Gov.uk Replaces Stripe with Dutch Provider Adyen for Payments

Originally published on The Register — June 4, 2026

Summary

The UK’s Government Digital Service (GDS) has replaced Stripe with Dutch provider Adyen as its payment processor for GOV.UK Pay, the platform used by local authorities, police forces, and armed forces units. The three-year contract, worth up to £25.3 million, covers approximately 17% of payments made through GOV.UK Pay but more than 70% of its organizations. GDS will migrate around 1,000 services to the new supplier.

The switch will enable new payment options including “pay by bank,” which transfers money directly between accounts using open banking services — letting residents skip credit cards entirely. GDS will continue using WorldPay for central government and NHS payments. GDS emphasized that there will be no discernible difference for paying users and no loss in functionality during the migration.
