The NMI gateway login URL is nmi.com/logins. Enter your username and password there to reach Merchant Central, the gateway dashboard. The wrinkle: NMI is a white-label platform resold by thousands of payment companies, so if your account came from a reseller rather than NMI directly, your sign-in page may live on a branded URL — something like gateway.yourprovider.com — that runs on the same NMI infrastructure. Both lead to the identical dashboard.
This page explains how to find the right sign-in for your account, what to do when login fails, and how to spot the fake NMI login pages that target payment merchants. We do not put a username-and-password form on this site by deliberate policy: a credential field on any domain other than the genuine gateway is exactly what phishing looks like.
Branded vs. direct logins — which is yours?
This is the single most common source of NMI login confusion. Here is how to tell which kind of account you have:
Direct NMI account
You signed up with NMI itself. Your login is nmi.com/logins and the screen carries NMI branding.
Reseller-branded account
You signed up through a payment company. Your login is a branded URL they gave you, running on NMI underneath.
USAePay account
Your statement or welcome email mentions USAePay. Sign in at the USAePay console instead.
People also ask about the NMI login
Why does my NMI login page show a different company's name?
Because NMI is white-label. The payment company that sold you the account brands the sign-in screen with their own logo and colors. The platform running behind it is NMI's. This is by design and is not a sign of anything wrong — most NMI merchants never see the NMI name at all. If you are unsure whether a branded page is legitimate, contact the company that issued your account directly, using a phone number from your contract rather than from the page.
How do I find my NMI gateway login URL?
Check the welcome email from whoever set up your merchant account — the gateway URL is almost always in it. Failing that, look at any saved bookmark, your last login email, or your processing statement, which often names the gateway provider. If you signed up with NMI directly, it is nmi.com/logins. When all else fails, the reseller that onboarded you can re-send your gateway URL.
I forgot my NMI password — how do I reset it?
Use the forgot-password link on the sign-in screen; the gateway emails a reset link to the address on file. On white-label deployments, password policy and resets are sometimes managed by the reseller, so if no email arrives, contact the payment company that issued your account. Resellers can also reset a merchant's password from their partner portal.
Is the NMI login down?
The genuine gateway rarely has full outages. If you cannot reach nmi.com/logins at all, the issue is more often local — a browser extension, corporate firewall, or DNS cache — than a platform outage. Try a different browser or network first. Your reseller can confirm whether there is a known incident.
How to sign in, step by step
- Go to your gateway URL. nmi.com/logins for a direct account, or the branded URL from your welcome email.
- Enter your username. Usually the email or username assigned when the account was created — not your processing account number.
- Enter your password and submit.
- Complete any second factor if your reseller has enabled multi-factor authentication.
- You land on Merchant Central — the dashboard with the Virtual Terminal, transaction reports, and settings.
When sign-in fails
Most "I can't log in to NMI" cases come down to one of these:
- Wrong gateway URL. A branded-account merchant trying nmi.com/logins (or vice-versa) sees a valid login screen that rejects their credentials because the account does not exist on that host. Confirm your correct URL first.
- Username confusion. The gateway username is set at account creation; it is not your merchant ID or your email unless that was used.
- Account locked. Repeated failed attempts lock the user for a cool-off period. Wait rather than burning more attempts, then reset the password.
- Reseller-managed access. On white-label setups, the partner can suspend or expire a user. If credentials that worked yesterday fail today, contact your provider.
Avoiding NMI login phishing
An email warns of a "held settlement" or "account verification required" and links to a page that looks like an NMI or reseller sign-in. The URL is a near-lookalike — an extra word, a swapped domain, an odd subdomain. The form captures the credentials in real time and the operator uses them within minutes. Payment merchants are a standing target for this.
Three habits stop almost all of it:
- Never sign in from an email link. Bookmark your gateway URL and use the bookmark.
- Read the address bar. It must be exactly
nmi.com/loginsor your known reseller host, over HTTPS. - Turn on multi-factor authentication if your reseller offers it — it blunts a stolen password.
If a link, email, or ad sends you anywhere other than your known gateway URL — close the tab and type it yourself.
FAQ
What is the NMI login URL?

Why is my login branded with another company's name?
NMI is white-label. The payment company that sold you the account brands the gateway with their logo. The platform is NMI's. This is normal.
I never received a gateway URL. Where do I find it?
It is in the welcome email from whoever set up your merchant account, and often on your processing statement. The reseller can re-send it. A direct NMI account uses nmi.com/logins.
Can I reset my NMI password myself?
Usually yes, via the forgot-password link. On some white-label deployments the reseller controls resets — if no email arrives, contact the company that issued your account.
