Singapore payments company Nium Pte is pushing back its plans for an initial public offering in the US by more than a year, focusing on shoring up its team and growing revenue.
Nium, now valued at $1.4 billion, will be ready to go public by the end of 2026, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Prajit Nanu said in an interview. It had previously targeted the second quarter of 2025. Nanu attributed the delay to a long search for a finance chief, saying a new leadership now in place will allow it to focus on IPO preparation.
