Mollie to acquire GoCardless, creating Europe's most complete payment platform

Businesses scaling internationally or building recurring revenue models face a persistent challenge: fragmented payment infrastructure that increases costs and complexity. By combining forces, Mollie and GoCardless will give businesses access to an unmatched suite of tools from a single partner, designed to solve these problems and fuel growth:

A Scalable Partner for Every Merchant: From ambitious SMEs to large enterprises, the new platform provides a single, scalable partner. Large businesses can choose to consolidate their European payment stack, while SMEs gain access to powerful, enterprise-grade tools without the complexity.

•  Recurring Revenue Management: Directly addresses the core challenge of involuntary churn by enabling businesses to offer reliable bank payments alongside cards. This significantly reduces payment failures, lowers transaction costs, and improves cash flow for subscription models.

• A Growth Engine for SaaS Platforms: SaaS platforms and vertical software vendors using Mollie Connect can choose to integrate GoCardless's bank payment network directly into their products, enabling their customers to accept both card and bank payments through a single embedded solution.

• Hyperlocal: Local onboarding and integrations with local business software, reporting formats and local payment methods (e.g. iDEAL in the Netherlands, Satispay in Italy and Twint in Switzerland.)

• Frictionless Global Expansion: A simplified pathway to enter and scale in new international markets.

An Integrated Offering: Access to a full suite of services, including Mollie Capital for financing, advanced fraud monitoring, and powerful analytics.
