CaixaBank partners with Italy's Oniverse to roll out new payment system in Spain

CaixaBank has signed a strategic alliance with the fashion group Oniverse, which includes brands such as Calzedonia, Intimissimi and Tezenis. The partnership will deploy the bank's new payment solution, developed by Comercia Global Payments, across the 350 Oniverse points of sale in Spain. The platform integrates payment processing, e‑commerce, loyalty, tax‑free and accounting functions on a single interface. Key features include dynamic currency conversion for foreign customers, secure token‑storage for recurring payments, offline operation, QR‑based e‑tickets and in‑person tokenisation, all linked directly to merchants' management systems to automate collections and reduce errors.

The rollout occurs amid a strong rise in card payments in Spain, with Q1 2024 card‑based purchases up 7.07% year‑on‑year and cash withdrawals falling 1.10%. Comercia Global Payments – a 50/50 joint venture between CaixaBank and Global Payments – already serves more than 640,000 merchants and holds over 30% of the Spanish point‑of‑sale market, reinforcing its leadership as the new solution expands.
