Adyen to acquire Talon.One to enable real-time decisioning across commerce channels

AMSTERDAM, April 23, 2026 - Adyen N.V. (AMS: ADYEN) today announces it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Talon.One GmbH, a leading platform for loyalty and incentives serving 300+ global merchants, for a total consideration of €750 million. Adyen will finance the acquisition from available cash resources. Talon.One's co-founders, Christoph Gerber and Sebastian Haas, will reinvest a meaningful portion of their proceeds in newly issued ordinary shares in Adyen, underscoring their long-term commitment to the combined business. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Founded in 2015, Talon.One has become a leading incentives engine for global brands, with meaningful overlap with Adyen’s merchant base. The company is expected to generate approximately €60 million in ARR as of the end of this year, and has been growing 30–40% annually in recent years.

Connecting and activating customer interactions across channels The acquisition addresses a key customer need and builds on Adyen’s Unified Commerce strategy: to not only connect online and in-store shopper interactions, but to act on that insight in real-time. Today, merchants lack a consistent view of their customers across channels, limiting their ability to recognize shoppers and translate that insight into action. By combining Adyen’s global payments infrastructure and proprietary transaction data with Talon.One’s real-time decisioning capabilities, merchants can establish a consistent customer identity across channels and apply it directly in the shopper’s cart. This allows them to dynamically adjust promotions and pricing based on who the consumer is.

Many merchants have attempted to build these capabilities themselves, but struggle to connect and act on data in real time across fragmented systems. This acquisition is a natural next step in Adyen’s long-term investment in Unified Commerce and data products. By linking customer identity directly to SKU-level promotions and incentives within the payment flow, merchants can shape outcomes such as conversion, fraud, and customer lifetime value. It also supports customer retention in real time while improving pricing, inventory allocation, and overall revenue performance.

Improving transaction outcomes and preparing for future commerce models The acquisition expands Adyen’s role from optimizing individual payments to improving the overall economics of transactions. The combined platform also creates distribution opportunities across both Talon.One’s customer base and Adyen’s global merchant network while supporting expansion into underrepresented segments such as everyday retail and domestic commerce.

The acquisition also strengthens Adyen’s position in emerging models such as agentic commerce where transactions are increasingly initiated dynamically and earlier in the checkout flow. By combining customer identity, SKU-level data, and real-time decisioning, Adyen enables merchants to influence what is shown and sold across channels, even when decisions are made without direct user interaction. Over time, this allows merchants to extend relevant products and offers into new commerce models without requiring separate integrations, reinforcing Adyen’s role as a unified layer across channels. “Our merchants ask us every day how they can better connect their online and in-store customer data and act on that in real time,” said Ingo Uytdehaage, Co-CEO of Adyen. “Many have tried to build a solution themselves but struggle to turn insights into action. With Talon.One, a merchant can recognize a shopper and apply a relevant offer instantly, before the payment is completed, ultimately driving higher revenue.”

“Joining Adyen allows us to embed real-time decisioning at the core of every transaction,” said Christoph Gerber and Sebastian Haas, Talon.One’s co-founders. “Together, we enable merchants to connect customer identity with pricing and promotions in real time, in-store and online, driving better outcomes for our customers.”

Q1 2026 Update Adyen will release its Q1 Business Update on May 6, 2026, which will report net revenue growth of 20% on a constant currency basis compared to last year, reaching €620.8 million in the period. Adyen reiterates its previously announced financial objectives, which remain unchanged and are stated independently of the proposed acquisition of Talon.One.

Adyen will broadcast a live call hosted by Ingo Uytdehaage (Co-CEO) and Ethan Tandowsky (CFO) to discuss this announcement at 7pm CEST today. You can follow the livestream at investors.adyen.com/events. A recording will be made available on our investor relations website following the call.

De Brauw Blackstrone Westbroek N.V and Hengeler Mueller served as legal counsel. KPMG Advisory N.V. served as the financial due diligence advisor, while Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE acted as financial advisor to Adyen in connection with the transaction.
