Validating a new approach to payments
At PayNearMe, we believe payments should be more than a back-end function. They should be a competitive advantage.
This recognition underscores the strength of our Payment Experience Management approach—helping organizations move beyond basic processing to strategically manage the entire end-to-end payment journey. Our platform enables businesses to intelligently orchestrate payment types, channels and business rules in real time, improving the customer, support and operation experiences while lowering the total cost of acceptance.
We are incredibly proud to receive this top industry honor, which is a direct reflection of our team’s dedication to making payments a competitive advantage for our clients.
Our PayXMTM platform is central to our Payment Experience Management framework, proving that powerful automation and superior customer experience can go hand-in-hand. This recognition validates our strategy to move beyond simple processing and empower businesses to truly manage their end-to-end payment experiences.

The ETA recognition comes on the heels of a landmark year of growth for PayNearMe, as demand for Payment Experience Management continues to accelerate across industries. In 2025, PayNearMe delivered record business results, including significant revenue expansion, increased platform adoption and broader client and partner growth.
Driven by strong market adoption of Payment Experience Management, revenue surpassed $200 million, representing 60% year-over-year growth, and the company now moves more than $50 billion annually on behalf of PayNearMe’s clients and their customers.
To further fuel innovation and support its leadership position, PayNearMe also secured a $50 million strategic investment in 2025—bolstering product development, expansion into key verticals and deeper partnership engagement.
These milestones, alongside rapid client acquisition and continued enhancements to the PayXM™ platform, position PayNearMe for continued momentum in 2026 as businesses increasingly seek smarter, more customer-centric payment experiences.
