Adyen BV, a fast-growing Dutch payments company backed by Silicon Valley billionaires, is considering an initial public offering as early as next year, according to people familiar with the matter.

The startup, whose more than 4,500 customers include eight of the 10 biggest U.S. internet companies as well as several large retailers, is speaking to advisers about a potential listing, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. No final decisions have been made and the firm could choose to stay private for longer, the people said.
