European FinTech Mollie said on Thursday that its net revenue rose 29 per cent to €147 million in 2025 and announced an agreement to acquire GoCardless, as the company accelerates its expansion across Europe and broadens its financial services offering.

The London-headquartered payments company said growth was driven by international expansion, new products and demand for localised payment solutions across Europe. Mollie expanded into 12 new markets during 2025, taking its presence to more than 30 European and UK markets as it pursues a goal of establishing a local presence in every European country by June 2026.

The company said it maintained positive operating cash flow during the year and continued operating without debt. Mollie added that it remained financially independent and retained a strong liquidity position to support future investment plans.

Mollie said the proposed acquisition of GoCardless would combine card payments, local payment methods and bank payments into a single platform serving more than 350,000 businesses. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete in the second half of 2026.

Vincent Toolan, chief financial officer at Mollie, said: “Our 2025 results demonstrate that our focus on localised expertise and continuous product innovation is delivering strong growth.” He added that the agreement to acquire GoCardless would “allow us to create a single, seamless solution that integrates card payments, local methods, and bank payments for over 350,000 businesses”.

The company has expanded beyond payments processing in recent years as it seeks to build a broader financial services platform for small and medium-sized businesses. Mollie said its lending arm, Mollie Capital, has now provided more than €250 million in funding to European businesses.

Mollie also launched Mollie Business Accounts during 2025, marking its entry into business banking services. The company said the new offering formed part of a wider strategy to diversify revenues and deepen relationships with merchants using its payments infrastructure.
