Having great competition around us makes our products better but I think most important is that we keep listening to our customers and if you look at our share of wallet growth with our existing customers that's still the most important part of our growth.”

About Ingo Uytdehaage
At Adyen’s 2026 Annual General Meeting, Uytdehaage noted that all board proposals, including executive reappointments, were adopted with the required majority. He stated that the company remains in a “high growth mode” and reiterated its 2026 guidance on revenue, EBITDA, and capex. He explained that the company switched to single-year guidance after investor feedback that multi-year guidance did not provide clarity. Uytdehaage also described the acquisition of Talon One as an investment made possible by the company’s balance sheet strength. During Adyen’s 2025 Investor Day, Uytdehaage said the company is building on “durable foundations” to address challenges from AI-driven fraud, regulation, and merchant demand for flexibility. He argued that the industry’s approach to risk is “broken” and that Adyen’s “dynamic identification” system represents a new solution. He stated that the company plans to invest primarily in its team, which accounts for about 75% of operating costs, and that Adyen is on a path to become “one of the biggest fintech players in the world.”
