Case Study: a leading regional marine shipping company streamlines payroll and remittances with Nium corporate card solutions

Digitising Maritime Payroll With Debit Cards

BSM, a leading regional marine shipping company, needed to streamline a legacy payroll process that relied on cash and cheques, making it hard to pay seafarers who were constantly traveling between ports and often operating in underbanked regions. The company turned to Nium and its corporate card and maritime payment solutions to create a simpler, more convenient way for employees to access their wages and move money internationally.

With Nium’s global card issuance platform and branded white-label app, BSM could disburse payroll to employees on ships, provide physical and virtual debit cards, and enable remittances to bank accounts worldwide. The result was a more secure, compliant, and convenient payroll system that reduced cash on ships, improved tracking and control, and allowed Nium to issue cards in just 4 weeks.
