Dutch fintech Mollie has launched in Hungary, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic. The company already handles payments for over 250,000 businesses across Europe.

According to Mollie, Slovenian and Hungarian sellers are often held back by legacy payment tools. In the Czech Republic, the company sees potential for improvement in payment methods.

The company’s platform is pretty simple. It handles payment processing, reporting, and fraud protection all in one place. Online stores don’t need to juggle multiple providers anymore.

Building Local Teams

Mollie isn’t just dropping in a generic solution and walking away. They’re hiring local teams in each country to provide proper support. This matters because payment preferences vary by country. What works in Amsterdam might flop in Prague. Each market gets payment options that local customers actually use.

That includes Apple Pay and Google Pay, but also local favourites. Plus buy-now-pay-later options like Klarna that have become essential for many shoppers.

Koen Köppen, CEO of Mollie, said:

We are incredibly excited to bring the Mollie experience to even more businesses across Europe, especially as we expand into an exciting European markets. As we continue to expand into new markets, our mission remains clear: to make money management effortless for every business in Europe. 

Not Just About Payments

Köppen sees the project as bigger than just processing transactions. “We’re supporting local entrepreneurs in realising their ambitions, both within and beyond their national borders,” he said.

The platform works for tiny startups and big enterprises alike. Mollie designed the setup process to be simple for small businesses but robust enough for major operations. This follows last year’s launch in Italy. The company already operates in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France, UK, and Portugal. They’re clearly working their way across Europe systematically.

What’s Coming Next

Mollie plans more launches soon but won’t say which countries are next. Given the pattern, other Eastern European markets seem likely.

For now, they’re focused on building strong positions in these three new markets. If it works, they could use the same approach elsewhere in the region.
