Worldline launches AI-powered routing to boost payment authorisation rates

16 iulie 2025

Worldline’s AI-based solution is already being used by global e-commerce customers and will soon be available for other Worldline payment platforms.

Worldline, a global leader in payment services, announced the launch of its AI-powered routing solution, changing how businesses route payments globally. „Following successful pilots, the solution has delivered increased authorisation rates by more than 2% in addition to the 3% improvement achieved with its rule-based routing.” – according to the press release.


Payments are routed through acquirers, and choosing the most suitable one leads to increased authorisation and optimised costs. Worldline’s enhanced routing solution now leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse transaction data and select optimal payment routes in real time to further uplift conversion rates.

„Some of the pilot merchants experiencing an uplift of over 2% in authorisation rates (on top of 3% with rule-based routing). The existing rules-based solution routes transactions to the acquirer with low interchange fee, with one customer witnessing a €1.63M boost in revenue.” – the company said.

„By boosting authorisation rates and reducing cost, Worldline helps customers to maximise profit margins with no extra effort. The solution offers a unique dual-layered routing strategy, combining the reliability of predefined rules with the adaptability of machine learning. This allows businesses to adjust their payment processes to fit specific operational needs.” – Worldline explained.

Key features of the full solution include:

. Omnichannel capability: the rules-based service can be used from multiple touchpoints for both online and in store transactions.

. Global reach: supports multi-currency, multi-acquirer environments with intelligent crossborder payment handling.

. AI-powered routing: this feature used global online businesses selects the most favourable acquirers, increasing conversion rates.

Khalil Kammoun, Head of shared services at Worldline, commented: “With AI-driven routing, we’re enhancing authorisation rates through smarter decision-making and unlocking new revenue for our customers. At Worldline, we view payments as a growth driver for businesses and through this solution, we are delivering on that promise. Our aim is to enable businesses to achieve new levels of efficiency, cost savings, and payment optimisation.
