Beyond core payment acceptance, Adyen offers embedded finance products such as card issuing and business accounts, along with risk management and fraud prevention tools built on its transaction data. It holds banking licenses in multiple regions and serves large, well-known enterprise customers across retail, travel, and digital media.
