VICTORIA, BC, March 26, 2025 /CNW/ - Worldline [Euronext: WLN], a global leader in payment services, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Castles Technology to provide cutting-edge in-person payment solutions in North America.

Worldline specializes in delivering top-tier payments technology to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), and Banks, in numerous vertical markets across North America. Through industry-leading customer care, local expertise, and seamless integrations, Worldline is dedicated to helping businesses of all sizes grow with innovative payment solutions. As part of this commitment, Worldline is excited to collaborate with Castles Technology, a leading player in the terminal provider industry. 

Castles Technology offers advanced Android payment technology, which is widely preferred by merchants worldwide for its reliability and efficiency. They have established a reputation for prioritizing security, innovation, and user-centric solutions, which align directly with Worldline's strategic goals and position them as a highly trusted partner.  

"At Castles Technology, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of payment innovation, and our partnership with Worldline represents a major leap forward in redefining how businesses accept payments," says Joe Mach, North America CEO, Castles Technology. "By combining our state-of-the-art Android payment solutions with Worldline's deep industry expertise, we are enabling merchants to seamlessly adopt secure, software-based payment acceptance. Together, we are not just meeting market demands—we are shaping the future of payments, providing businesses with the flexibility and security they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world."

This partnership is to provide the premier solution for ISVs by combining competitive advantages and collaborating on an advanced SoftPOS solution. SoftPOS, a software-based Point of Sale, allows merchants to securely accept payments directly on a phone, tablet, or other Android mobile device, bypassing the need for additional hardware. This solution significantly reduces costs associated with traditional POS hardware and can enhance the merchant experience with increased mobility, faster checkout times, and easy integrations. SoftPOS is an excellent fit for a wide range of industries, including field services, not-for-profits, and event management, as well as for small to medium-sized merchants who prioritize mobility and cost-savings.

Worldline and Castles Technology will be showcasing this technology together at the Electronic Transactions Association (ETA) TRANSACT tradeshow in April, and plan to launch their first-to-market SoftPOS solution by the end of 2025.

"Partnering with Castles was an evident decision for our team here at Worldline North America. With aligned commitments to delivering innovative payment solutions, Castles' extensive portfolio of terminal offerings, and joint goals for SoftPOS market introduction, we are thrilled to keep building on our foundation as partners," says Claire Gayton, Head of Operations and Partnerships, Worldline North America.

This partnership marks significant advancements in the SoftPOS and in-person payment technology industry, setting a new standard for payment processing solutions. By merging the strengths of both companies, Worldline aims to drive the adoption of secure, efficient, and scalable payment options, ultimately improving how merchants collect and process payments.

VICTORIA, BC, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Worldline [Euronext: WLN], a global leader in payment services, is pleased to announce a fourth consecutive certification as a Great Place To Work^®.

This recognition follows a comprehensive, independent evaluation by the Great Place to Work Institute® and reflects direct feedback from employees, gathered through a detailed and anonymous survey regarding their workplaces in both the United States and Canada. 

"Achieving the 'Great Place to Work' certification for the fourth consecutive year is an honour that reflects our collective team efforts and shared values. One of our core pillars at Worldline is "Humanizing Payments", which truly begins with the incredible humans within our organization," says Justin Passalaqua, CEO, Worldline North America. "This industry is nothing if not complex and dynamic, so it's imperative that we do everything we can to support our hardworking teams. We would not be where we are today without them and their consistent dedication."

Employees at Worldline continue to enjoy a competitive benefits package, including RRSP matching, 100% employer paid health and dental coverage, parental leave top-up, and a lifestyle spending account. This year, the Worldline Victoria team relocated their office space to a class AA Leed Platinum certified building, a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement.

Additional perks of moving to this office space include the use of their fitness facility, secure bicycle storage, and a shower with changing rooms to provide employees with the opportunity to include physical fitness into their daily routine. 

While these benefits showcase Worldline's commitment to being a responsible employer, the company recognizes that there are several other ways they can be supporting their employees. One of which being to ensure that women and minorities are given equal opportunity for leadership roles. "At Worldline, we're proud of the strides we've made to promote diverse talent within our leadership and management teams," says Claire Gayton, Head of Operations, Worldline North America. "Celebrating the contributions of women and minorities is not just about representation; it's about leveraging their unique perspectives to drive innovation and success."

Nancy Fonseca, Senior Vice President of Great Place to Work^® Canada said that a great workplace is about the level of trust that employees experience in their leaders, the level of pride they have in their jobs, and the extent to which they enjoy working with their colleagues. "Our data shows that great workplaces benefit from reduced turnover and better customer satisfaction than their peers. What's more, work environments with trust at the foundation are ripe for innovation, agility, resilience, and efficiency," Fonseca said.
