The rise of digital banks has been a breath of fresh air for Dutch entrepreneurs. Moving away from the rigid, slow-moving world of traditional providers to slick, user-friendly apps was a huge step forward, especially in the early days of getting a business off the ground.

But as your business scales, so does the complexity. Suddenly, you’re not just processing payments; you’re managing a finance stack, reconciling multiple revenue streams, and trying to get a clear, real-time view of your cash flow to fund your growth.

That’s when the questions start: Is a standalone digital account – a great tool for basic transactions – still enough? Or do you now need an integrated financial platform that can process payments, automate financial admin, and give you a clear, real-time view of your cash flow?

The hidden cost of a disconnected finance stack

The biggest challenge isn't usually a single issue – it's the friction between systems. 

You might use a great payment service provider (PSP) to accept online payments, and a separate digital bank to receive the payouts. Both can work well on their own, but the gap between them creates friction.

But because Mollie offers a powerful payment platform that’s directly integrated with your business account, the two work as one to deliver:

  • Faster access to your cash flow: Your settled funds arrive in your account 365 days a year – including weekends and holidays. No more waiting for ‘business days’ to access the money you've already earned.

  • Hours of admin time saved: Your transactions, payouts, and fees are automatically synced with over 17 bookkeeping integrations like Xero, QuickBooks, and Moneybird. This eliminates the tedious, error-prone task of manually reconciling transactions between different platforms.

  • Clarity and control: Instead of managing two separate systems, all your payments, balances, and cash flow are unified in one system. This gives you a single, real-time view of your financial health, allowing you to make smarter, faster decisions.

It's the difference between buying separate components and having a professionally engineered machine where every part works in harmony.

Not all banks are built for business

In the world of digital finance, a company's origin story matters because it reveals its core DNA. Many neobanks began life focusing on consumers, then later expanded to serving businesses:

  • Bunq was designed for individuals and digital nomads to manage personal finances.

  • Knab started as a consumer bank before shifting its focus to the self-employed (ZZP'ers in the Netherlands).

Our journey is fundamentally different. We were founded in 2004 with one mission: to simplify payments for businesses. We are – and always have been – business-first.

You’ll see this in every part of our platform, from security to support.

And with two decades of experience and as a licensed institution that’s supervised by the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), we provide the rock-solid reliability that businesses depend on.

Fueling growth, not just holding funds

Timing in business is crucial. When an opportunity arises to buy inventory in bulk, invest in marketing, staff up for an event, or bridge a quiet period, you need access to capital – and you need it fast.

With Mollie Capital, funding is integrated directly into the platform your business already runs on.

  • Fast and simple: Apply for capital from your Mollie dashboard and, once approved, receive funds as early as the next business day.

  • Flexible repayments: Repayments are a small, fixed percentage of your daily sales. You pay more when business is booming and less when it’s slow.

  • Transparent cost: You pay a single, flat fee. No hidden charges. No ongoing interest.

This model is designed to support your cash flow, ensuring that funding is an accelerator for your growth, not a burden.

Control spending. Empower your team.

As your business scales, so does your spending. Simple consumer-first apps often lack the robust controls and flexibility that businesses need.

The Mollie Card is built for this. It gives you the global acceptance of a Mastercard, but is debt-free by design. You can instantly create virtual cards for your team, set custom spending limits for each, and pay for critical supplier costs without restrictive limits.
