From FinTech Innovator to Bank-ish FinTech Pioneer

FinTech's are all about revolutionizing how we interact financially streamlining processes, enhancing efficiency, and injecting innovation into traditional financial systems. But what if I told you there's a story of a company that started as a card acquiring FinTech in Amsterdam in 2006, signed Groupon (yes, that Groupon) within three years, and then decided, 'You know what? Being a FinTech is innovative, but becoming a 'Bankish FinTech'? That's truly groundbreaking!' They didn't just understand customer needs; they practically anticipated them, identified critical pain points (like payments moving at the speed of dial-up internet), and thought, 'We can revolutionize this... and perhaps secure a banking license along the way!' From their strategic move to obtain a European acquiring license in 2012 to successfully acquiring a US foreign bank license in 2021, Adyens's journey is less about traditional banking and more about pioneering disruption with a masterclass in regulatory navigation.
