Worldline launches EV Charging Payments Suite in Europe

By Gloria Methri

Worldline, a global specialist in payment services, is launching a full-service payment solution dedicated to catering to the needs of the EV Charging market.

Leveraging the proven Worldline payments technology, Worldline EV Charging Payments Suite is designed to meet the specific needs of all players in the EV Charging ecosystem: infrastructure owners, charging station manufacturers, charge point operators, and mobility service providers across the European continent.

The solution meets all international and local payment requirements of charging providers and retailers across the EU and can be deployed in every European country.

To efficiently support the exponential growth of charging networks, Worldline EV Charging Payments Suite is by default compatible with all commercially available charging stations in Europe.

The Suite is also compliant with all the latest regulations, including country-specific ones like the German mandatory calibration (Eichrecht). Additional features are specifically tailored to the charging process, such as pre-authorisation, incremental authorisation, and online reversal. The latter guarantees that funds never stay blocked for too long on the driver’s bank account.

Worldline EV Charging Payments Suite enables the full set of charging use cases, such as Tap and Charge, Scan and Charge, and Park and Charge. This is complemented by cross-border payment options such as international and national debit cards, credit cards, e-commerce payment options, and mobile payments such as Apple Pay or Google Pay.

“With EV Charging Payments Suite, Worldline is taking the e-mobility payment landscape to the next level, by making payment processing extremely easy for all industry professionals and EV drivers alike,” said Radu-Vasile Pop, Global Head of Self-Service Verticals, Parking & EV Charging at Worldline. “Charging providers will particularly benefit from the flexible integration options and best- in-class support. With its user-friendly interface and effortless and intuitive charging process, it is appealing to drivers and has been specifically built to help EVC merchants turn payments into an asset to enhance their customer journeys”.

Worldline will present its EV Charging Payments Suite to the public for the first time at Power2Drive 2023, booth FM703/26. The electromobility trade fair will take place from June 14 to 16 in Munich, Germany.
