Worldline has deepened its longstanding collaboration with PSA Payment Services Austria GmbH (PSA), Austria’s leading provider of comprehensive payment solutions, through a major initiative to migrate to a cutting-edge, next-generation payments platform.
The upgrade will leverage Worldline’s advanced cloud-based and API-enabled technology, delivering superior scalability, resilience, security, and forward-looking features that fully comply with European regulatory standards. This move positions PSA to modernize its critical infrastructure while preserving uninterrupted service reliability for Austria’s financial sector.
PSA serves as a cornerstone of Austria’s payments landscape, handling mission-critical transaction processing for banks and ensuring secure, high-volume payments nationwide. By anchoring the new system in Worldline’s European sovereign cloud, the partnership enables modernization without sacrificing continuity, stability, or data sovereignty—key priorities in the region. The solution balances global-scale efficiencies with tailored support for Austria’s unique market needs and consumer preferences.
This strategic enhancement is expected to set a new standard for payment infrastructure in Austria, combining robust next-generation capabilities with a localized focus.
