• Partnership with Worldline, Europe’s leading digital payments provider, demonstrates growth of BNPL
• APEXX and Worldline working closely with regulators to ensure upkeep of responsible lending practices
London, 15 December 2021 – APEXX Global, (APEXX), the multi-award-winning global payments platform, has announced a long-term strategic partnership on Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) with Worldline, a global leader in the payments and transactional services industry.
As part of the strategic partnership, Worldline will enable their global e-commerce merchants to access BNPL solutions in over 40 markets globally via APEXX’s BNPL Connect platform. Worldline will initially launch with several leading BNPL providers offering extensive coverage and will continue expanding its offer throughout 2022.
APEXX launched BNPL Connect in March this year to address the surging popularity of BNPL as a flexible payment method and to simplify the onboarding process of BNPL solutions for PSPs and their merchants. BNPL Connect allows merchants to access multiple BNPL solutions through one consolidated API, and in turn, consumers can choose from a range of different BNPL options to suit their financing preferences. This significantly reduces the time to market and cost for merchants and payment service providers in offering these services globally.
Worldline is the world number four and the European leader in digital payments, with over 1 million merchants and over 20,000 employees worldwide. With its global reach and its commitment to innovation, Worldline is the technology partner of choice for merchants, banks and third-party acquirers as well as public transport operators, government agencies and industrial companies in all sectors.
APEXX and Worldline are working closely with regulators and BNPL providers around the world to ensure responsible lending practices are upheld.
Rodney Bain, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder at APEXX, said: “We’re delighted to partner with one of the world’s leading payment technology companies on BNPL Connect. The reception since we launched has been incredible and the addition of Worldline’s unrivalled group of merchants onto the platform demonstrates the surging popularity and growing significance of BNPL solutions in the global payment industry.”
Davide Polidori, Head of Growth at Worldline’s Digital Commerce, said: “The BNPL market has grown enormously, bringing simple, flexible and instant purchasing power to customers. We’re pleased to be able to bring BNPL Connect to our merchants soon, which allows them to offer a wide range of responsible financing BNPL solutions and a streamlined customer experience for customers globally.”
