AMSTERDAM – June 18, 2026 – 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).
Mollie commits €350 million to European expansion, completing the EEA footprint with the launch of Croatia and Iceland
The power of hyper-localization
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-localization. Across all 30 EEA states 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. "With this milestone and our €350 million investment, we are solidifying our position as the financial backbone of European commerce. We are ensuring that businesses of all sizes no longer have to choose between advanced financial technology and the local support they need to scale across Europe."
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 localized financial and payment services.
