Mollie to acquire GoCardless

15 December 2025

European financial services provider Mollie has agreed to acquire UK fintech GoCardless in a transaction that will establish a European leader in the fragmented payments market.

The combination brings together Mollie’s broad financial services offering with GoCardless’s bank payments expertise, creating a unified platform serving more than 350,000 businesses across Europe. Both companies are profitable and focused on accelerating growth. The strategic rationale centres on delivering a comprehensive, integrated suite of payment solutions to customers, rather than pursuing cost-cutting measures.

Houthoff advised Mollie on the transaction. The team was led by Richard Witvliet and included Jasmijn Harms, Grafton Cederburg, Noah Graves, Esmee de Bos, Puyan Hashemi, Yvo de Vries, Nordine Lgarah, Cornelie Castelein and Mika Hermans.
