Adyen is a global payment company that allows businesses to accept e-commerce, mobile, and point-of-sale payments. Adyen has more than 3,500 customers and is listed on the stock exchange Euronext.
Adyen offers merchants online services for accepting electronic payments by payment methods including credit cards, bank based payments such as debit cards, bank transfer, and real-time bank transfers based on online banking. Adyen’s online payment platform connects to payment methods across the world. Payment methods include international credit cards, local cash-based methods, such as Boleto in Brazil, and Internet banking methods, such as iDEAL in the Netherlands. The technology platform acts as a payment gateway, payment service provider and offers risk management and local acquiring.
The announcement from the European fintech giant comes as a surprise to many as Adyen once allowed its clients to accept bitcoin as a payment option but has now revealed they longer support the cryptocurrency.
U.S. and China have had a good year for stock market debuts where share listings came from big tech names like Palantir and Ant Group. However, this is not the case for Europe.
MacDonald’s will use the Adyen platform to receive and process payments made in its mobile app. The UK will be the first country with this initiative implemented.
