The fast-growing financial services provider Mollie announces it is fully operational in every European Economic Area (EEA) country as of today, marked by its official launch in Croatia and Iceland. To support this milestone and foster cross-border commerce, Mollie is committing €350 million over the next five years to expand its product offering and services, infrastructure and team across the EEA (outside of the Netherlands, its home market and the UK, where it is closing the acquisition of GoCardless).

The power of hyper-localisation

The expansion addresses a critical driver for modern business growth: the necessity for merchants to expand beyond their domestic borders. While international expansion is essential to scale, navigating fragmented local payment preferences, varying regulations, and language barriers remains a major hurdle. Managing these complexities distracts business owners from their core mission. Mollie absorbs that complexity so businesses can focus purely on growth, de-risking and simplifying cross-border expansion through 'hyper-localisation. Across all 30 EEA countries, the hyper-localised approach includes:

• Native language support: From onboarding to customer support, merchants can manage their accounts and speak with support teams in their own language.

• The right (local) payment methods: Easy access to the preferred local and international payment methods consumers trust, processed in local currencies to help boost sales.

• Frictionless local setup: Smart connections to local business registries and ID verification tools streamline onboarding, so our clients can sell faster.

“Completing our EEA footprint is a landmark moment for Mollie, but more importantly, for the companies we serve," says Koen Köppen, CEO at Mollie. “Businesses looking to scale across the continent still face a fragmented landscape of payment methods, regulations and local requirements. With full coverage across all 30 EEA markets and a €350 million investment in Europe, we're proving that it's possible to build truly pan-European financial infrastructure. Our ambition is to be the financial backbone of European commerce, ensuring businesses grow across borders without the complexity that has traditionally held them back.”

Deep regional roots

Mollie’s ability to deliver this hyper-local experience at scale is backed by a robust European infrastructure:

• 12 physical offices spanning from Amsterdam to Warsaw

• A diverse team of employees from 50+ nationalities.

• Planned future developments, including a hub in Lisbon and continued growth in Milan, Stockholm and Warsaw

From today, businesses across the EEA will have full access to Mollie’s localised financial and payment services.
