A new four-way partnership has been announced between payment and data security firm Bluefin, the banking institution Cassa Centrale Raiffeisen, the independent software vendor (ISV) ICIT, and global payments firm Worldline.
Working together in South Tyrol, the firms are looking to improve payment capabilities across devices in the premier tourist destination with new payment offerings as well as data security, creating a new all-in-one experience.
The thriving tourism, hospitality, and retail sectors make it an ideal environment for advanced and innovative payment technology. The partnership not only facilitates the immediate rollout of all-in-one devices but also sets the stage for future expansions into unattended and e-commerce payment solutions. By leveraging the expertise of Bluefin, businesses in the region will benefit from robust security and efficient payment processing.
“At Bluefin, we are excited to collaborate with leading players and ISVs to deliver validated P2PE solutions across Europe and all global regions,” said Cheng Chieh Chen, Bluefin’s senior vice president, Europe.
“Together with Cassa Centrale Raiffeisen, ICIT and Worldline, we are committed to transforming the payment landscape in South Tyrol by delivering payment innovation, security, and enhanced customer experiences to this vibrant market.”
“As the main provider of banking services for Raiffeisen Banks in South Tyrol and as corporate banking experts, we are constantly trying to find new products and solutions to better meet the needs and requirements of our corporate clients and to optimise their work processes” explained Simon Ladurner, general director of Cassa Centrale Raiffeisen.
“Thanks to our partnership with Bluefin, ICIT and Worldline, we provide innovative and state-of-the-art payment systems to gastronomic businesses in South Tyrol. Thus, we contribute to the economic development of our province.”
Julia Rachor, head of SMB central sales management at Worldline, added: “This ISV partnership, in which Worldline is providing secure and robust payment processing services, will enhance the delivery of an expanded, competitive, and innovative payment offering tailored to the Italian market.
