Why This Happens
Adyen has decided to terminate your merchant agreement. This is typically the result of unresolved compliance issues, persistent high chargebacks or refunds, prohibited business activities, or risk concerns that could not be adequately mitigated. Contract termination is usually a final decision after warnings and monitoring periods.
Example Notification
"We're writing to inform you that we will be terminating our merchant agreement effective [date]. Please refer to the attached notice for details."
