After banking services, Amsterdam’s fintech unicorn Adyen launches Payout Services

Amsterdam-based fintech unicorn Adyen announced the launch of Payout Services on Thursday. 

“We see this as an opportunity to provide a market-leading solution that supports real-time payouts,” says Roelant Prins CCO, Adyen.

The announcement comes a few months after launching two new embedded financial products,  Capital and Accounts, for platform and marketplaces businesses in the US and Europe through its’s single integration.

Benefits of Payout Services

Payout Services enables Adyen’s customers to payout acquired funds in the preferred method of their affiliated users or partners with increased velocity. 

By eliminating unnecessary delays and third parties from the funds’ movement process, Adyen can free up millions in daily cash flow for customers, enabling greater operational efficiency and accelerating businesses’ pursuit of their goals.

Adyen’s capability to do this stems from its branch and banking licenses, and direct connection to real-time banking and card schemes.

With a single API, Adyen customers can payout globally to their user base such as gig economy workers and marketplace sellers, improving the platform experience with faster access to cash. 

Payout Services empower customers to access more of their funds, enabling them to earn interest, invest in research and development for future growth, and reduce their reliance on external financing. 

For platform end users, payouts via real-time banking and card schemes offer the advantage of quicker access to their hard-earned funds.
