Worldline launches payment suite

Payment specialist Worldline is launching a full-service payment solution dedicated to cater to the needs of the EV charging market.

With more than 695,000 new EVs registered in the EU, during the last trimester of 2022 – a 30% increase in comparison with the year before – the EV charging sector is one of the fastest growing industries across Europe, with demanding consumers and a need for smooth user journeys.

Worldline says its all-in-one payment solution has been developed for the very particular needs of network providers and users for the e-mobility segment.

Worldline EV Charging Payments is a modular suite designed to meet the specific needs of all players in the EV charging ecosystem: infrastructure owners, charging station manufacturers, chargepoint operators and mobility service providers across the European continent.

Worldline says its solution meets international and local payment requirements of charging providers and retailers.

Additional features are specifically tailored to the charging process, such as preauthorisation, incremental authorisation and online reversal. The latter guarantees that funds do not stay blocked for too long on the driver’s bank account.

From an end-user perspective, Worldline EV Charging Payments Suite supports a range of charging use cases, such as tap & charge, scan & charge and park & charge. This is complemented by cross-border payment options such as international and national debit cards, credit cards, e-commerce payment options and mobile payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay.
