Our story
Adyen was founded in 2006 by a group of entrepreneurs, including Pieter van der Does and Arnout Schuijff. The existing payments technology consisted of a patchwork of systems built on outdated infrastructure. With the aim of helping businesses grow, the co-founders set out to build a platform capable of meeting the rapidly evolving needs of today's fast-growing global businesses.
Company milestones
Adyen Formula
The way we work is guided by the eight principles of the Adyen Formula.
We build to benefit all customers (not just one)
We make good choices to build an ethical business and drive sustainable growth for our customers
We launch fast and iterate
Winning is more important than ego; we work as a team - across cultures and time zones
We don’t hide behind email, instead we pick up the phone
We talk straight without being rude
We include different people to sharpen our ideas
We create our own path and won’t be slowed down by “stewards”
