Amsterdam-based Nopan, a performance platform for account and wallet payments, has announced it has raised a total of €7.2 million to date. The latest funding round was led by Newion, with continued support from Crane, Seedcamp, and prominent angel investors. Founded by former Netflix payments leaders, the company aims to help digital businesses optimize and scale modern payment methods across Europe.
Bridging the Performance Gap in Modern Payments
The European payments landscape is rapidly evolving with the rise of account and wallet-based methods like the pan-European initiative Wero. However, these newer options often lack the reliability and operational maturity that merchants have come to expect from traditional card networks. Nopan was established to address this critical performance gap for digital businesses.
Successfully scaling these payment methods requires more than a simple technical integration. It demands continuous optimization across payment routing, bank connectivity, and operational processes to ensure a seamless customer experience. Nopan's specialized infrastructure is designed to manage these complexities and deliver consistent results for its clients.
Fueling European Expansion and Product Development
The new capital will be instrumental in accelerating Nopan's next phase of growth. The company plans to expand its payment method coverage across the continent, providing merchants with broader access to local and pan-European options. This strategic expansion is a core component of its mission to build a comprehensive payment performance platform.
A significant portion of the investment will also be dedicated to enhancing the platform's optimization capabilities and strengthening its commercial teams. Drawing on their deep merchant-side experience, the founders are focused on building next-generation infrastructure tailored specifically for account and wallet payments. Their ambition is to become the default performance layer for fintechs and digital enterprises.
Investor Confidence in a Merchant-Native Vision
Lead investor Newion expressed strong confidence in Nopan's market position and focused strategy. Pieter Welten, a Partner at Newion, stated that Nopan addresses a clear and growing need for scalable infrastructure in the account payments sector. He highlighted the company's deep industry experience and technology as key differentiators for future leadership.
This vision is shared by co-founder and CEO Konstantin Surkov, who emphasized the challenges merchants face beyond initial payment method integration. He explained that Nopan was created to solve the complex problem of making payments perform reliably across different banks, customer behaviors, and markets. This focus on post-launch optimization is central to the company's value proposition.
Building Momentum with Key Milestones
Nopan has already achieved several significant milestones that validate its strategy and operational readiness. The company secured its operational license from De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) in the fourth quarter of 2025. It has also become a Principal Member of the European Payments Initiative (EPI), positioning it to support the rollout of Wero.
The platform is now live with its initial customers, who are providing positive feedback on its performance and capabilities. This early traction is generating growing commercial interest from leading enterprise businesses and Payment Service Providers across Europe. The company's progress demonstrates a clear market fit for its specialized services.
With a total of €7.2 million in funding and a clear strategic direction, Nopan is well-equipped to pursue its mission of transforming the account and wallet payment ecosystem. The investment from Newion, Crane, and Seedcamp validates its merchant-focused approach to solving complex performance challenges. As digital payments continue to evolve, Nopan is positioned to become an essential infrastructure partner for businesses across Europe.
