By Megha Bhattacharya

Worldline has announced an extension of its partnership with multi-business company TJ Morris in a bid to speed up transaction times. TJ Morris will now have different payment options while boosting contactless payment through a card reader zone. The company will be utilising Lane/3000 in the UK, enabling customers to pay quicker at tills and reduce waiting times.

Frank Christiansen, IT Director at TJ Morris, said, “This extended partnership will mark over 10 years working alongside Ingenico, now part of Worldline. They provide a unique offering for us, acting as a one-stop shop for terminal supply and repair which is important to us as well as giving us the choice to own or lease the hardware. This was a unique selling point when we looked at other providers, combined with the excellent service and competitive commercial offering. The Worldline teams are fully engaged with our business providing solutions and suggestions to challenges that we face in the ever-changing world of Retail. Payments are complex, and it provides great peace of mind to me and the whole IT team here at TJ Morris to know the Worldline professionals are there to support us at every turn.”

Recently, the European Commission announced that Worldline will be leading the Trusted Blockchain (TruBlo) project in the context of the Commission’s Next Generation Internet initiative. The initiative aims to foster a vibrant Open Internet movement that links research, policy, and society for the benefit of society.

Lee Jones, Managing Director Northern Europe, GSV at Worldline, said, “Home Bargains is a beloved household name across the UK, and it is a delight to be extending our partnership so we can continue offering speedy and reliable payments to its customers. With thousands of customers and transactions a day, it is crucial that TJ Morris’ systems are robust, and the potential for missed sales and all the knock-on effects eliminated. We are really excited to see the new Lane/3000 being rolled out across their stores, enabling them and their customers to benefit from this fast, seamless and secure solution.”
