The Italian Fintech Challenging Worldline
Worldline is the European banking giant. RoxPay is its modern alternative: onboarding in minutes not months, open APIs, IC++ fees, and an omnichannel dashboard Worldline cannot build.

Fintech Agility vs Banking Bureaucracy
Onboarding in Minutes, Not Months
With Worldline, activating a merchant account requires weeks of documentation and contracts. RoxPay verifies your company via the Business Register in real time: you are operational in minutes.
Modern REST APIs vs Legacy Systems
Worldline has inherited legacy systems from decades of banking acquisitions. RoxPay was built API-first with REST, webhooks, and modern SDKs. Integration in hours, not months.
Clear IC++ Fees vs Opaque Banking Rates
Worldline uses the traditional banking pricing model: non-transparent aggregated commissions. RoxPay separates every cost component (interchange, scheme fee, markup) with full visibility.
Dedicated Team, Not a Call Center
Worldline is so large that an average merchant never gets dedicated support. RoxPay assigns a dedicated technical account manager to every client from day one.
