operational efficiency (payops), and compliance, strengthening its offerings to meet the fast-evolving needs of payment operators worldwide.
Meeting a critical market need
The global payments market is projected to reach $2.2 trillion by 2027, and NORBr is addressing the substantial development costs and long timelines that create barriers for operators aiming to modernize or launch payment solutions. With its no-code, adaptable platform, NORBr offers a faster, cost-effective path to market. The platform integrates seamlessly with payment service providers (PSPs) and acquirers, allowing clients to manage diverse payment channels with ease.
What sets NORBr apart is its unique flexibility and rapid deployment capabilities. For example, with NORBr’s Mapper™ tool, merchants can connect with multiple PSPs and integrate new partners in days instead of months. Consequently, this rapid deployment removes the need for additional technical resources, enabling quick onboarding of new payment providers across both in-store and online channels. NORBr’s adaptable routing capabilities offer faster market access and increased resilience in managing payment flows.
Initial success in different markets
NORBr currently serves a growing roster of clients, including prominent luxury brands, health-focused companies like Welltech, and financial service providers such as Equals Money and OnRamp. These clients rely on NORBr’s advanced infrastructure for seamless payment processing, data insights, omnichannel, and API-first capabilities. These features provide a future-ready infrastructure that supports growth without the burdens of legacy systems.
Planned use of funds
This €3 million funding round will accelerate NORBr’s roadmap, including the development of advanced omnichannel features, operational automation, and compliance tools. It will also support targeted hires in key areas to expand platform capabilities and enhance client support.
