In brief : Worldline falls on stock exchange

The global payment giant Worldline faces new challenges. While he just confirmed his support In order to participate in the project on the harmonisation of payments in Europe, serious accusations have just led to the stock exchange. And more than his actions, his reputation as a payment actor is now compromised.

According to 21 EIC media, including Mediapart, Worldline has covered billions of euros in suspicious or fraudulent transactions on behalf of its customers classified as "high risk" for years.

Worldline is accused of knowingly violating its regulatory obligations by closing its eyes on these activities.

These revelations plunged Worldline's course into a stock exchange of nearly 40%, bringing it to its lowest historical level.

Beyond its reputation and today's risk of deterioration in its relations with its partners, these new disclosures pose serious risks to the company, ranging from regulatory fines to suspension or withdrawal of its payment licences. However, no formal proceedings have yet been made public.
