WORLDLINE Competitive Strengths

Competitive Strengths C.2

The payment ecosystem is undergoing considerable change. New entrants, such as Facebook’s Libra, are attempting to disrupt existing models. At the same time 2019 has seen major global consolidation activity (First Data/Fiserv, FIS/Worldpay, Global Payments/TSys). Regulation is opening up markets and removing certain barriers of entry (PSD2). This means that Worldline competes both against those incumbents with global scale and reach and newer entrants with disruptive business models (Fintech).

Worldline believes it has the unique combination to face this competition: Worldline is a major player in Europe with an expanding ● global footprint, especially in emerging markets; Worldine has a comprehensive positioning across ● the extended payments value chain; And a leading presence in next-generation payment ● services.
