Adyen and UNICEF Forge Global Partnership to Drive Rapid Fundraising for Children in Need

(IN BRIEF) Adyen, a leading financial technology company, and UNICEF have joined forces in a global partnership aimed at supporting children worldwide through innovative fundraising initiatives. Leveraging Adyen’s advanced financial technology, the partnership seeks to streamline fundraising efforts, enabling businesses to activate ‘Giving’—Adyen’s donations product—within 48 hours to support UNICEF’s emergency response and key programs. With Adyen matching donations made through ‘Giving’ for the first three months of a campaign, the partnership aims to accelerate progress towards advancing the Sustainable Development Goals and improving the lives of children globally.

(PRESS RELEASE) AMSTERDAM, 11-Apr-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Adyen, a global financial technology company, and UNICEF, announced today the launch of a global partnership, in pursuit of a shared, innovative vision to shape brighter futures for children worldwide.

Rooted in a commitment to advance the Sustainable Development Goals, the partnership utilizes Ayden’s leading financial technology to provide a seamless way to generate funds at scale and accelerate progress for children everywhere.

“Innovation, speed, and scale are three core principles that we live by at Adyen. By enabling our merchants and their consumers to seamlessly support UNICEF’s mission, we have a unique opportunity to drive significant progress for children worldwide,” said Ethan Tandowsky, Chief Financial Officer at Adyen. “This partnership underscores our fundamental belief in making good decisions not only for our customers and our business, but also for the world at large.”

Championing children’s futures through the power of giving
Adyen’s ‘Giving’ product enables businesses to easily integrate donations into their payment flows; this innovation simplifies the traditionally complex process of activating digital consumers. With this approach, and by leveraging their combined strengths, Adyen and UNICEF are dedicated to making a meaningful difference to the lives of children around the world. To encourage new businesses to activate donations at checkout, Adyen will match donations made via ‘Giving’ for the first three months of a new campaign.

“Support from our partners, like Adyen, helps us to respond to the increasing number of crises that threaten children’s lives. Adyen’s innovative technology capabilities will help ensure faster and easier payments, allowing UNICEF to swiftly provide lifesaving help to children and their families, when and where it matters the most,” said UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Kitty van der Heijden.
