Nuapay is licenced and regulated as a full Payment Institution.

What can a Payment Institution do?
With Nuapay, Sentenial's Payment Institution, customers are issued with one or more accounts as appropriate for their needs with these accounts being accessible and managed over the Internet. Customers can make or receive credit transfers and direct debits with the money either being received into or paid out of their Nuapay account. In addition to facilitating the processing of payments, Nuapay provides customer with a wide range of features that greatly simplify both the processing and management of payments.

What can't a Payment Institution do?
Nuapay can issue customers with accounts that look and feel like a bank account but there are necessarily some limitations on what these can be used for.

Is my money safe?
All of the customers' money is thus fully protected against Nuapay not being able to fulfil any of its obligations. This differs substantially from banks where only a relatively small percentage on customer's money is safeguarded.

Who regulates a Payment Institution?
Nuapay is regulated in London by the Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA).

Imagine knowing what payment terms and early payment discount rates each of your suppliers is adopting today in their business. And then imagine being able to set optimal payment terms and automatically offering early payment discount rates to the right person at the right time based on your business rules. Now envisage scaling that approach over tens of thousands of suppliers across your supply chain and adapting it as behavior changes. This is the world that Taulia is creating through our new Artificial Intelligence engine - Polaris.

Polaris is built on the payment behaviour of more than 1.4 million businesses, which have transacted over $1 trillion dollars and additionally pulls in credit rating and behavioural data from third party sources. Treasurers no longer need to rely on subjective data or intuition when setting payment terms and rates, but instead can take a data driven approach to devise and assess different cash optimisation strategies and deploy them using Machine Learning to adapt offers over time. The result? Companies across the supply chain unlock new levels of working capital and earn substantially higher returns on yields.

There is no entering the global stage without a suitable banking network. Following a single bank strategy or using just one banking group likely will not meet the needs of all markets. The obstacle: finding a banking structure that will cater to both old and new markets. This is a time-consuming and complex process that raises many questions: How do I know which bank best meets my needs? What will this cost me? Do I need to comply with any regulations or legislation? Jumping all the administrative hurdles of international banking can be a nightmare. BELLIN's mission is to create global transparency in transaction banking by revolutionizing this administrative bank onboarding process for corporate clients. How can we make transaction banking transparent and efficient? How can we streamline the process of connecting to a bank? BELLIN's groundbreaking new approach here is the concept of the Virtual Network Bank. The key to improved transparency is standardization. By providing access to a virtual bank network that includes suitable banks in any country and for any requirements, BELLIN paves the way for effortless international banking.
