US-based instalment service Splitit has partnered payment services operator Worldline to deliver an integrated card-based instalment payments solution in North America. The solution is targeting Worldline’s extensive network of merchants and marketplaces, and the partnership combines the company’s position as a preferred partner to many merchants worldwide with Splitit's Instalments-as-a-Service platform to provide complementary value for both companies.

In an initial stage, Wordline is set to integrate Splitit into its North American processing platform and to enable Splitit APIs via its front end to provide merchants with a simplified methods for adopting card-based instalments. Following the initial launch, the companies are set to continue to explore further expansion into additional geographies. Card-based instalment payments and details on the partnership Splitit provides a white-label platform that enables the delivery of one-click instalments embedded within a merchant’s existing checkout flow.

A Splitit and Worldline joint offering, the merchant-branded experience helps reduce clutter and confusion of a multitude of payment logos at checkout, helping ensure brand consistency while simultaneously driving loyalty and repeat purchases. As per information provided in the press release, Worldline officials believe that the increase in merchant demand for next-generation instalment options brings forth a significant opportunity. The white-label instalment service that Splitit delivers offers consumers a method to utilise existing credit better to split the purchases’ cost while simultaneously enabling merchants to have increased control over the entirety of the experience.

By collaborating with Splitit, Worldline aims to offer their customers value-added payment services that can be implemented in a quick and easy manner.
