Leading global payment solutions provider Worldline has chosen Melbourne as the location for its Australian headquarters and innovation centre, supporting hundreds of highly skilled jobs in the financial technology sector.
Minister for Industry Support and Recovery Martin Pakula yesterday welcomed Worldline’s investment, which will boost Melbourne’s reputation as an international financial technology hub.
With support from the Andrews Labor Government, Worldline has set up its headquarters in the Docklands business precinct where it will deliver merchant payment solutions as part of a joint venture with ANZ, called ANZ Worldline Payment Solutions.
The new operations will support more than 350 Melbourne-based roles across the joint venture and Worldline’s support services, including 185 newly created roles and 169 roles transferring from ANZ’s local operations.
The company—Europe’s largest technology provider for merchants, banks and financial institutions—is also investing $22.4 million in technological developments over the next five years from its new Melbourne base.
Victoria is a leading destination for financial services with the sector employing more than 120,000 people and contributing $47 billion each year to the local economy.
This announcement is an example of the Labor Government’s International Investment Strategy in action, a blueprint to attract more international investment on growth areas like financial technology.
Worldline joins other technology leaders from around the globe that have chosen to establish their regional headquarters in Melbourne including Zendesk, Infosys, Square and NCS.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
