Adyen has agreed to acquire Orb in a US$335 million deal that will add enterprise billing capabilities to its payments platform.
The transaction will be funded entirely from Adyen’s available cash resources and remains subject to customary closing conditions.
Upon completion, Orb will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Adyen.
Orb’s co-founders will reinvest a meaningful portion of their proceeds into newly issued ordinary shares in Adyen.
Founded in 2021 and based in San Francisco, Orb helps enterprises manage real-time usage data and complex pricing contracts. Its customers include Vercel, Glean, Replit and Supabase.
Adyen plans to connect Orb’s billing infrastructure with its payments and risk systems.
The company expects this to help merchants link pricing decisions with payment performance, fraud risk and transaction success rates.
Adyen will manage Orb under an incubator model during the first phase of the acquisition. Orb will continue to support multi-payment service provider environments.
Over time, Adyen plans to bring billing and payments into a more unified infrastructure for enterprise merchants.
Ingo Uytdehaage, Co-CEO of Adyen, said,
“The structural complexity of modern billing has become the kind of infrastructure problem Adyen is built to take on. Helping customers optimise beyond the transaction itself has been an important part of our long-term direction, and recent moves have expanded our role further into the enterprise monetisation stack.
Combining Orb’s billing product with Adyen’s payments platform closes the loop between what merchants charge and how those charges perform, enabling merchants to automate smarter revenue decisions in real time.”
Alvaro Morales, CEO of Orb, said,
“We built our architecture to process complex consumption logic at the event level, giving merchants total flexibility over their pricing frameworks.
By joining forces with Adyen, we can connect this ingestion layer directly to real-time financial health signals, closing the loop between billing logic and payment success.”
Adyen expects the Orb acquisition and its proposed acquisition of Talon.One to close on 1 July 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
