Worldline is a global leader in payment and transactional services, offering end-to-end solutions that enable merchants, financial institutions and public sector organizations to securely process payments and digital transactions. Established in 1974 as the transaction processing arm of Atos, the company demerged in 2014 and has since expanded through strategic acquisitions, including the integration of SIX Payment Services and the planned combination with Ingenico. Headquartered in Paris, Worldline serves clients in more than 50 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.
The company’s core business is organized into three main pillars: Merchant Services, Financial Services and Mobility & e-Transactional Services. Merchant Services delivers point-of-sale terminals, online payment gateways and omnichannel acquiring capabilities that support credit, debit, contactless and mobile payment methods. Financial Services provides banks and card issuers with processing, clearing and settlement platforms for issuing, ATM management and real-time fraud detection. Mobility & e-Transactional Services offers public transport ticketing, digital identity management and secure electronic document solutions for government and enterprise clients.
Worldline’s technology platform emphasizes security, scalability and compliance, with certifications such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001 underpinning its data protection practices. The company works with a diverse customer base, including major retailers, airlines, hospitality groups and financial institutions, and is active in fast-growing segments like e-commerce, in-store digital payments and instant account-to-account transfers. Its global network architecture connects acquirers, issuers and alternative payment providers to enable a seamless transaction flow across international markets.
Under the leadership of CEO Gilles Grapinet, Worldline has pursued a strategy of innovation and consolidation, investing in cloud-based platforms, artificial intelligence for fraud prevention and open banking solutions. The company continues to explore partnerships and bolt-on acquisitions to enhance its product portfolio and geographic footprint. With an ongoing focus on digital transformation, Worldline aims to support the evolving payment needs of businesses and consumers worldwide.
