  • A summary of the complaint

  • The final result of the investigation

  • Explanation of the final decision

  • Information on how to further escalate the complaint in the event of an unsatisfactory outcome

  If we cannot provide a final response within twenty working days, we will inform the Merchant of a new expected response time as well as the reason for the delay.

• Step 2 – Escalation

  If a resolution cannot be achieved via Step 1, the Merchant is asked to escalate the issue within Adyen’s organization by emailing support@adyen.com. This email should include the initial complaint and a summary of our response.

  Adyen will provide a final response within twenty working days. This response will include the following:

  • A summary of the second complaint

  • The final result of the second investigation

  • Explanation of the final decision

  If we cannot provide a final response within twenty working days, we will inform the Merchant of a new expected response time.

  To assist in a review of the complaint the Merchant will be asked to provide a summary of their concerns, details (i.e., the name of the person Merchant worked with, the date the concern occurred, date spoken to Payment Card Network (PCNO), acquirer or Adyen representative) and copies of any supporting documentation (i.e., agreements, statements, correspondence).

  Nothing restricts the Merchant from directly filing a complaint with the FCAC to investigate non-compliance with the Code. FCAC can be reached via:

  • Phone: 1-866-461-3222

  Please note that the information being submitted may be shared with the PCNO, acquirer, processor or financial institution in order to assist us in answering the Merchant’s concerns.
