At NMI, coming together is a big part of our culture, especially as a remote-first team. These moments are all about sparking innovation, strategizing, collaborating on future goals and most importantly, having fun! Last week, our Merchant Relationship Management (MRM) team hosted their end-of-year summit, bringing together Product, Product Engineering, Program Management and Product Marketing. The summit's goal was to solidify the product roadmap for 2025 and to strengthen the team's bond. Good news.. they nailed both! We’re excited about what’s ahead in 2025 and can’t wait to share updates on our MRM solution next year. As for the team-building fun? That’s something we can share right now! Here’s to the next one! ** Our team didn't actually end up in prison - it was in the Escape Room! (Honest!) #2025planning #teambuilding #payments

At NMI, we love to shop small! ??? When the call went out to NMIers to name their favorite small businesses, messages came flooding in!! What excites us most are the stories behind their picks, what makes them unique and mostly what our NMIers love about them. Over the next two Saturdays, we'll be sharing some of our choices and telling you a little about the businesses selected. This post is sure to make you hungry as it's all about food and drink. ?? Our top five picks from the product, marketing, and engineering teams: ATX Homemade Jerky in Austin, TX, is a must for me. It is so popular with all my family when I bring it back to Illinois for the holidays. It's a perfect take-home gift for every one of them. https://atxjerky.com/ Run by Eddy and his wife, Del Oliva in Burlingame, CA, is one of my favorite local shops. They sell fresh olive oil, balsamic vinegar, wine and specialty food and kitchen products from Italy. They have an olive oil and balsamic gift bag, which is a great gift for the holidays or as a hostess gift for a family or friends’ dinner. My favorite item is their Sicilian Lemon Vinegar that goes great in a salad or your favorite cocktail! https://www.deloliva.com/ Casa Guipzot, in San Antonio, TX, is a beautiful Latino-owned business specializing in Mexican wines. Seriously, their wines are SO tasty. They are my go-to, especially if I am heading to dinner with friends. They know me and always choose the best wines. https://lnkd.in/eRvjnAiv Bear & Boards Charcuterie in New Bern, NC, is incredible if you’re looking for a memorable, locally made gift or just want to make your next gathering extra special. Mike's boards are a real work of art, thoughtfully designed and made with quality foods to bring a unique touch to any gathering; it's a real personalized, handcrafted experience. https://lnkd.in/eDKJfu8Y XUL is one of my favorite places in Knoxville, TN! It's locally owned, has amazing beer on tap, a fun lineup of events, a rotating roster of local food trucks, and an incredible atmosphere. Plus, they’ve got online merch for sale and to-go drinks. https://xulbeer.com/ This season, NMI is proud to team up with American Express’ #ShopSmall initiative. We encourage you to consider shopping small over the holidays—over half of all respondents to our survey cited a sense of belonging or community. We'd love to hear about your favourites.

We've had a fantastic few days at the T2 Connect Customer Conference! The atmosphere was electric with 400 attendees, insightful presentations and engaging discussions about the future of parking technology ecosystems.. and even a marching band! Oli Carey's presentation on De-mystifying Card Payments was very well received, and we appreciate the great feedback. It was great to meet so many people, who stopped by our stand for a more detailed conversation about our payment solutions for parking. We're already looking forward to next year!

Did you know that 78% of consumers are willing to pay more for a purchase if it helps a small business thrive? Since 2010, American Express has been the driving force behind Small Business Saturday. As the payment platform of choice for more than 4,000 partners and their merchants, NMI has long been an advocate for small businesses, which is why we’re proud to support this initiative. Ahead of this year's sales event, we conducted a survey to learn about consumer perceptions around locally-owned businesses and how they feel about shopping small, and it highlighted some fascinating trends! Our survey found that 87% of consumers feel that gifts from small businesses are more thoughtful than those from big box stores, while 78% said they would be willing to pay more if it would benefit a small business. We also found that shopping small makes people feel satisfied, proud, and a stronger sense of community. 50% of respondents said they had shopped during past Small Business Saturday events, with the majority planning to do so again this year. With small businesses employing more than 61 million people in the United States alone, it's incredibly important to support our friends and neighbors — especially during the holidays.
