The token strategy built for modern commerce

Adyen’s universal token vault stores details once, then lets you use them everywhere.

Own your token strategy

Store credentials once in a secure vault to take control of your payments. Route transactions across providers to optimize performance and avoid vendor lock-in.

Increase revenue with intelligent tokens

Improve authorization rates and recover lost revenue with automatically refreshed credentials powered by Adyen's network intelligence, reducing involuntary churn and unnecessary scheme costs.

Prepare for the next era of commerce

Keep customer payment data secure and stay ready for what’s next. From in-person to online to agentic, create a foundation for future business needs.

One token infrastructure. Multiple ways to grow.

Adyen’s modular infrastructure lets you securely manage card data and optimize performance across your entire ecosystem.

Agentic commerce readiness Participate in agentic commerce without losing the customer relationship. Tokenize works across emerging agentic commerce protocols, helping you transact through new AI channels while retaining customer identity, data, and control.

"One of the great things about working with Adyen is that technologically advanced services like network tokens are offered at a much earlier phase… From an optimization perspective, network tokens have improved our authorization rates and saved us money."
