“Merchants around the world turn to Adyen for a simpler, more powerful payments platform. We are highly focused on transforming the online and in-store payment experience. Our robust growth points to the strength of our unified commerce solution,” said Pieter van der Does, co-founder and CEO of Adyen.

Adyen expands across Singapore, New Zealand, and Canada

Adyen is also known as ‘Braintree‘ of Europe (an independent payment processing company bought by e-Bay in 2013). One of Adyen’s key features that made it attractive to millions of merchants across Europe and North America is its ability to process all payment orders whether they take place in-store, on a mobile device, or at e-commerce channels.

The company which is planning an IPO (Initial Public Offering) in late summer this year at a valuation of € 6-9 billion ($7-$11 billion) has aggressively expanded from Singapore and New Zealand to Canada.

The team behind Adyen and more speculations

Adyen was founded by payments industry veterans Pieter van der Does and Arnout Schuijff as both served stints at Bibit, a highly successful international payment service provider later acquired by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

With Adyen’s fast ascent as a global payments provider, some experts speculate that it might be a lucrative acquisition opportunity for PayPal, though the latter is a customer of Adyen as the Dutch company runs eBay’s payment system.
