Payment solution providers ACI Worldwide and Verifone are set to join forces to offer a comprehensive pan-European card payments platform for European retailer Auchan Group.

The retailer already leverages ACI’s omni-channel UP Retailer Payments solution for cross-border payments.

The solution will now integrate with Verifone’s VX 820 PIN pads and payment as a service provision to manage card and non-card transactions in-store.

The new platform will adhere to the nexo standards, which are unified card payments standards designed to support international interoperability.

ACI Worldwide head of merchant retail Europe Andrew Quartermaine said: "ACI, Verifone, and Auchan share the same disruptive payments vision and we are pleased to open up our flexible multi-vendor, acquirer-agnostic solution to work collaboratively with Verifone in support of Auchan."

The platform is anticipated to be rolled out to all Auchan stores across France later in 2016.
