Worldline Powers Next-generation Stablecoin Payments with Circle Payments Network (CPN) Managed Payments

Worldline (EURONEXT: WLN), a European global leader in payment services, today announces its partnership with Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL), a global financial technology company, in support of the launch of Circle Payments Network (CPN) Managed Payments. Through this collaboration, Worldline will enable access to compliant, stablecoin-powered settlement capabilities for financial institutions and payment service providers across Europe.

As part of this collaboration, Worldline will enable its clients to access stablecoin-powered settlement through a single integration, while continuing to operate within existing fiat-based workflows. Circle manages the underlying infrastructure, including issuance, liquidity, compliance controls, and blockchain orchestration, allowing institutions to integrate these capabilities without additional operational complexity. 

CPN Managed Payments is a fully managed settlement solution that enables payment service providers (PSPs), fintechs, banks, and global enterprises to access the speed and efficiency of digital dollar-based settlement without holding or managing digital assets directly. It addresses key barriers to adoption by abstracting the complexity associated with digital asset management, enabling institutions to access these capabilities while continuing to operate within familiar financial and compliance frameworks. 

This initiative reinforces Worldline’s mission to deliver innovative, secure, and multi-rail payment capabilities. With a single Worldline API, clients access near-instant 24/7 settlement, maintain existing fiat workflows, and scale globally with internet-native payment rails.

By leveraging CPN Management Payments, , Worldline seeks to enable a seamless, secure, and compliant transition towards the future of payments. These next-generation payment capabilities improve speed, availability of funds, and operational efficiency while ensuring alignment with European compliance, sovereignty, and safety standards. 

“Our clients need payment infrastructure that embraces innovation while evolving with the market. Worldline has consistently supported emerging rails, and stablecoins are no exception. Through CPN Managed Payments, we are making it simple for our partners to access blockchain-native settlement while remaining fully compliant and operating within their existing 

fiat workflows.” declared Madalena Cascais Mendes Tomé, Global Head of Financial Services Processing and Financial Institutions at Worldline.

“Worldline’s strong presence across the European payments ecosystem and deep relationships with financial institutions make them a key partner in expanding access to CPN Managed Payments,” said Nikhil Chandhok, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Circle. “Their expertise in multi-rail payments will help drive adoption of stablecoin-powered settlement across Europe.”
