Wonder why they didn’t go with Stripe, but with an European competitor? This is great for the European tech scene.

Maybe for tax reasons ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Sandwich ... just because Ayden is based in Holland doesn't mean they bill there. For example Skype bills via Luxembourg.

Adyen is older and it seems to have a larger banking footprint when compared to Stripe. Also, they seem to have a lot of experience in several international markets besides Europe.

Stripe "is"/"was" also European :)

Stripe has never been European, it was always headquartered and operated out of the US.

It'd be like claiming that SpaceX is South African.

And that Amazon is Portuguese...

As far as I can tell, the founders are Irish but the company has always been American.

Ow ok. Perhaps because they where Irish, I remembered it differently
