The collaboration expands same-day settlements to small merchants in Europe and the UK.
It aims to provide near-instant access to funds, reducing large working capital reserves.
Adyen, the financial technology platform, and SumUp, a
global fintech company for small merchants, have announced a strategic
partnership. This collaboration aims to offer an enhanced payment experience
and faster settlements for millions of small businesses worldwide.
The partnership enables SumUp to expand its near-instant
settlement services to millions of small and micro merchants across Europe and
the UK. This will provide these businesses with quicker access to their funds,
giving them better control over their finances.
Same-Day Payment Settlements for SMEs
By working with Adyen, SumUp will offer its users
industry-leading same-day settlements, available seven days a week, throughout
the year. This means that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will
receive their funds within minutes after a sale, instead of waiting for days.

This initiative addresses critical cash flow needs and reduces the necessity
for large working capital reserves. A survey indicated that 79% of SME platform
users highly value faster access to funds and have expressed a demand for same-day
payouts.
The partnership combines the expertise of two global fintech
companies. Adyen’s single platform consolidates payment services, streamlining
processes such as pay-ins, reporting, and payouts in real-time. This reduces
transit times and enhances financial flexibility.
SumUp offers a comprehensive
platform of business tools and financial services for SMEs. Its product suite
includes in-person and remote payment acceptance, card terminals, point-of-sale
registers, a free business account and card, online store hosting, and
invoicing tools.
“This partnership is one of a kind as we join forces as
major payments players to give SMEs the ability to settle at incredible
speeds,” commented Alexa von Bismarck, President EMEA at Adyen. “Cash flow is
of the utmost importance for small business owners, and we are proud of being
selected by SumUp as their partner on this mission.”

SumUp has experienced growth by entering new markets and
launching new product categories and services. It currently serves over 4
million merchants in 36 markets globally.
The collaboration with Adyen aims to
set a new standard for resilient and future-proof market expansion, building on
their existing successful partnership in Australia.
“This partnership will allow us to keep pushing boundaries
and continue providing our merchants with the best solutions to manage their
business, be it payments, software or financial services. We are excited to
amplify our ecosystem of tools and services for small, medium and even
enterprise merchants,” said Marc-Alexander Christ, Co-Founder and COO at SumUp.

Executive Interview | Charlotte Bullock | Chief Product Officer, Bank of London | FMLS:25
In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
