Filed under: Tech companies · Banks & financial companies · Companies that support Israel
Background
Nayax appears in boycott discussions because of its identity: it is an Israeli payments and fintech company founded and headquartered in Herzliya, whose R&D is done in Israel and whose 2021 Tel Aviv Stock Exchange IPO was celebrated as the largest tech flotation in the exchange’s history. This research found no documented corporate cash donation by Nayax to the Israeli military or to a war-relief charity. What the record does hold is the CEO’s public solidarity-and-condolences statement of October 2023, a company programme for the first anniversary of October 7 that included dozens of holiday gift boxes bought from the Hostages Families Headquarters and reported as purchased as a donation, and the continuity of its Israel-based operations.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 2005 | — | State of Israel (headquarters, R&D, employment and capital markets) Israeli fintech company: founded in 2005 by Yair Nechmad (chairman and CEO) and David Ben-Avi (CTO), headquartered in Herzliya with its research and development center in Israel. Its May 2021 IPO on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange raised about $210 million at a roughly $1 billion valuation — billed as the largest high-tech IPO in TASE history — before the company dual-listed on Nasdaq (NYAX) in September 2022. Roughly 1,100 employees globally. | |
| Public statement | 2023-10-18 | — | Israel (solidarity statement and business reassurance after October 7) Eleven days after October 7, Nayax issued a business-operations update from Herzliya assuring investors the war in Israel 'has not materially disrupted the Company's business operations' (its R&D center is in Israel; about 8% of revenues come from Israel). Co-founder and CEO Yair Nechmad said: 'We are heartbroken by the horrific acts of violence and terror that occurred in Israel... Our deepest condolences to all the people and families who have been affected and have lost loved ones. We hope for the safe and speedy return of all the hostages.' Statement made by the CEO on behalf of the company. | |
| Donation | 2024-10 | — | Hostages Families Headquarters (מטה החטופים), the Israeli campaign body of the October 7 hostages’ families For the first anniversary of October 7, Nayax bought dozens of holiday gift boxes from the Hostages Families Headquarters (מטה החטופים) and handed them out to its own employees; Calcalist and Walla both write that the boxes "were purchased as a donation". The same anniversary programme put memorial displays on every company screen, where staff shared stories of relatives and friends, and hosted a talk by Lt. Eden Ram, who fought in the operations room of the Urim base on October 7, 2023. No sum was reported for the purchase, so no amount is recorded here. The two outlets carry the same wording from material supplied by the company: one account published twice, not two independent reports. |
