Payment service provider Worldline has announced its partnership with Google in order to drive global payments optimisation through cloud-based technologies. Following this announcement, Worldline will leverage the secure and efficient cloud-based technologies from Google Cloud in order to accelerate its overall digital development.

Google is also expected to work with Worldline to facilitate online payments for its customers in the region of Europe. Both companies will jointly address the go-to-market opportunities and deliver new and improved digital client experiences for merchants, traders, and financial institutions. More information on the partnership Worldline initiated the `Move to Cloud` program back at the beginning of 2022, including the process of using the cloud in order to accelerate the digital transformation into a global premium paytech company.

By accelerating its development process, Worldline aims to leverage Google Cloud’s low-latency infrastructure to optimise operational efficiency, costs, and its overall strategic positioning. At the same time, Worldline will also use Google Cloud’s data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) offerings in order to draw benefits from its own information and data, as well as consequently design new payment solutions and tools. The choice of partnering with Google Cloud is also rooted in the company’s focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the low-carbon options that Google Cloud provides.

As part of the expanded collaboration, Worldline will also serve as one of Google’s key payment providers in the region of Europe, as well as across a selection of countries. Worldline will focus on providing Google clients and users with more advanced payment options and support for more payment networks, as well as improved cross-border conversions and a more streamlined, secure, and efficient customer experience. The strategic deal between Worldline and Google will combine expertise and solutions from both firms in order to provide merchants and financial institutions around the world with multiple benefits and capabilities.

The companies aim to design an ecosystem of improved product offerings, delivering added value to traders and banks, as well as setting a faster pace in the process of development. Furthermore, by integrating their specialised knowledge and resources, Google and Worldline will be allowed to deliver optimised payment experiences and accelerate time-to-market strategies. The companies will focus on meeting the needs, preferences, and demands of their users in an ever-evolving market, while also remaining compliant with the laws and requirements of the industry.
