This is Adyen

Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition. 

For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.

Billing

The focus of our Platform and Financial Services team is on building a single platform for embedded payments, finance, onboarding and compliance. The team’s ambition is to fill the gap in the market by providing platforms and marketplaces with financial products such as capital, as well as issuing of cards and bank accounts. Thanks to these solutions, Adyen is not limited to being a payments processor, but an entrenched partner for our merchants. 

When you think of billing, it might seem as simple as sending out invoices and telling customers how much to pay. However, as we operate in a complex business, this process is also more complex than it first sounds. As we aim to simplify these complexities for our customers, billing is no exception and is, in fact, a critical part of our business operations, directly impacting our revenue and cash flow.

If we want to reach our 10X ambition, we should be able to handle growth in both the number of customers, and the volumes they are transacting with us. Billing needs to address both of these directions of growth, which could mean we in fact need to scale 100x in this area. 

Whilst billing is part of our Platforms & Financial Services solution, the team supports billing across Adyen's entire business offering.
