One week before VoP go-live: where are the PSPs positioned?

With only a few days left before the 9th of October go-live, preparations are advancing at pace and the testing phase continues to deliver strong results. In line with our latest roadmap, the focus is squarely on enabling a smooth, enterprise-scale rollout of VoP (RVM) for our customers, with a particular emphasis on bulk capability.

The last RVM information session, held on 23rd September, confirmed that finalising preparation is challenging for participants, even if activities progress in a controlled and well-governed manner.

Worldline customers finalising preparations with active Worldline support

• Worldline customers are completing their readiness activities with hands-on support from our teams.
• The go-live window has been spread from the 5th to the 9th of October, allowing organisations to stage and validate readiness at scale while maintaining operational continuity.

Special attention to bulk VoP capability

• The bulk payment capability is the most complex component of this phase. Moving from a 1-step to a 2-step payment process represents a significant shift for corporates, and we are helping organisations manage this transition smoothly.
• While some corporates have chosen to activate VoP later to benefit from online VoP experience before activating the VoP extra protection, the majority of PSPs are activating the bulk VoP immediately.
• Worldline is supporting this activation with a state-of-the-art bulk feature, designed to meet the demands of high-volume environments:
  • Fully EPC compliant
  • Support PAIN and ACMT formats for both input and output steps
  • Benefit from the industrial-scale Worldline engine, ensuring fast response times and high reliability

As EPC-certified RVM since 2024, Worldline is uniquely positioned to guide and support PSPs through this evolution, combining cutting-edge technology with deep domain expertise. We’ve proven our capability by helping leading banks and private banks across Europe connect to the VoP scheme. Partner with us to accelerate your path to VoP readiness, optimize operational efficiency, and strengthen your market position in the dynamic payments landscape.
