Uber, Adyen renew, expand global partnership

Adyen and Uber (UBER) announced the renewal and expansion of their global partnership. Building on more than a decade of successful collaboration first starting in 2012, Adyen continues to serve as a key payments engine supporting Uber’s global footprint, which now spans over 70 countries across six continents. The expanded partnership reflects Uber’s growing use of Adyen’s global payments platform to enhance performance and offer more alternative payment methods, to support Uber’s continued international growth. Notable new territories where Uber is leveraging Adyen’s services are United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and the Caribbean, along with the expansion of local acquiring in key regions like Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australia, and the adoption of high-growth local payment methods such as Pix in Brazil, AfterPay in Australia and WeChat Pay globally to serve travelers ordering Uber through the WeChat mini app. Looking ahead, Uber and Adyen will continue to partner on payment innovation, which includes new payment method integrations and support for new business lines such as Uber kiosks in airports, hotels, and venues globally.
