What Nayax does

Makes cashless payment devices and management software for vending machines, kiosks and other unattended retail.

Sells terminals once, then earns on each card payment that passes through them as the payment processor, so recurring processing and software fees now make up most revenue. Based in Israel, it also acts as the payment facilitator for small operators who would not qualify for a merchant account alone.

Products and services

  • Cashless payment terminals for vending/kiosks
  • Telemetry/remote management software
  • EV charging payment technology

  • Vending machine operators
  • Laundromats/car washes

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Information technology
  • Payments/IoT technology
  • Unattended retail payment & management…

What could go right

  • Growing cashless payment adoption in unattended retail
  • Geographic expansion into new markets

What could go wrong

  • Competitive unattended payment terminal market
  • Hardware/device manufacturing cost exposure

Moat: narrow (installed base, distribution, network effects). Large installed base of payment devices across unattended retail channels creates recurring transaction revenue.
