Uber and Adyen Deepen Global Ties with New Market Expansion and Physical Kiosk Launch

By Ali Paterson · 17 March 2026

Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, and Uber (NYSE: UBER), the world’s leading mobility and delivery platform, today announced the renewal and expansion of their global partnership. Building on more than a decade of successful collaboration first starting in 2012, Adyen continues to serve as a key payments engine supporting Uber's global footprint, which now spans over 70 countries across six continents.

The expanded partnership reflects Uber’s growing use of Adyen’s global payments platform to enhance performance and offer more alternative payment methods, to support Uber’s continued international growth. Notable new territories where Uber is leveraging Adyen’s services are United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and the Caribbean, along with the expansion of local acquiring in key regions like Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australia, and the adoption of high-growth local payment methods such as Pix in Brazil, AfterPay in Australia and WeChat Pay globally to serve travellers ordering Uber through the WeChat mini app.

Looking ahead, Uber and Adyen will continue to partner on payment innovation, which includes new payment method integrations and support for new business lines such as Uber kiosks in airports, hotels, and venues globally.

Uber has launched kiosks, powered by Adyen terminals, providing a new, phone-free way to book an Uber—perfect for international visitors arriving without a local data plan. Uber kiosk gives travelers a simple way to request a ride, even if they don’t have the Uber app. Simply walk up to the kiosk, enter your destination, then select your ride type. The kiosk prints a paper receipt with your trip details, making the experience as straightforward as possible. The first kiosk debuted at LaGuardia Airport (LGA) Terminal C, with additional rollouts planned for hotels, ports, & international airports in the coming months.
