Global Takeover: Adyen and Globant Pair for Payments

The landscape of digital finance is shifting towards more integrated, frictionless ecosystems. In a move to bolster this transition, Globant, the NYSE-listed digital services giant, has announced a new formal partnership with global financial technology platform Adyen.

The collaboration marks a significant evolution in the relationship between the two firms. While Globant previously supported Adyen integrations on a project-by-project basis, this new agreement establishes Globant as a strategic integration partner.

The focus is now on helping clients accelerate onboarding, modernise payment stacks and navigate the complexities of cross-border commerce.

Enhancing merchant agility

For enterprise merchants in sectors like retail, hospitality and financial services, the speed of technical deployment often dictates the pace of revenue generation. This partnership aims to remove traditional bottlenecks by providing a structured framework for new payment implementations and geographic expansions.

By leveraging a shared services model, the two companies intend to support continuous innovation, ensuring that merchants have ongoing access to product upgrades without the friction typically associated with legacy system overhauls.

Nicolás Kaplun, CEO of the Financial Services AI Studio at Globant notes: “Many merchants face challenges around speed to delivery, system modernisation and scaling their payment infrastructure. 

“By combining Adyen's robust global payments platform with Globant's deep expertise in digital transformation and systems integration, we are helping our clients move faster, from implementation to revenue generation.”

Driving global scale

As businesses look beyond domestic borders, the technical debt of fragmented payment systems often hinders growth. Adyen’s single platform approach – covering gateway, risk management and acquiring – is designed to simplify this process.

However, the implementation of such sophisticated technology at an enterprise level requires deep technical oversight to ensure it meshes with existing ERP and CRM systems.

The core of Globant's collaboration with Adyen will be the Financial Services AI Studio. This Studio leverages deep payments knowledge, AI-powered platforms, and industry-focused accelerators to assist financial institutions in modernising and expanding their digital capabilities. 

Through the Studio, Globant empowers clients to streamline their payment ecosystems, improve transaction intelligence, and provide secure, smooth commerce experiences worldwide.

The synergy between Globant’s integration capabilities and Adyen’s platform is designed to bridge this gap, allowing businesses to modernise their infrastructure while maintaining operational stability.

Nadia Qureshi, VP, Global Head of Commercial Partnerships at Adyen, highlights the importance of having a verified partner to navigate these transitions: “Our partnership with Globant allows merchants to leverage a trusted integration partner to fully unlock the value of Adyen's platform.

“Together, we can help businesses modernise their payments infrastructure more efficiently and scale with confidence."

A foundation of shared expertise

The decision to formalise the partnership was driven by both organisations' existing footprints in the enterprise space. With Globant’s history of managing complex digital ecosystems for media, sports and entertainment brands, the alignment with Adyen’s end-to-end technology solution was a natural progression.

The collaboration is specifically tailored to organisations where embedded financial services and scalable infrastructure are critical components of a growth strategy. By moving away from ad-hoc projects towards a strategic alliance, both firms are positioning themselves to manage the entire lifecycle of a merchant’s payment journey.
