APEXX Global, the multi-award-winning global payments platform, has announced a long-term strategic partnership on Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) with Worldline, a global leader in the payments and transactional services industry.

As part of the strategic partnership, Worldline will enable its global e-commerce merchants to access BNPL solutions in over 40 markets globally via APEXX’s BNPL Connect platform. Worldline will initially launch with several leading BNPL providers offering extensive coverage and expanding its offer throughout 2022.

APEXX launched BNPL Connect in March this year to address the surging popularity of BNPL as a flexible payment method and simplify the onboarding process of BNPL solutions for PSPs and their merchants. BNPL Connect allows merchants to access multiple BNPL solutions through one consolidated API. In turn, consumers can choose from a range of different BNPL options to suit their financing preferences. This significantly reduces the time to market and cost for merchants and payment service providers in offering these services globally.

Rodney Bain, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder at APEXX, said: “We’re delighted to partner with one of the world’s leading payment technology companies on BNPL Connect. The reception since we launched has been incredible, and the addition of Worldline’s unrivalled group of merchants onto the platform demonstrates the surging popularity and growing significance of BNPL solutions in the global payment industry.”

Davide Polidori, Head of Growth at Worldline’s Digital Commerce, said: “The BNPL market has grown enormously, bringing simple, flexible and instant purchasing power to customers. We’re pleased to be able to bring BNPL Connect to our merchants soon, which allows them to offer a wide range of responsible financing BNPL solutions and a streamlined customer experience for customers globally.”

Recently, IBS Intelligence reported that Worldline, a global leader in the payments and transactional services industry, is partnering with Bexs Pay, a leading Brazil-based payment provider, to launch a cross-border remittance product for online payments from Brazil, South America’s most vibrant economy.
