I have heard of it as it's a Dutch company and I am Dutch. They are doing really well in the sense of having many payment methods, as in Europe every country prefers a different method. The CEO has a lot of experience in payment integrations and financial transactions, even before starting Adyen. Furthermore, in the Netherlands they are also rolling out payment machines that are cheap and support many payment options (also think about Apple Pay etc).
- cyberferret 9y agoCool. As a native Dutch, perhaps you can shed some light. I saw on the video that the pronunciation of the name is more like "Ardee-yun". Is that correct? Also, is it a Dutch word? If so, I'm interested in learning what it means (if anything).
- _susanoo 9y agoAdyen doesn't mean anything in Dutch. We, or atleast I as a native Dutch person, pronounce it AD (as in Latin ad) - YEN (as in the Japanese currency).
- Alexandervn 9y agoFrom their about page, it's 'Surinamese for “Start over again”'. It seems to be pronounced as "Ah-dee-yen".
- Fnoord 9y agoThank you for that explanation! To me it sounded very much like Limburgs dialect (specifically Kerkraads dialect) "adieë wa" (only first part, but sometimes the second part is omitted anyway) [1] English Wikipedia also has an entry for the company Adyen, btw [2].
