Worldline, a global leader in payment services, enables merchants, banks and service providers to easily enter the Metaverse. In the future, the Metaverse will be another retail commerce channel alongside POS and e-commerce. McKinsey estimates the global market volume of Metaverse commerce between 2 and 2.6 trillion US dollars by 2030*.
Worldline’s white-label solution gives companies, without their own Metaverse presence, the opportunity to prepare for the Metaverse now and gain initial experience. Worldline launches the new shopping mall in Decentraland on March 8th with the first 9 stores, including the German direct bank Consorsbank, The Chedi Andermatt, a Swiss luxury hotel, an Naked Life, a non-alcoholic spirits brand from Australia. This white-label solution is suitable for any company developing a Metaverse strategy and looking for a cost-effective way to get started. Worldline is here to help them in this innovative approach. (...) This is also the case for Chedi Andermatt, a luxury hotel in Switzerland: “The Chedi Andermatt is recognized for being a pioneer or more precisely a trendsetter for new and innovative approaches in the luxury hospitality industry. More and more guests prefer the uncomplicated opportunities that the online world entails nowadays. Thus, we are confident that in the future, the tourism and hotel industry will be just as unimaginable without the Metaverse as is online shopping for fashion,” says Jean-Yves Blatt, General Manager at The Chedi Andermatt. “We are delighted to be one of the first banks in Europe to open a location in the Worldline Mall in the Metaverse. As a pioneer in digital direct banking in Germany, it is our goal to be curious and innovative in our approach to our customers and to adapt and explore modern technologies at an early stage. It is therefore a logical step to be present in the Metaverse along with Worldline as a technology provider,” says Svenja Weith, Head of Tribe Banking at Consorsbank. Sascha Münger, Metaverse Expert at Worldline, says: “We believe that the Metaverse, alongside stationary point of sale and e-commerce, is the sales channel of the future. The decision to open the Worldline Shopping Mall reflects this vision. For well-known brands in particular, our virtual shopping mall offers an ideal precondition for venturing into the Metaverse with a clear conscience at low cost.” Full story here
