Worldline launches Android SmartPOS for UK merchants

November 25, 2025

Worldline, a leading European provider of payment services listed on Euronext: WLN, has launched its Android SmartPOS solution in the UK, marking a significant expansion of its next-generation merchant technology offering.

The company introduced Android SmartPOS to help small and medium-sized businesses streamline their operations. Many merchants find themselves managing multiple providers for payments, loyalty, advertising and customer interaction. Worldline aims to consolidate these needs into one unified platform that reduces operational friction and supports business growth.

Worldline provides advanced payment technology and localised expertise to businesses of all sizes, supporting over one million merchants globally. Its services span acquiring, payment processing, digital commerce and tailored solutions for hundreds of sectors. The company reported €4.6bn in revenue in 2024.

Android SmartPOS is an Android-based payment terminal that merges secure payment acceptance with the flexibility of an app-driven ecosystem. Through the SmartPOS Store, merchants gain access to a wide selection of business applications, transforming a traditional terminal into a connected business tool.

The platform includes secure payment capabilities, POS Advertising for turning idle terminals into customer-engagement displays, and Smart Engage, which allows merchants to collect instant customer feedback through on-screen surveys. A built-in Mini Cashier supports catalogue management, basket creation and streamlined sales directly from the device.

Android SmartPOS also integrates fully with Worldline’s UK acquiring services, enabling acceptance of major card schemes with next-working-day settlement to support cash-flow continuity. Merchants benefit from instant setup, self-service tools and UK-based support.

The product opens access to a growing ecosystem of third-party applications across sectors including EV charging, vending and hospitality. Already active in 16 European markets, the programme will soon extend this wider app offering to UK merchants.

Worldline UK country head – SMB Habib Ansari said, “Small & Medium Businesses (SMB) tell us they’re tired of juggling multiple vendors for payments, loyalty, and customer data. Android SmartPOS brings it all together on one terminal. One solution. Real growth.”
