What are the main news, trends and innovations in your market or sector?

The retail sector is constantly being transformed by innovations that are redefining consumer behaviour and retailers' expectations. The world of fintech, meanwhile, is seeing major advances that are reinventing payment experiences. At Adyen, we place these innovations at the heart of our approach to offer solutions that are increasingly adapted to the needs of our merchant partners.
Among our recent innovations, we are delighted to present the Tap-To-Pay solution on Android, deployed with Etam as a pilot merchant and enabling simple and secure contactless payment directly via Android mobile devices. We have also deployed Tap to Pay on iPhone with Tax free integrated with our partner Global Blue, which is a world first. These innovative technologies improve the flexibility of transactions and meet the mobility and speed needs of retailers and consumers alike.
Our Pay by Bank solution, now available in France, also represents a secure and direct payment alternative by bank transfer, in response to growing demand for more transparent and economical payment methods. This solution offers a seamless user experience while optimising the costs associated with traditional card transactions.
Our new anti-fraud tool marks a transition towards the use of machine learning to secure transactions. This approach allows merchants to tailor risk management to their specific needs, reinforcing our commitment to using the most advanced technologies to ensure payment security.
At Adyen, we are constantly adapting our payment technologies to the evolving nature of commerce and changing consumer expectations, in order to remain at the forefront of innovation.
