As part of the partnership, Google will also work with Worldline to facilitate seamless online payments for Google’s customers in Europe.
Accelerating digital transformation with the cloud sustainably
Since 2022, Worldline has initiated a “Move to Cloud” program that includes using the cloud to accelerate its digital transformation into a global premium paytech company. Accelerating its trajectory, Worldline now plans to leverage Google Cloud’s secure, high-performance, and low-latency infrastructure, enhancing its operational efficiency, optimizing costs, and improving its strategic positioning.
Worldline will also tap into Google Cloud’s data analytics and AI capabilities to benefit from its data and develop new payment products and services. The choice of Google Cloud also results from Worldline’s long-lasting focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the low-carbon options Google Cloud offers as a leader in sustainability.
