Adyen Payment Processing Service

Adyen is a prominent global financial technology company headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Founded in 2006 by Pieter van der Does and Arnout Schuijff, the company provides end-to-end payment processing, gateway services, point-of-sale systems, and merchant acquiring solutions for businesses worldwide.

The name 'Adyen' means 'start over again' in Surinamese Sranan Tongo, referencing the founders' previous experience creating Bibit Global Payment Services before launching Adyen. As a software and digital payment infrastructure platform, its operations, technology platforms, and primary server networks are engineered and primarily managed from the Netherlands and international data centres.
