Worldline and Finland retail bank OP Financial Group have renewed their decade-long partnership signifying a unified approach to bringing scalable payment solutions to the Finnish market.
The new 12-year agreement will see Worldline continue to become a payment service provider for OP Financial, supplying next-generation solutions for the next decade-plus which will see Worldline migrate its back-office platform to the retail bank.
The advanced platform provides an infrastructure to deliver enhanced payment services to OP Financial’s customers, benefiting from fast transaction processing, elevated security features and new digital payment solutions.
Harri Nummela, EVP of Banking, Private and SME customers at OP Financial Group, said: “Worldline has been a reliable and innovative partner for over a decade, and we are pleased to extend this collaboration for another twelve years.
“Their proven expertise and commitment have been essential in supporting our operations and delivering seamless payment experiences to our customers. We are confident that this renewed partnership will help us achieve our strategic objectives and drive the next phase of transformation.”
The partnership extension builds off the past 10 years of collaboration between the two parties, which has included an overhaul of OP Financial’s card payment infrastructure.
With OP Financial maintaining a leading position in Finland’s retail banking sector, Worldline has supported this through its scalable solutions that have met the growing and diverse demands of its modern banking customers.
Alessandro Baroni, Head of Global Financial Services Worldline, added: “The renewal of our partnership with OP Financial Group for the next twelve years is a testament to the strength of our relationship and the trust OP Financial Group places in our expertise.
“Together, we are continuing the journey to deliver payment solutions that align with OP Financial Group’s vision for the future. This milestone enhances Worldline’s relevance as a trusted partner for large-scale, infrastructural players in the financial sector.”
