Worldline has announced a long-term extension of its existing partnership with Belgian consumer bank KBC/CBC to continue providing issuing processing in the country.
Alongside issue processing, Worldline will also facilitate transaction services to KBC’s services portfolio in the Belgian market as the two parties will take a greater focus on customer-centric solutions.
Alessandro Baroni, Head of Financial Services at Worldline, said: “The signing of this significant extension with KBC not only solidifies the collaborative relationship between Worldline and KBC but also stands as a prime example of how Worldline approaches and develops partnerships.”
The six-year agreement is viewed as vital for KBC and its services and products to continue to develop and evolve alongside market requirements and customer demands.
With Worldline’s issuing service portfolio and its understanding of client needs and market trends, KBC will work closely with an industry-leading partner that drives continual improvement, innovation and growth.
This announcement reinforces Worldline’s presence in the Belgian market and stands as an example of its capabilities in supporting financial institutions globally.
