With support from the Victorian Government, Worldline has set up its Australian headquarters in the Docklands business precinct.

Worldline’s investment will boost Melbourne’s reputation as an international financial technology, or fintech, hub.

The new operations will support more than 350 Melbourne-based roles.

The payment solutions provider – Europe’s largest technology provider for merchants, banks and financial institutions – is also investing $22.4 million in technological developments over the next five years from its new Melbourne base.

Worldline joins other technology leaders from around the world that have chosen to establish their regional headquarters in Melbourne including Zendesk, Infosys, Square and NCS.
