Adyen

Adyen is a financial technology platform founded in 2006 and headquartered in Amsterdam, where it processed its first payments. The company was built from the ground up to handle the complexity of modern global commerce, allowing leading businesses to accept payments, manage their data and offer financial products through a single system. All engineering is done in-house, with an emphasis on building one unified platform that works at scale rather than relying on workarounds.

The platform comprises three main parts: a unified payments offering that handles global acceptance, data management capabilities for payment and commerce data, and financial products that enable businesses to move money globally. Annual processed volume stands at €970.1 billion, and the platform reports uptime of 99.999%. The stated operating principles are a long-term focus and getting the fundamentals right.

Adyen employs over 4,000 people drawn from more than 115 nationalities, working across 28 offices worldwide. The technical domains span payment technology, global payments infrastructure, financial products infrastructure and the underlying platform engineering. The company operates in the payments, financial technology, global commerce and e-commerce sectors.
