Adyen's biggest growth driver is improving demand from existing clients and its ability to expand services for them, finance chief Ethan Tandowsky told Reuters in an interview. Adyen has a single-digit percent market share in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region and North America, leaving it ample room to grow there, it said.

Its half-year core profit rose 32 per cent to 423.1 million euros , beating the average estimate of 413.39 million from 13 analysts polled by LSEG.
