[3] Adyen offers merchants online services to accept electronic payments using payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, and real-time bank transfers based on online banking.

[7] In 2012, Adyen started to expand globally, opening its offices in San Francisco, Paris, and London.

[15] In the same year, it launched Adyen Issuing, a virtual and physical card-issuing business to complement payments services to merchants.

[16] In 2020, the company benefited from an accelerated digitalization of global ecommerce in the online retail segment, which compensated for the declining travel volumes in enterprises due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[8] On January 31, 2018, eBay announced that it had signed an agreement with Adyen to become its primary payments processing partner.

eBay began intermediation on a small scale in North America starting in the second half of 2018, expanding in 2019 under the terms of the operating agreement with PayPal.
