Adyen enables Interac Debit for Canadian clients

Global payments platform Adyen has announced it will incorporate interbank network Interac Debit on mobile as a payment method in-app or in-browser for Canadian merchants.

The move is to provide as much flexibility as possible with multiple payment method options to choose from across all channels.

“Part of our core value lies in our speed to market and the ability to provide local payment offerings on a global scale,” explained Adyen President of North America, Kamran Zaki

Furthermore, this allows the company to accept Interac Debit payments through digital wallets, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. 

Nader Henin, AVP Retail Payments, Interac Corp stated: “We’re excited to collaborate with Adyen, a nimble payment service provider that has a strong track record of bringing brands to market quickly,” 

“Already recognised as a global payments leader, we are pleased to support Adyen’s expansion into the Canadian market with foodora, allowing Canadians to pay when they want, how they want and stay in control of their money, using Interac Debit as their payment of choice.”

Adyen launched in Canada in 2018 with the aim to provide full-scale unified commerce capabilities to domestic and global businesses with customers in Canada

The company also disclosed it will be expanding its partnership with on-demand food-delivery service foodora Canada.

“Our priority is to continually enhance the foodora user experience by offering greater convenience and increased accessibility,” said David Albert, managing director, foodora Canada. 

“Expanding our partnership with Adyen and enabling Interac Debit transactions to grow our payment method options for our customers is a natural fit.”

Zaki commented on the extension: “We are excited to continue to work with foodora as they introduce new payment offerings, which will ultimately enhance their customers’ buying experience.”
