Adyen is matching all donations processed by the Adyen Giving product in 2025.
Adyen set 2030 fundraising goal for Giving of more than €100 million (approx. 108 million USD).

AMSTERDAM and SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Adyen, the financial technology platform of choice for leading companies, today announced that its Giving product has generated more than $25 million in donations, with brands around the world using the solution to let their customers support causes directly at checkout. Since its launch in 2020, shoppers globally have contributed via their favourite brands through 35 million individual micro-transactions. To mark this important milestone, Adyen is matching all donations made through Giving through 2025.

From complexity to scalable opportunities
Before Giving launched in 2020, brands struggled with fragmented donation solutions, requiring separate contracts for each charity and facing complex integration and administrative challenges. Adyen’s Giving product solved this by keeping donations separate from the merchant’s money flow and by streamlining integration. Plus, through Adyen’s 1% fund, all related fees are covered, ensuring that the full donation amount goes directly to the supported causes.

“We turned checkout into a purpose-driven touchpoint,” explains Dominique Simons, Adyen’s Head of Impact. “By embedding donations directly into our payment infrastructure, we remove operational barriers so brands can focus on driving impact, while giving their customers a simple way to support the causes they care about.”

The solution now serves 150+ brands across 30 markets including Guess, Patagonia, Funko and L’Occitane, channeling funds to causes that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals through their nonprofit partner(s) of choice.

Partnerships driving change
The platform uniquely allows brands to align donations with their customers’ values year-round while also having the flexibility to activate rapid fundraising within 24 hours of disasters; connecting with new causes at checkout or adding an additional layer of support to an existing brand-nonprofit partnership.

Funds raised through the Giving platform have contributed to providing clean water, education, and healthcare to children in need; aid to those suffering from both man-made and natural disasters; cancer awareness and environmental programs among many other causes supported by hundreds of non-profits including WWF, Americares, UNICEF, Make-A-Wish and more.

Doubling the impact
Matching has been strategically used to increase the impact at checkout, especially during emergencies. Many brands have launched a Giving program tied to an urgent campaign and have successfully expanded their programs.

“The Point-of-Sale Donation program has empowered our customers in North America to join us in raising dollars for women’s mental health. The product has created a direct and meaningful way for our community to contribute to the Global Fund for Women’s Mental Health, turning awareness into action with a very simplified process. Together we can make progress forward on bringing more scalable solutions to the women and girls’ mental health crisis,” said Taryn Bird, Executive Director, Social Impact, Kate Spade New York

The funds realized by donation matching is significant, and to celebrate the $25M milestone, Adyen will match all donations made through Giving for every merchant throughout 2025. This commitment is both to encourage more brands to adopt the product and to reward Giving’s early adopters that have helped to co-create the product so far. “Giving has allowed us to swiftly and effectively raise funds for emergency relief campaigns in collaboration with our global nonprofit partners, as well as other important causes. The speed and scale of the product have empowered millions of our customers across 25 markets to make meaningful contributions, driving impactful support for both our global and local nonprofit partners,” said Alexander Weissflog, Social Sustainability, Community Development Lead at H&M.

Looking ahead
Adyen remains committed to expanding the reach of Giving by advocating for more businesses to integrate donations at checkout, both in-store and digitally. Adyen’s Impact team indicated its goal for 2030 is to process more than€100 million (≈108 million USD) in donations.

“When we looked at where we could drive the most impact in 2020, we knew we could do more than cut a check,” notes Adyen co-CEO, Pieter van der Does. “We had the ability to crack donations at checkout the same way we had payments: to change the industry the way we changed the payments industry. We had people who were willing, partners that were inspired and customers that could make the difference. Fast forward to now, it feels like we’re still just at the beginning of our journey. The road to €100M starts today.”

Air and Fathom5 Partner to Modernize Naval Fleet Readiness

Published

July 20, 2026

ARLINGTON, Va. and AUSTIN, Texas, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Air, the leader in Enterprise Readiness, and Fathom5, a technology company dedicated to secure infrastructure for AI-powered machines, today announced a strategic partnership to transform the U.S. Navy’s maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities.

