AUSTIN, Tex., January 30, 2019 – Novo Dia Group, Inc. (NDG), a leader in developing electronic benefit transfer (EBT) payment solutions, announced today that it has secured a $2 million investment from Square, Inc.

“Investing in Novo Dia is a no-brainer—their SNAP and WIC payment-acceptance tools provide a critical service to important and underserved customers,” said James Loftus, Square Corporate Development Lead. “Our investment will make sure Novo Dia can continue to support buyers and sellers in farmers market communities across the country.”
“We are delighted to see investment from Square into this critical space,” said Phil Blalock, Executive Director of the National Association of Farmer’s Market Nutrition Programs (NAFMNP). “It will ensure that farmers and farmers markets can continue to operate and expand their customer base for all types of transactions anywhere in the country as well as avoid any interruption in service.
