Globant and Adyen Establish Global Partnership to Accelerate Merchant Payment Integrations and Time to Revenue

WHY THIS MATTERS: The future of commerce lies in services being invisibly woven into the user experience, but for large, global merchants, integrating complex payment systems remains a significant operational friction point. This new, formalized alliance between Globant’s integration expertise and Adyen’s robust global platform is a direct response to this challenge. It accelerates the trend of embedded finance adoption by promising enterprise clients not just cutting-edge functionality, but drastically reduced time-to-market. For sectors like retail and hospitality, speed equals revenue, and an external integration specialist alleviates the internal burden of large-scale digital transformation. The news signals that payments infrastructure providers are recognizing the critical need for a dedicated service layer to handle the complexity cliff, ensuring that sophisticated financial capabilities can be deployed and scaled confidently across numerous international markets.

Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company that helps organizations thrive in a digital and AI-powered future,  announced a new partnership with Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses. Through this partnership, Globant will serve as a strategic integration partner for Adyen, helping clients accelerate onboarding, streamline payment system integrations, and expand their payment capabilities across global markets.

Previously, Globant supported Adyen integrations on a project-by-project basis. This partnership formalizes that role and expands it across product upgrades, new payment implementations, and geographic expansions.

Merchant Benefits

Through the partnership, merchants can expect:

• Faster payment system integrations

• Shorter time to revenue

• Streamlined global payment expansion

• Ongoing access to product upgrades

• A shared services model designed to support continuous innovation

The partnership is particularly relevant for retail, financial services, media and entertainment, sports, and hospitality organizations, where scalable, seamless payment infrastructure and embedded financial services are critical to growth.

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

“Our partnership with Globant allows merchants to leverage a trusted integration partner to fully unlock the value of Adyen’s platform,” said Nadia Qureshi VP, Global Head of Commercial Partnerships at Adyen. “Together, we can help businesses modernize their payments infrastructure more efficiently and scale with confidence.”

The collaboration was motivated by Globant and Adyen’s shared strategic positioning as enterprise-focused organizations with strong global footprints, each committed to accelerating cross-border commerce through sophisticated integrations and scalable, end-to-end technology solutions. Globant’s prior experience supporting Adyen-related implementations for enterprise clients established a strong foundation for the partnership.

Globant’s partnership with Adyen will be primarily anchored within its Financial Services AI Studio, which brings together deep payments expertise, AI-driven platforms, and industry-specific accelerators to help financial institutions modernize and scale their digital capabilities. Through this Studio, Globant enables clients to optimize payment ecosystems, enhance transaction intelligence, and deliver secure, seamless commerce experiences across global markets.

This move absolutely shifts the expectation of implementation speed. The next key indicator will be which other major integrators and payment processors follow suit, suggesting this partnership-as-a-service model is the future standard for digital transformation.
