The funds raised will be channelled towards NPST's strategic priorities that include product innovation, infrastructure enhancement, and capability building in emerging technologies. A significant part of the capital will support NPST's global expansion plans. The company is preparing to scale its footprint across Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and other fast-growing digital payment ecosystems. NPST aims to take its payments platform, which continues to be a major growth engine, into new segments and regions with use cases across collections, embedded finance, and digital banking.
