During 2018 Nexus processed more than 9 million accounts and 4 billion online transactions.
Headquartered in Belgium, OpenWay is a global developer of WAY4, an open digital payment software platform. This covers card issuing, merchant acquiring, payment switching, omni-channel digital banking, digital wallet, e-commerce gateway, loyalty, and fleet cards.
