The Digital Payment Giant That Adds Up

“Digital payment providers have been among the pandemic’s biggest winners . For Adyen , an Amsterdam-listed company that supplies white-labeled services to the likes of Uber, eBay and Spotify, prospects look undiminished even as the world reopens.

But the company serves a range of sectors and soon regained its stride as more spending moved online. Its share price has roughly quadrupled over the past two years, making it one of Europe’s largest technology companies with a market value of around €82 billion, which is equivalent to $96.31 billion.”