The collaboration follows Fathom5’s selection as a winner in the Defense Innovation Unit’s NextMRO Prize Challenge Phase III, which aims to replace antiquated, siloed logistics frameworks with integrated, data-driven software. Fathom5 won based on its ability to transform real-world Navy data into intuitive, sailor-facing applications at the tactical edge.

To scale this solution for enterprise-wide Navy procurement, Fathom5 and Air are uniting Fathom5’s industry-leading, warship-deployed Condition-Based Maintenance AI with Air’s Enterprise Readiness platform. Air’s platform is purpose-built to close the “Readiness Gap”—the dangerous chasm between what the front line needs and what the enterprise delivers. It fuses predictive analytics, supply chain visibility, and repair cycle forecasting into a unified system that operates across Organizational, Intermediate, and Depot maintenance.

Together, the companies will address the Navy’s most critical sustainment vulnerabilities with the ability to:

Eliminate data silos and provide a single, authoritative source of truth.Use natural language to query technical manuals, analyze parts availability, proactively forecast issues, and identify alternative vendors in seconds, andAllow forward-deployed Sailors to execute work orders offline in Degraded, Denied, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) environments.

Proven Defense Impact

Air brings a successful track record of optimization across the Department of War. In recent sustainment operations, Air delivered a 99.6% reduction in part identification time, identifying replacement parts and suitable substitutes in minutes instead of days. By accelerating part allocation and replacing manual processes, the platform has saved commands hundreds of down days annually while sustaining 90% equipment readiness across echelons.

“This partnership will be pivotal as we work to close the Readiness Gap,” said Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air. “Together, Fathom5 and Air are uniquely positioned to accelerate Naval logistics by drastically shortening turnaround times, maximizing asset availability, and executing modern digital workflows at the speed of operational demand.”

“The future of naval readiness depends on giving Sailors the right information at the right time, wherever the mission takes them,” said Zac Staples, Founder and CEO of Fathom5. “By combining Fathom5’s AI-powered Condition-Based Maintenance capabilities with Air’s Enterprise Readiness platform, we’re helping transform maintenance from a reactive process into a predictive, data-driven advantage. Together, we’re enabling a more resilient fleet that can sustain operations in contested environments while keeping more ships mission-ready.”

About Fathom5

Fathom5, headquartered in Austin, Texas, develops secure digital infrastructure and advanced actuator technologies that strengthen the resilience and readiness of complex industrial systems. The company has achieved significant milestones, including delivering the first program-of-record artificial intelligence system deployed aboard a U.S. Navy warship and securing 17 patents across actuator technology and cybersecurity. Through its flagship Nsyte platform, Fathom5 provides secure edge infrastructure for maintenance and readiness applications, enabling advanced analytics and actionable insights at the point of need.

About Air

Air, formerly Govini, created Enterprise Readiness, a new category of AI-native systems that close the Readiness Gap, the dangerous chasm between what the front line needs and what the national security enterprise can deliver. Air Enterprise Readiness platform aligns development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system, revealing true capacity, exposing real constraints, coordinating critical resources, and executing at the speed of operational demands.The result: the national security enterprise has what it needs to succeed.

DoubleLine Paper: Honebuto Shock: Japan Courts a Truss-Like Redux

Published

53 minutes ago

July 20, 2026

TAMPA, Fla., July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sell-offs in Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) and the yen have put Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on notice, a DoubleLine paper argues, that Japan’s creditors have little tolerance for her government’s unorthodox proposal for a mixture of unfunded fiscal expansion with docile central-banking.

Surveying the “Honebuto shock,” so-named after debt-and-yen sell-off following Tokyo’s annual fiscal policy statement, Bill Campbell, head of the DoubleLine’s Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team, sees parallels to the gilts and British pound revolt over a 2022 proposal for unfunded fiscal expansion by U.K. Prime Minister Liz Truss that swiftly brought down her government.

