Gr4vy and Worldline strengthen partnership to simplify global payment expansion

Building on 2024 strategic alliance, partnership expands to new regional and industry initiatives, helping merchants scale payments globally with greater speed, flexibility, and local relevance.

San Mateo, November 19th 2025 – Gr4vy, the cloud-based payments orchestration platform, and Worldline, a global leader in payment services, have strengthened their partnership to expand global payment capabilities for merchants. Since announcing their strategic alliance in August 2024, the collaboration has matured from initial integration to delivering new initiatives across markets and industries, helping businesses streamline cross-border payments, localize experiences, and accelerate international growth.

The partnership combines Gr4vy’s flexible payment technology with Worldline’s global acquiring network and regional infrastructure, giving merchants a single, scalable way to enter new markets and optimize payments locally. Together, the two companies are delivering solutions that reduce technical complexity and operational overhead while improving customer experience and conversion across regions.

Expanding Industry Solutions Beyond Initial Focus

Building on the partnership’s initial focus on gaming, media, retail and digital goods (areas where transaction volumes, recurring billing, and compliance requirements create additional challenges), the collaboration now includes specialized solutions for the travel industry. The integration includes Worldline’s TravelHub, designed specifically for airlines, OTAs, and hospitality brands. TravelHub provides a single interface for accessing local payment methods, FX conversion, refund automation, and fraud protection, simplifying multi-market operations and enabling faster expansion.

“Our mission has always been to remove complexity from payments,” said John Lunn, Founder and CEO of Gr4vy. “Through our continued collaboration with Worldline, we’re giving merchants the tools and connections to grow faster, supported by the reach, reliability, and expertise of a global payments leader.”

“We’re excited to expand our relationship with Gr4vy,” said Guillaume Tournand, VP of Strategic Expansion & Partnerships at Worldline Merchant Services. “Together, we’re combining innovation and scale to help merchants optimize their global payment strategies and deliver exceptional customer experiences.”

Roadmap for Continued Innovation

The partnership roadmap continues to expand, with new integrations planned across Worldline Direct, enabling local acquiring for Australian merchants, and Worldline Connect, designed to simplify global scalability. Both companies also plan to collaborate on subscription and recurring payment solutions, reflecting their shared commitment to powering long-term merchant growth.

With a shared focus on innovation, simplicity, and global reach, Gr4vy and Worldline continue to explore new ways to deliver value through technology, connectivity, and expertise, empowering merchants to scale with confidence in every market.
