DELFT, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 23, 2026--

Online Payment Platform (OPP), part of the Worldline Group and the leading payment provider for platforms and marketplaces, today announces a new strategic partnership with SUNMI, a global provider of BIoT hardware for retail and hospitality. The partnership delivers a complete, in-store and omnichannel embedded payment proposition designed for software providers and resellers across Europe.

OPP has built a full-stack, out-of-the-box payment infrastructure that removes the friction of complex integrations and fragmented technology stacks. SUNMI complements this with a comprehensive ecosystem of devices, purpose-built for SoftPOS commerce.

Together, OPP and SUNMI enable SaaS platforms and resellers to support a wide range of payment use cases, from traditional countertop payments to mobile and self-service scenarios, through a single, unified solution.

The result is less technical overhead for development teams, less friction for commercial and sales teams, and significantly faster onboarding and deployment for merchants operating in multiple European markets. Ultimately, the partnership aims to make payment monetisation accessible to software providers that have historically lacked fully integrated payment and hardware solutions.

“Payments should be a growth engine for software companies, not a technical obstacle,” said Richard Straver, Founder of OPP. “With this partnership, we remove the barriers that have traditionally made payments hard to monetise. SaaS platforms can launch faster, merchants can onboard easier, and platforms gain a new, predictable revenue stream, all from a single, integrated solution.”

Instead of stitching together acquirers, terminals, compliance requirements, and reporting tools on a country-by-country basis, SaaS providers gain access to one integrated platform that covers the full payment stack. With simple APIs, competitive and predictable commercial models, and built-in scalability, OPP removes much of the traditional complexity associated with launching and managing payments.

"At SUNMI, our vision is to build a BIOT platform that helps fintechs and solution providers deliver tangible value to merchants, at scale.Our partnership with OPP is a great example of that. Together, we make it easy for ISVs to combine SUNMI's device portfolio with embedded payments, without added complexity.

By bringing payments and business applications onto a shared hardware and software foundation, we're enabling an ecosystem where innovation is practical, scalable, and ready to deploy,” says Vincent Fillaut, Head of Payment at SUNMI.

Through the collaboration with SUNMI, OPP extends this proposition into physical retail and hospitality environments. SaaS platforms can now offer modern, device-based payment experiences as part of their core product, combining software, payments, and hardware into a single, commercial proposition that was previously difficult to achieve without significant scale and investment.

“This strategic partnership between SUNMI and OPP, part of Worldline, brings hardware and software together to make embedded payments more accessible for software platforms across Europe,” said Joachim Goyvaerts, Head of SMB at Worldline.

The joint solution enables SaaS platforms to:

For a third consecutive year, there is no clear choice for the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP, and again the debate over the importance of “valuable” comes into play.

Edmonton’s Connor McDavid is on track to win the scoring race for the most points and the Art Ross Trophy, while Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon has the inside track for the league lead in goals. Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov is more than 40 points clear of his next-closest teammate and could be a Hart finalist for a second consecutive year.

AP Hockey Writers John Wawrow and Stephen Whyno give their predictions on who should take home all the major awards, which are based on how players performed during the regular season:

BetMGM Sportsbook favorite: Nathan MacKinnon, Colorado

Wawrow: Nikita Kucherov. As much as McDavid and MacKinnon deserve consideration, and maybe Montreal's Nick Suzuki merits mention, Kucherov did more with less on a Tampa Bay team that proved immune to the shakeup that turned the Atlantic Division upside down.

Whyno: McDavid. There's an argument to be made for Kucherov, given where the Lightning could be without him after a season full of injuries. But McDavid carried the Oilers down the stretch after Leon Draisaitl got injured, and he should add a fourth MVP honor to his impressive resume that is missing only the Stanley Cup.

BetMGM Sportsbook favorite: Andrei Vasilevskiy, Tampa Bay

Wawrow: Vasilevskiy. The numbers simply speak for themselves. Leading the league with 39 wins, no goalie had a better goals-against average and save percentage playing 50 or more games this season.

Whyno: Vasilevskiy. John and I are on the same wavelength here. With a nod to Utah's Karel Vejmelka for making more than 60 starts, no one has mixed a heavy workload with quality of play like Vasilevskiy, who has made the Cup Final four times, won it twice, but only won the Vezina once (2019).

BetMGM Sportsbook favorite: Zach Werenski, Columbus

Wawrow: Cale Makar, Colorado. A case could be made for Werenski over a ton of talent such as Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin and Minnesota’s Quinn Hughes. Makar, however, stands out for once again being the NHL’s most complete defenseman.

Whyno: Makar. Had Werenski on top for much of the year, but it was a rough second half for the 28-year-old since the Olympic break. Dallas' Miro Heiskanen deserves consideration, but Makar controlled the play for Colorado and only missed a handful of games because of injury.

BetMGM Sportsbook favorite: Matthew Schaefer, New York Islanders (off the board)

Wawrow: Schaefer. Montreal’s Ivan Demidov and Anaheim’s Beckett Sennecke might have more points, but no rookie played more valuable minutes than Schaefer, justifying his selection as a No. 1 pick.

Whyno: Schaefer could be unanimous. Even some of the best defensemen of this generation needed years to adapt to the learning curve at the position, and Schaefer did it perfectly at 18.

BetMGM Sportsbook favorite: N/A

Wawrow: Nick Suzuki, Montreal. With Aleksander Barkov injured, the field was wide open and Suzuki may run away with the honor. Though he is a secondary figure on the Canadiens' penalty kill, his 5-on-5 numbers and puck-possession metrics, while facing opposing top lines, are solid.

Whyno: Jordan Staal, Carolina. The team captain has consistently drawn tough defensive matchups and dominated on faceoffs and has only once been a Selke finalist. This should be his year.

BetMGM Sportsbook favorite: Lindy Ruff, Buffalo

Wawrow: Ruff. He found the elusive key to finally unlock the potential of a team that too often faltered under pressure, carrying over the lessons learned from his first season back in Buffalo. He did so with a game-at-a-time focus, a changing lineup and being Buffalo’s first coach during the team’s 14-season playoff drought to finally place an emphasis on improving locker room culture.

Whyno: Jon Cooper, Tampa Bay. Injuries and extended absences to key players, including Victor Hedman, Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli and Ryan McDonagh, led the Lightning to dress 33 skaters and three goalies and showcased why Cooper is considered among the best in the business.
