Worldline and Klarna Partner to Enable Flexible, Online and In-Store Payments Everywhere

Worldline [Euronext: WLN], a European leader in payment services, and Klarna, the global digital bank and flexible payments provider, have announced the signing of a framework agreement to improve access to Klarna’s full suite of flexible payments across online and in-store points of sale serviced by Worldline. Worldline will integrate Klarna more deeply into its technology stack, and acquire transactions, making it much simpler for businesses to offer Klarna to their customers.

The rollout will begin this year with the integration into the Global Collect platform, which is Worldline’s global online payment solution for international e-commerce players in the Travel & Digital sectors. During the second stage of the rollout, Worldline’s network of enterprise and small and medium-sized e-commerce customers will be able to activate Klarna through a streamlined, guided onboarding process on Worldline’s GoPay online payment platform. In the latter phase of the agreement, Worldline will extend Klarna’s full suite of payment methods, including Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, to in-store point of sales (POS) terminals.

Klarna’s flexible payment options, including immediate payments, interest-free, short-term credit and longer-term financing, attract more shoppers and make the checkout simpler and more rewarding for everyone. This partnership enables businesses, regardless of size, to benefit from improved customer satisfaction and increased sales.

Markus Frei, Head of Worldline Acquiring Services, commented: "Worldline is thrilled to partner with Klarna to bring innovative payment solutions to businesses of all sizes. Leveraging our strong local presence, this collaboration will introduce BNPL services across markets, delivering real value for merchants and consumers alike, whether for online or in-person transactions while driving growth across Europe."

David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna, added: "This is a huge step in our mission to make Klarna flexible payments available to everyone, everywhere. Partnering with Worldline, Europe’s largest card acquirer, gives us an incredible opportunity to connect even more businesses with our platform and support consumers everywhere to pay smarter. Together, we’re helping merchants grow while giving consumers the increasing levels of choice and convenience they have come to demand and expect."
