SINGAPORE -
Media OutReach Newswire - 14 May 2026 -
Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, today announced that homegrown fashion brand
CHARLES & KEITH is now live with Adyen's donation feature,
Adyen Giving.
The initiative is supported by the CHARLES & KEITH Group
Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Group, as part of its
commitment to supporting local communities.
Customers of CHARLES & KEITH can now round up their total to the nearest dollar to donate to charitable causes under
Community Chest,
the philanthropic arm of Singapore's National Council of Social Service
(NCSS). Launched in 2026, CHARLES & KEITH will complete the roll
out of Adyen Giving across all stores by the end of August this year.
To help amplify the impact of merchants like CHARLES & KEITH, Adyen is
matching all donations made through Giving in 2026
– so every dollar donated at checkout goes twice as far. The donation
matching is funded through Adyen's 1% Fund, which directs 1% of Adyen's
annual net revenue to initiatives that support the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals.
"Driving positive social impact is a key commitment of CHARLES &
KEITH Group Foundation," said Charles Wong, CEO, CHARLES & KEITH
Group. "Through this partnership with Community Chest and Adyen Giving,
we can amplify giving together with our customers. Every small act of
generosity goes to uplifting and strengthening our local communities."
Today, Community Chest joins the roster of 200+ charities signed up on
the Giving platform globally. This partnership also marks Community
Chest's inaugural partnership with a fintech provider, tapping into
Adyen's customer base to enable charitable giving to the local
community.
"As increasing segments of our population become aware and aspire
towards building a society where less advantaged communities receive the
help they need, businesses too can play their part in enabling these
aspirations," said Jack Lim, Managing Director, Community Chest.
"Adyen's single platform helps businesses incorporate seamless customer
giving into their customer experience, creating a powerful intersection
where purpose meets commerce. These acts of everyday kindness accumulate
over time, unifying businesses and consumers in their journey of
purpose by making giving part of everyday living."
"We're pleased to launch Adyen Giving in Singapore and heartened that
payments technology is turning everyday transactions into real impact,"
said Ben Wong, General Manager of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong at Adyen.
"We look forward to more of our customers joining us on this journey to
drive collective change."
Before the launch of Giving, brands struggled with fragmented donation
solutions and faced complex integration and administrative challenges.
Adyen Giving solved this by keeping donations separate from the
merchant's money flow and by streamlining integration. Additionally,
Adyen absorbs all fees involved, lowering barriers for merchants to
activate donations while ensuring that the full donation amount goes
directly to the supported causes.
