About Mollie
Mollie is a payments company that provides online and in-person payment services for businesses in Europe and the United Kingdom. It was founded in Amsterdam in 2004 by Adriaan Mol and began as a way for merchants to accept payments through a single API instead of separate bank and card integrations. The platform lets merchants accept cards, local payment methods such as iDEAL and Bancontact, wallets and bank payments, and it adds financing, fraud monitoring, analytics and embedded payments for software platforms. Customers range from small online shops to larger merchants and software vendors. Mollie earns mainly from transaction fees on the payments it processes and from related financial services. It is licensed as an electronic money institution by the Dutch central bank and operates a licensed payment institution in the United Kingdom. In 2026 it completed the acquisition of the bank payments company GoCardless.

| Jun 2021 | Series C | Blackstone (lead); EQT; TCV; General Atlantic; HMI Capital; Alkeon Capital | $789M | $6.5B | Mollie is an Amsterdam-based payment service provider that enables businesses to integrate payment processing into their platforms via API. On June 22, 2021, the company closed a $800 million Series C funding round led by Blackstone Growth (BXG), with participation from EQT Growth, General Atlantic, HMI Capital, Alkeon Capital, and returning investor TCV. The round valued Mollie at $6.5 billion USD (€5.4 billion), making it the third most valuable privately-held European fintech behind Klarna and Checkout.com, and one of the top 20 most valuable fintechs globally. The company demonstrated strong traction ahead of the funding. Mollie was on track to process approximately €20 billion (nearly $24 billion) in payment volume in 2021, representing 100% year-over-year growth. The CEO Shane Happach highlighted 600% growth in Germany and preparations for a full UK launch, achieved within three months of joining the company. Mollie had 480 employees at the time and planned to hire 300 additional team members within six to nine months. The funding was designated for international expansion, product and engineering development, and scaling the company's technology platform to extend beyond payments into financial services for SMEs. |
| Sep 2020 | Series B | TCV (lead) | $106M | $1B | TCV led a EUR 90 million Series B round in Mollie in September 2020, equivalent to about $106 million, bringing the total raised by the company to EUR 115 million. Mollie's founder and chief executive Adriaan Mol confirmed that the round valued the company at more than $1 billion. Mollie said the funding would support international expansion and new product development. The round was only the company's second outside funding after a EUR 25 million round in 2019. Mollie was founded in 2004 in Amsterdam and offers an API-based way for websites and apps to accept online payments. It served nearly 100,000 merchants, mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, among them Deliveroo, TOMS and UNICEF, and expected to process well over EUR 10 billion of transactions in 2020, roughly double the prior year. Mol described the company as profitable and efficient, and TCV partner John Doran said the ease of use of the product was a key reason for the investment. |
| Jul 2019 | Series A | Laurence A. Tosi; TCV | $28M | - | Mollie raised EUR 25 million in July 2019 in its first external funding round. The investors were a group of technology and payments entrepreneurs, including founders and management teams of Check24 and Klarna, founders of the Latin American payment service provider StoneCo, former executives of PayPal and Worldpay, and founders and executives of global investment funds. Mollie had been profitable without outside investors since its founding in 2004. The company said the money would accelerate growth, expand its team and operations and fund research and development of more complex financial products. Founder Adriaan Mol said the company had brought industry investors on board who share its values and long-term vision. Mollie is an Amsterdam-based payment service provider that offers API-based online payments to small and medium-sized businesses across Europe, and it served more than 65,000 merchants at the time of the round. |
