HERZLIYA, Israel, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nayax Ltd. (NASDAQ:NYAX, TASE: NYAX)), a global commerce enablement, payments, and loyalty platform designed to help merchants scale their business, today announced its participation as both exhibitor and sponsor at the NAMA Show 2026 - the industry's largest annual conference for vending and convenience service professionals - taking place April 22-24, 2026 in Los Angeles, CA.

The NAMA Show is the premier gathering for unattended retail operators across North America. This year Nayax will be at Booth #1929 with a clear message: complexity in unattended retail can be turned into a strength with the right partner.

Nayax delivers an integrated, end-to-end platform designed around how operators run their business. That means the freedom to deploy the right solution at every location, the intelligence to act on real-time data, and the tools to build lasting customer relationships - all through a single partner.

Nayax supports the full spectrum of unattended retail payments- including traditional vending, smart coolers, and micro markets - matching the right technology to each point of sale. The right payment infrastructure goes far beyond authorization rates; it means continuous transaction optimization and ongoing compliance (PCI-DSS, EMV, SOC2, KYC, cash discounting), so operators have full assurance that every transaction that should succeed, does.

As the payments and commerce landscape grows more complex across technology, regulation, and shifting consumer expectations, Nayax has made a deliberate move to embed value-added services such as integrated loyalty, embedded banking, and smart operational tools to enable profitability and competitiveness for Nayax customers.

Nayax will highlight two platform expansions coming in Q2 2026:

Embedded Finance: Nayax is expanding further into embedded finance, bringing financial services directly into the commerce platform.

Coming soon: Yellow Account - a dedicated business account built specifically for small and growing operators, designed to simplify financial management and put real-time financial tools within reach for businesses of every size.

Smart operational tools: Nayax's mobile management app, MoMa, is introducing a new intelligence layer in Q2 2026. Providing operators with access to insights across their business through a conversational assistant, optimization of product placement with planogram suggestions and rapid planogram setup using visual recognition. All building on deep foundation of existing smart capabilities, together helping operators know what matters and act on it.

Beyond MoMa, Nayax's Management Suite and telemetry platform provide operators of any size with full visibility and control over their business. From MoMa and Core to VendCore Pro (formerly VendSYS), its enterprise-grade Vending Management System (VMS), Nayax enables warehousing, forecasting, and route optimization at scale. Whether managing five machines or over fifty thousand, operators have the right tools to streamline operations and accelerate growth.

"As part of Nayax's commitment to enabling merchants to grow their business at scale and with ease, we are continuously expanding our end-to-end unattended payments platform," said Carly Furman, CEO of Nayax LLC. "Innovations like the new MoMa AI layer and expanded VMS APIs and integrations, self-checkout solutions, and embedded finance are all part of the same mission: helping operators understand what matters to their business so they can make informed decisions with confidence."

Attendees visiting Booth #1929 will see Nayax's platform in action across the full commerce journey: from payment acceptance and compliance management through loyalty, embedded finance, AI-powered operational insights, and consumer engagement.

Carly Furman will present on the NAMA mainstage in the session: "Payments & Security: Turning Complexity into Opportunity" - Thursday, April 23, 2026, 2:00 -2:30 PM, joined by co-presenters and Nayax partners Lance Whorton from Imperial and Jason Scherer from Pelican Group.
