Adyen (AMS: ADYEN), the global payments platform of choice for many of the world's leading companies, announced the addition of Interac Debit on Mobile for In-app and In-browser as a payment method for Canadian merchants.

In addition, Adyen will be expanding its partnership with foodora Canada, an on-demand food-delivery service.

"Expanding our partnership with Adyen and enabling Interac Debit transactions to grow our payment method options for our customers is a natural fit."
