Adyen’s branch license application approved by US Federal Reserve

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) announced the approval of Adyen N.V.’s application to establish a US federal branch license in San Francisco, California.

The opening of the US federal branch is still pending approval by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). 

Upon approval by the OCC, the branch license will allow Adyen to better service its merchants through increased operational scalability and create a stronger stack of capabilities in the payments value chain. This license was a logical next step in Adyen’s strategy to build a single payments platform to service its merchants globally. 

Adyen is currently in the possession of a pan-European banking license, which was granted in 2017.
