Wikipedia describes the company as follows: « Worldline is a subsidiary of the Atos Group and one of the leading payment services platforms in Europe. The company was formed in 2004 when Atos integrated its payment and online services activities into a separate division, Atos Worldline.

Much of the company's growth has been through mergers and acquisitions. In 2006, Atos Worldline integrated into its scope the Belgian companies Banksys, responsible for securing and guaranteeing electronic payments in Belgium, and Bank Card Company (BCC)4 , specialized in the management of payment systems linked to the country's two largest credit card networks, Visa and MasterCard. The two companies, employing around 1,100 employees and with a turnover of EUR 309 million, are being acquired from their four shareholders: Dexia, Fortis, ING and KBC5.

In 2014, Atos Origin will be partially listed on the Worldline stock exchange for EUR 575 million on 26.59% of its shareholdings, valuing Worldline at a capitalisation of EUR 2.1 billion12,13 »
