Worldline and Neonomics Build Open Banking Partnership Across Nordics

Worldline, a global leader in payment services, today announced a partnership with Neonomics, an open banking disruptor, to extend its account-to-account payments and data aggregation coverage to the Nordics, including Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

Both companies are focused on connectivity to banks exclusively through PSD2-compliant APIs. Through the partnership, Worldline will deliver its merchants, banks, and acquirers in the entire Nordic region access to aggregated financial data and account-to-account payments. And Neonomics, to cater to existing customer needs and regulatory approval prior to integration,  will expand to several additional core European markets.

Michael Steinbach, Head of Global Business Line Financial Services at Worldline explains, "We are excited to partner with Neonomics, as they have one of the most robust unified bank API platforms, with a technical set-up that supports our need to work with partners that can offer highly secure services in both today's and tomorrow's regulatory environment. By working together, we can make open banking an even more pan-European offering that helps to streamline payments and enables access to banking account data.”

Christoffer Andvig, CEO of Neonomics, states, "We are very proud to partner with Worldline to expand the significant benefits of open banking much further across Europe, to spur the growth of account-to-account payments and to continue driving innovation on the data side through Worldline's strong position as a preferred partner to many industry-leading companies."

Earlier this month, Fazzaco reported that Worldline has signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of Banco Desio​'s merchant acquiring activities ​and the planned set-up of a commercial partnership.
