AMSTERDAM, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

--Etsy is the first company to leverage Adyen's Giving round-up feature, 
allowing customers to round-up their totals to donate.

Adyen (AMS: ADYEN), the global financial technology platform of choice for 
leading businesses, and Etsy, which operates two-sided online marketplaces that 
connect millions of passionate and creative buyers and sellers around the 
world, announced today that Adyen has enabled ten million Etsy buyer donations 
to the Uplift Fund, administered by the Brooklyn Community Foundation.

Etsy launched the Uplift Fund with the Brooklyn Community Foundation in 
February of 2021 to give its buyers an opportunity to join them in supporting 
creators who face barriers to building successful businesses. When US shoppers 
check out on Etsy, they have the option to round up their purchase price and 
donate to the Fund via Adyen.

"Adyen's solution has enabled us to seamlessly engage the Etsy community in 
supporting our Uplift Fund," said Morgan Blake, VP of Payments at Etsy. "It's 
been amazing to see how a small change in checkout can have such a major 
impact, especially as the past few years have highlighted the gap in resources 
available to many communities who are eager to use their entrepreneurial 
talents.

"Partnerships like this one with Etsy and Adyen encourage and simplify the 
process for people to give to charitable causes. That's what we're seeing here, 
with the remarkable milestone of reaching 10M buyers," said Jocelynne Rainey, 
President and CEO, Brooklyn Community Foundation. "We are thrilled to host 
Etsy's donor advised Uplift Fund to support nonprofits nationwide that work to 
dismantle barriers to building a successful small business."

"We've seen great traction with Giving and we are thrilled to reach this 
milestone with Etsy," said Ingo Uytdehaage, CFO at Adyen. "Etsy has been a key 
partner in building out our Giving solution, including the round-up feature. By 
combining strengths with Adyen's technology and Etsy's two-sided marketplace, 
we were able to come together to find a solution that drives impact, in line 
with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. We can't wait to see what else we 
accomplish together."

Giving is a product that enables Adyen's merchants to accept charitable 
donations during the online and in-store checkout process, and allows them to 
strengthen their bond with their shoppers by providing a platform for their 
preferred charitable causes. By doing so, Giving converts shoppers' good 
intentions into additional revenue streams for charitable causes. With a single 
tap on a point-of-sale terminal or the click of a button at an online checkout, 
shoppers can donate to the merchants' charity of choice. Giving transactions 
seamlessly integrate into existing checkout processes across all payment 
channels, and shoppers' donations are reported and settled to the charity of 
choice directly without impacting the merchants' existing reconciliation flow.
