Combining Global Telecom Rails with Embedded Payments and AI-Driven Compliance to Unlock New Monetization Pathways Across Messaging, Voice, and Cross-Border Workflows

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 12, 2026 / Nixxy, Inc. (“Nixxy” or the “Company”), a rapidly scaling communications and data infrastructure platform, today announced a strategic partnership with PayToMe.co (“PayToMe”), an AI-native fintech and financial automation company focused on mobile payments, digital invoicing, and cross-border compliance workflows. The partnership is designed to integrate PayToMe.co’s proven embedded payment and invoicing capabilities into Nixxy’s global telecom footprint, bringing payments, settlement, and compliance automation closer to where customer engagement already happens, SMS, voice, and messaging. By layering fintech workflows onto Nixxy’s telecom rails and data infrastructure, the companies aim to create new, recurring, high-value revenue streams while enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency.

“Telecom and fintech are converging in a very real way,” said Mike Schmidt, CEO of Nixxy. “When you combine carrier-scale communications with embedded payments and AI-driven compliance automation, you don’t just add a feature, you open up an entirely new category of revenue and utility on top of existing volume. This partnership supports our strategy to expand from communications into adjacent, high-growth ecosystems, including cross-border services and mobile-to-mobile commerce, disciplined, practical, and built on infrastructure we already operate. This was always the plan, Scale the engine. Improve the mix. Move up the stack.”

PayToMe.co contributes an AI-native fintech and financial automation platform, including mobile-to-mobile embedded payment infrastructure already proven across ecommerce, travel, and hospitality, and global supply chain ecosystems. Nixxy intends to enable these capabilities across its communications pathways so that outreach, confirmation, invoicing, billing, and payment can occur inside a single messaging or voice-driven workflow.

In practical terms, the partnership is expected to support use cases such as:

• Payment-enabled messaging for customer support, reminders, and transactional engagement

• Invoice-to-settlement workflows for SMEs and enterprise customers

• Cross-border payment and compliance automation integrated into communications journeys

• Programmable workflows that connect communications, identity, risk, and settlement steps

The partnership is also intended to pursue AI-enabled compliance automation, including KYC/KYB and risk workflows that support cross-border transactions and regulated environments. PayToMe.co’s platform is integrated with 12,000 financial institutions globally and supported by leading infrastructure providers, including Stripe, Plaid, IBM, NVIDIA, and AWS (“Amazon Web Services”), to support enterprise-grade deployment and interoperability.

Together, the companies expect to focus on:

• Embedded payments and invoicing across SMS, voice, and mobile engagement

• Automated compliance and settlement workflows across jurisdictions

• Fraud and risk reduction through workflow automation and policy controls

• New licensing and usage-based revenue models aligned with margin expansion

Traditional telecom monetization is often defined by scale and efficiency. By incorporating payments and settlement workflows into communications channels, Nixxy believes it can increase the value of each interaction, shifting from “communications” unit economics toward “communications + commerce” economics.

The Company believes the partnership can support:

• Higher ARPU potential through value-added fintech workflows

• Transaction-based and recurring revenue opportunities that complement existing traffic

• Reduced operational friction via automation and integrated workflows

• Faster cross-border settlement experiences for customers operating globally

Partnership Structure and Next Steps
The partnership is structured to preserve independence and intellectual property ownership for both parties, while enabling product collaboration, commercial coordination, and platform integration. The companies expect to pursue phased deployment aligned with customer demand, regulatory requirements, and technical integration milestones.

“PayToMe.co was built for the future of mobile-first AI infrastructure and financial workflows,” said Mike Ulker, CEO of PayToMe.co. “Partnering with Nixxy brings those capabilities into carrier-scale communications environments where customer engagement is already happening. We see this as a powerful step toward frictionless, compliant mobile commerce at a global scale.”