“Having committed to more than 370 trillion yen of public-private investment through fiscal 2040, the government is calling for monetary policy “in coordination with” that growth agenda,” Mr. Campbell writes. “In the eyes of the financial markets, this demand for the subordination of monetary policy to a political platform only adds fuel to the fire beneath a central bank already under criticism for what critics deem an overly cautious rate-hiking path.”

Mr. Campbell warns, “The Takaichi government should not assume the JGB market, having found its voice, will prove more patient than the gilts market that laid low the Truss government in 2022. In today’s inflationary climate, fiscal credibility is earned, not presumed – even in the G-7 countries. And a G-7 sovereign who embarks on unfunded fiscal expansion risks courting a buyers’ strike.”

The paper, titled “Honebuto Shock: Japan Courts a Truss-Like Redux,” is available here: https://doubleline.com/wp-content/uploads/DoubleLine_Honebuto-Truss-Redux_Campbell_071526.pdf

Mr. Campbell heads the Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team at DoubleLine and serves as the lead Portfolio Manager for emerging markets and international fixed-income strategies. He is a permanent member of the firm’s Fixed Income Asset Allocation Committee. Mr. Campbell has written extensively in research papers and client briefings on evolving trends and episodic developments in global fixed income and currency markets. He holds a B.S. in Business Economics and International Business, as well as a B.A. in English, from Pennsylvania State University and an M.A. in Mathematics, with a focus on Mathematical Finance, from Boston University.

About the Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets Team

The Global Sovereign & Emerging Markets team at DoubleLine manages $XX billion in assets in sovereign debt, including U.S. Treasuries and non-U.S. sovereign issues, and corporate fixed income securities by issuers domiciled in ex-U.S. developed and emerging markets.

Signeasy expands beyond eSignatures with Intelligent Contract Management for growing businesses

Published

53 minutes ago

July 20, 2026

The platform combines eSignatures, AI-powered contract insights, renewal tracking, and a centralized contract repository to help businesses manage contracts from signature to renewal.

DALLAS, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Signeasy today announced its Intelligent Contract Management platform, extending its product capabilities into every stage of the contract lifecycle. The platform gives Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, and Operations teams one place to sign, manage, and get insights from every contract.

For most growing businesses, the real work starts after a contract is signed. Renewal dates, payment terms, obligations, and key clauses end up scattered across inboxes, shared drives, and spreadsheets. Without a large legal operations team, keeping track of them is manual, reactive work.

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform closes this gap. It brings eSignatures, a contract repository, and contract intelligence into one platform.

“Contracts touch every part of a business — Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, Operations — but the tools to effectively manage them have always been built for enterprise legal teams. We built Intelligent Contract Management so lean teams get the same contract visibility and intelligence as companies five times their size.”

— Sunil Patro, Founder & CEO, Signeasy

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform includes:

Centralized Contract Repository: Store every executed contract in one searchable place — no digging through inboxes or shared drives.Conversational AI search: Ask questions about any contract in plain language, follow-up, and get answers with context instead of reviewing documents manually. Customer data is never used to train AI models.Key Term Extraction: Surface payment terms, renewal dates, obligations, and termination clauses instantly.Renewal Tracking and Alerts: Get automated reminders before contracts expire or auto-renew, so commitments never catch teams by surprise.Team Workspaces: Share visibility into contract status, with confidentiality controls for every team that touches contracts.eSignatures: Collect legally binding signatures from anywhere, on any device, and automate approval workflows to get contracts signed faster.

There’s no six-month implementation cycle. Businesses can bulk import existing contracts and onboard teams within hours with hands-on support from Signeasy.

Signeasy’s Intelligent Contract Management platform is available now. Visit www.signeasy.com to request a demo.

About Signeasy

Signeasy is an Intelligent Contract Management (ICM) platform built for growing businesses managing contracts across Finance, Legal, Sales, HR, Procurement, and Operations.
