Adyen expands partnership with Affirm to UK
Adyen has expanded its alliance with Affirm to the UK, enabling merchants to offer a range of pay-over-time plans to their customers.
This service aims to provide consumers with various payment options, including interest-free and interest-bearing instalments.
The collaboration began in November 2020, offering Affirm's payment solutions to eligible US merchants through various platforms, including websites, apps, and physical payment terminals.
The partnership has experienced a 'growth' in average annual volume, increasing 'more than seven times' from 2021 to 2023, the release stated.
Adyen UK managing director Nicole Olbe said: 'Adyen customers all over the globe are demanding best-in-class payment experiences to boost business and drive customer engagement, which is why we are expanding our partnership with Affirm into the U.K.
'We've seen how Affirm's consumer-first payment options accelerate growth for our U.S. and Canadian merchants and help them meet customers' individual needs at checkout. We're excited to unlock greater opportunities for U.K. merchants, and greater flexibility for consumers, together with Affirm.'
Affirm VP and UK country manager Ruth Spratt stated: "Businesses across many sectors in the U.K. rely on Adyen to drive growth; now they can benefit by offering Affirm's more flexible, transparent, and long-term pay-over-time options to their customers.
'By deepening our partnership with Adyen, we look forward to helping more merchants to grow their business, and more consumers pay over time on a schedule that works best for them, and always without any late or hidden fees."
In November 2024, Affirm expanded to the region with the launch of Affirm UK with the regulatory approval by the Financial Conduct Authority.
In December 2024, the partnership further expanded to include Adyen for Platforms customers in the US and Canada.
Additionally, Adyen introduced Adyen Uplift, an AI-powered suite designed to optimise payment processes.
"Adyen expands partnership with Affirm to UK " was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.

Ontario, Canada Filtration Manufacturer Camfil Demonstrates Significant Cost Savings for Ontario School Air Filtration Systems
Toronto, Ontario, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Camfil Canada, a leading provider of commercial and industrial air filtration solutions, today announced the publication of a comprehensive case study demonstrating substantial cost savings achieved through advanced air filter implementation in Ontario school facilities. The research highlights how Canadian educational institutions can reduce operational expenses while improving indoor air quality for students and staff. Addressing Canadian School Air Quality Challenges Ontario schools face unique air quality management challenges, including extreme seasonal temperature variations, budget constraints, and increasing focus on student health and improving the learning environment. The new case study provides a detailed analysis of how proper air filter selection and implementation can address these challenges while delivering measurable financial benefits. 'Canadian schools operate under significant budgetary pressures while maintaining responsibility for student and staff health,' said Joshua Gutherie, Air Quality Expert at Camfil Canada. 'Our case study demonstrates that investing in high-efficiency air filtration technology delivers both improved air quality and substantial cost savings for Ontario schools.' Documented Cost Savings in Ontario Educational Facilities The published case study presents a detailed financial analysis of implementing the plan for Ontario schools, including: ● Energy Cost Reductions: Quantified savings in heating and cooling expenses through improved HVAC system efficiency ● Maintenance Cost Decreases: Reduced filter replacement frequency and HVAC system maintenance requirements ● Extended Equipment Life: Protection of HVAC systems leading to deferred capital replacement costs ● Operational Efficiency Improvements: Streamlined maintenance procedures and reduced labour requirements The study specifically addresses the impact of Ontario's energy costs and seasonal operational demands on the performance and economics of school air filtration systems. Supporting Student Health and Learning Outcomes Beyond cost savings, the case study documents improvements in indoor air quality that directly benefit student health and academic performance. Research continues to demonstrate the connection between improved air quality and enhanced learning environments, making air filtration investments valuable from both financial and educational perspectives. 'Ontario schools are increasingly recognizing that air quality investments support both fiscal responsibility and educational excellence,' noted Guthrie. 'Our case study provides the data and analysis that school boards need to make informed decisions about air filtration technology.' Advanced Filtration Solutions for Canadian Schools The case study features a detailed analysis of air filtration technologies specifically suited to Canadian educational environments, including: ● High-Efficiency Particulate Filters: Engineered to handle Ontario's seasonal allergen and particulate loads while minimizing energy consumption ● Extended Service Life Filters: Designed to maintain performance despite challenging Canadian environmental conditions. This includes fewer replacements, with some filters lasting up to a year in Ontario schools, compared to three months for competing filters. ● Energy-Efficient Filter Media: Optimized for Canadian HVAC systems and operations ● Each solution addresses the specific requirements of Ontario schools, including compliance with provincial building codes, accommodating extreme temperature variations, and optimizing energy cost savings. Practical Implementation Guidance for Ontario School Boards The published case study provides actionable implementation strategies for Ontario educational facilities, addressing common concerns, including: ● Budget Planning: ROI calculations and payback period analysis for different filter upgrade scenarios ● Seasonal Considerations: Implementation of timing recommendations for Ontario school operational schedules ● Maintenance Training: Guidance for school staff on optimizing filter performance and longevity ● Compliance Requirements: Alignment with Ontario building codes and educational facility standards Supporting Ontario's Educational Infrastructure The case study reflects Camfil Canada's commitment to supporting Ontario's educational sector through practical air quality solutions that address both health and financial priorities.

New AI minister says Canada won't ‘over-index' on AI regulation
OTTAWA - Canada's new minister of artificial intelligence said Tuesday he'll put less emphasis on AI regulation and more on finding ways to harness the technology's economic benefits. In his first speech since becoming Canada's first-ever AI minister, Evan Solomon said Canada will move away from 'over-indexing on warnings and regulation' to make sure the economy benefits from AI. His regulatory focus will be on data protection and privacy, he told the audience at an event in Ottawa Tuesday morning organized by the think tank Canada 2020. Solomon said regulation isn't about finding 'a saddle to throw on the bucking bronco called AI innovation. That's hard. But it is to make sure that the horse doesn't kick people in the face. And we need to protect people's data and their privacy.' The previous government introduced a privacy and AI regulation bill that targeted high-impact AI systems. It did not become law before the election was called. That bill is 'not gone, but we have to re-examine in this new environment where we're going to be on that,' Solomon said. He said constraints on AI have not worked at the international level. 'It's really hard. There's lots of leakages,' he said. 'The United States and China have no desire to buy into any constraint or regulation.' That doesn't mean regulation won't exist, he said, but it will have to be assembled in steps. Canada won't go it alone, Solomon added, because it's a 'waste of time.' Getting AI regulation right is critical to Canada's 'economic destiny,' he said. Soloman said that includes government investments in data centres and research, protecting Canadian intellectual property 'and, critically, cranking up our commercialization.' Solomon outlined four priorities for his ministry — scaling up Canada's AI industry, driving adoption and ensuring Canadians have trust in and sovereignty over the technology. He said that includes supporting Canadian AI companies like Cohere, which he said 'means using government as essentially an industrial policy to champion our champions.' While big companies are leading in using AI, small and medium enterprises are not, and the government needs to encourage them, Solomon said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 10, 2025.
