What it does

Belgian bank-insurance group whose merchant card acceptance runs on Worldline rather than on its own acquiring: the business pages present three Worldline terminals, a Tap on Mobile app for Android and iOS, the compact EX4000 and the portable Saturn 1000F2, and the merchant registers and contracts with Worldline Financial Services (Europe) S.A. The counter terminals take Bancontact, Maestro, Debit Mastercard, Visa Debit, Visa and Mastercard.
