NiuPay secures investment from Kina Bank to scale PNG technology across the Pacific

NiuPay today announced that Kina Bank has invested in the company and entered into a partnership to accelerate digital transformation across Papua New Guinea and the Pacific.

Founded in Port Moresby, NiuPay set out to propel government-to-business, government-to-citizen and business-to-business services across the region. The company now delivers platforms that agencies use to collect revenue, process applications and deliver services digitally. This investment positions PNG-developed technology for export across Pacific island nations.

The Department of Lands and Physical Planning and the PNG Immigration and Citizenship Authority have achieved record revenue collections and digital modernisation through platforms built with NiuPay. These results demonstrate what partnerships between government and technology providers can deliver in PNG markets.

“This is a PNG success story,” said James Inglis, Chief Executive Officer of NiuPay. “We’re built here, we’re scaling here and we’re exporting from here. This investment lets us move faster and reach further across the Pacific.”

The partnership between NiuPay and Kina Bank combines expertise in digital modernisation with Kina’s 40-year banking pedigree and digital-first approach to payment technology. This alignment will accelerate development cycles and allow both organisations to deliver platforms that meet the requirements of government and private sector clients.

NiuPay is scaling its PNG workforce through Training and Graduate programmes, creating roles in engineering, product and delivery. The company will expand operations to support current partners while preparing platforms for adoption across Pacific island nations.

“Technology changes what’s possible for service delivery,” Mr Inglis said. “Equitable access to government services, faster processing, higher accountability. That’s what this enables, and that’s what we’re building for the Pacific.”
