Press Release Paris La Défense, Montrouge, 30 June, 2026 Worldline's partnership with Crédit Agricole is evolving with the acquisition of 100% of CAWL by Crédit Agricole CAWL will continue integrating Worldline Group's acceptance solutions into its payment solutions Worldline [Euronext WLN] and Crédit Agricole announce an evolution of their partnership for merchant payment services in France, with Crédit Agricole acquiring 100% of CAWL. This deal was completed today, June 30, 2026. The two groups are launching a new phase of their collaboration to continue the commercial momentum initiated by the partnership, while simplifying its operating structure, thus evolving their cooperation from an equity-based model to a commercial partnership.

Pierre-Antoine Vacheron, Chief Executive Officer of Worldline, says: "Our collaboration with Crédit Agricole is evolving from an equity-based model to a commercial partnership, with the same ambition to best serve the needs of Crédit Agricole's clients. This operation is part of the strategic refocus of our Group initiated in 2025. We remain fully committed alongside Crédit Agricole, a trusted lo...
