Commenting on the results, Gilles Grapinet, CEO of Worldline, said: “Worldline executed a very satisfactory first half of the year with a 9.3% organic growth, supported by a solid double-digit performance in Merchant Services.
“These strong business trends coupled with cost optimisation plans, integration synergies and operating leverage, allowed the Group to deliver an 80 basis points margin expansion led, as planned, by a solid improvement in Merchant Services profitability despite inflationary headwinds impacting our costs base”, Grapined added.

On 19 April 2023, Worldline entered into discussions with Credit Agricole, seeking to establish a joint venture to provide payment services to businesses and clients.
According to Grapinet, combining Worldline’s technology with Credit Agricole’s distribution power would help “create the future leading player in the French market, able to deliver premier services to all merchants.”
