Fintech company Adyen and Uber continue to expand their decade-long global partnership.
The partnership has grown as Uber expands globally, and now spans over 70 countries across six continents.
Notable new territories where Uber is leveraging Adyen’s services are the UAE, Hong Kong, and the Caribbean, along with the expansion of local acquiring in key regions like Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australia.
It has also led to the adoption of local payment methods such as Pix in Brazil, AfterPay in Australia and WeChat Pay globally to serve travelers ordering Uber through the WeChat mini app.
Uber and Adyen will continue to partner on new business lines such as Uber kiosks in airports, hotels, and venues.
“The expansion of our partnership with Uber underscores a shared commitment to achieving global scale together, which has continued for well over a decade,” said Trevor Nies, SVP Global Head of Digital at Adyen.
Uber has launched kiosks, powered by Adyen terminals, providing a new, phone-free way to book an Uber which is perfect for international visitors arriving without a local data plan.
Uber kiosk gives travelers a simple way to request a ride, even if they don’t have the Uber app.
It enables arriving travelers to enter a destination, then select the ride type.
The kiosk prints a paper receipt with the trip details, making the experience quick and efficient.
The first kiosk debuted at LaGuardia Airport Terminal C, with additional rollouts planned for hotels, ports, and more international airports in the coming months.
