Uber’s new ride-booking kiosks and Adyen expansion spotlight fintech’s 2026 embedded-finance push

Adyen and Uber are deepening their collaboration, announcing on Monday an expansion that now covers more markets and introduces support for physical kiosks—these let travelers book Uber rides even if they don’t have the Uber app. Adyen, which has handled Uber’s payment infrastructure since 2012 in over 70 countries, said the update includes payment processing in the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and various Caribbean regions. The new arrangement also brings local acquiring to Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Australia, plus fresh payment options like Brazil’s Pix, Afterpay, and WeChat Pay. The first Uber kiosk under this partnership is up and running at LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal C in New York. Uber is planning additional rollouts at hotels, ports, and other international airports.
