Payments specialist joins industry body to engage in the UK’s EV charging ecosystem
HERZLIYA, Israel, 11 February 2026: Naya Ltd. (Nasdaq: NYAX; TASE: NYAX), a global payments service provider specialising in unattended commerce, has joined ChargeUK, the UK’s national trade association representing the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry.
By joining ChargeUK, Nayax will contribute to industry discussions alongside charge point operators, infrastructure providers, policymakers, and technology partners shaping the future of EV charging in the UK. The membership reflects Nayax’s intention to engage more closely with the wider EV ecosystem, particularly on the role of payments, accessibility, and operational standards as infrastructure continues to scale.
ChargeUK represents over 40 companies operating more than two-thirds of the UK’s EV charging infrastructure and supports the delivery of the UK’s net zero target by 2050. While UK greenhouse gas emissions have fallen significantly since 1990, the Climate Change Committee has warned that further progress is required, including removing friction for both drivers and operators as EV adoption grows.
As the EV charging network expands, payment accessibility and reliability are increasingly recognised as crucial to driver confidence and charger utilisation. Nayax brings experience from across unattended environments, drawing on its established leadership in UK vending, where its technology is deployed at scale. This experience helps ensure card-based payment journeys perform reliably across various charging locations and operator models.
Through its EV payments capabilities, Nayax works with charge point operators and site owners to support straightforward, regulation-ready payment journeys that align with evolving industry requirements and commercial realities – including for smaller operators entering or scaling within the market.
Vicky Read, Chief Executive Officer at ChargeUK, commented:
“As the UK’s EV charging network expands, it’s essential that infrastructure is easy to use, commercially sustainable, and accessible to all drivers. Payments are a key part of that experience, and we’re pleased to welcome Nayax to ChargeUK as we work together to support the continued growth and maturity of the sector.”
Andy Knight, Sales Director at Nayax, added: “Joining ChargeUK reflects our long-term commitment to the UK’s EV charging ecosystem. We believe EV charging should be a commercially viable and accessible opportunity for site owners, not an overly complex technical challenge. By contributing our payments expertise to the wider industry conversation, we’re looking to help make EV charging easier to deploy, easier to use, and more sustainable as adoption accelerates.”
