In Time For The Holiday Shopping Season, Adyen Now Offers China’s  Three Largest Payment Providers on Point-of-Sale Terminals Worldwide

AMSTERDAM (Dec. 6, 2017) – Adyen, the payments platform of choice for the world’s leading companies, today rolled out WeChat Pay, one of the most popular mobile payment apps in China, allowing Adyen merchants to offer WeChat Pay on their point-of-sale terminals worldwide.

This is expected to equate to $85.76 billion in 2017.
