Mollie's 2025 Revenue: The Number Just Dropped
Hey FinTech Fanatic!
Big news from my hometown, Amsterdam, keeps coming. This time, it's Mollie's turn.
The Dutch payments platform posted a 29% increase in net revenue before interest, reaching €147 million.
Last year also marked a strategic turning point: the signing of a major agreement to acquire GoCardless, a deal that will strengthen Mollie's direct debit and open banking capabilities.
With no debt, robust liquidity, and positive operating cash flow, Mollie has a solid foundation for long-term growth, a rare combination in one of FinTech's most competitive categories.
“Our 2025 results demonstrate that our local expertise and product innovation capabilities are driving sustainable growth,” said Vincent Toolan, CFO of Mollie.
