“Can a European SME-focused PSP become the single-provider financial OS for businesses by layering bank payments, business accounts, and embedded capital on top of its core card-acceptance rails?”
Founded as a pure-play payment gateway, Mollie grew into one of Europe's most popular PSPs for SMEs by emphasising simplicity and breadth of local payment methods. In 2022 it expanded into financial services with Mollie Capital (revenue-based financing) and later launched Business Accounts with debit cards, evolving from a single-product PSP toward a full financial platform. The December 2025 agreement to acquire GoCardless marks a step-change, adding bank-payment rails (direct debit, Pay by Bank) and significantly expanding addressable enterprise customers.
Mollie processes payments through Mollie Payments (self-operated). Disclosed money-movement rails: SEPA and iDEAL.
Mollie's lending and capital products are provided by YouLend.
Mollie connects to bank accounts through Plaid and Salt Edge.
Mollie integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Exact Online, Asperion, Yuki, Twinfield and easybill.
