Mollie

Mollie is a Dutch payment service provider founded in 2004 in Amsterdam by Adriaan Mol. The company has grown into one of Europe's leading payment platforms, enabling businesses of all sizes to accept online and in-person payments through a clean, developer-friendly API. Mollie is known for its transparent pricing with no lock-in contracts, charging per transaction rather than imposing monthly fees, which has made it particularly popular among European SMEs and startups.

The platform supports a comprehensive range of payment methods tailored to European markets, including credit and debit cards, iDEAL (the dominant Dutch payment method), Bancontact, SEPA Direct Debit, Klarna, Apple Pay, and many more. Mollie provides recurring payment capabilities, multi-currency support, and a powerful dashboard for managing transactions, refunds, and payouts. Its well-documented REST API and official libraries for popular programming languages make integration straightforward for development teams.

Headquartered in Amsterdam with data centers in the Netherlands and across the EU, Mollie processes billions of euros in transactions annually for over 200,000 businesses. The company holds ISO 27001 certification and operates fully within European data protection regulations. For businesses seeking a GDPR-compliant alternative to US-based payment processors like Stripe or PayPal, Mollie offers a compelling combination of competitive pricing, broad European payment method coverage, and guaranteed data sovereignty within the EU.
