The panel's verdict

Mollie B.V. is an Amsterdam payment provider, licensed as an e-money institution by the Dutch central bank under register number F0038, with Mollie UK Ltd registered at the FCA under FRN 977968. Payment methods is the strength at 7 — 7 — backed by named local methods from iDEAL | Wero at 0,42 € to BLIK, TWINT and Przelewy24, and pricing transparency clusters at 6-7 on a published rate card — EEA consumer cards at 1,80 % + 0,25 €, no monthly fees — though we found no public information on chargeback or refund fees, so an end-to-end cost cannot be computed. Checkout and strong customer authentication is the clear weakness at 2 — 2 — the pages show an included checkout and a fraud-prevention module by name, and no public information on 3-D Secure, SCA exemptions or PCI scope. Recurring billing sits at 4-5, licence and account terms at 4-5, sovereignty at 3-4 and settlement and reconciliation at 4; no criterion spread by more than a point, and no material disagreement was computed between judges.

Speaks for it

  • Nearly every captured method carries a public rate, with cards split into EEA consumer at 1,80 % + 0,25 €, EEA commercial at 2,90 % + 0,25 € and non-EEA at 3,25 % + 0,25 € under a stated no-monthly-fees model.
  • Named European coverage spans BLIK, TWINT, Przelewy24, EPS, iDEAL | Wero at 0,42 €, Bancontact, Swish and Bacs, with Klarna and Billie priced per country.
  • Both regulated entities are fully identified — Mollie B.V. as an e-money institution under the Dutch central bank with register number F0038, and Mollie UK Ltd under the FCA with FRN 977968.
  • Developer resources are public, including documentation, libraries, a changelog, a status page and test keys without contract on the same endpoints as live.
  • Checkout, recurring payments, payment links and invoicing are listed as included without additional cost.

Report an error

Held against it

  • We found no public information on 3-D Secure, SCA exemptions, PCI scope or hosted-versus-embedded integration options.
  • We found no public information on chargeback or refund fees, which keeps an effective rate from being computed end to end.
  • We found no public information on safeguarding of merchant funds, reserves or rolling holds, termination notice or appeal routes.
  • We found no public information on settlement currencies, payout delay or schedule, or on which methods support refunds and recurring charges.
  • We found no public information on where payment and cardholder data are processed or stored; subprocessors appear only as categories plus Ekata of Mastercard, without locations.

Best for

  • You are planning a multi-market European rollout and want local methods — iDEAL | Wero at 0,42 €, BLIK, TWINT, Przelewy24, EPS — publicly priced before you commit.
  • You want to build and test before signing: test keys run without contract against the same endpoints as live.
  • Your finance team compares providers on published per-method rates, payout costs and a stated no-monthly-fees model.
  • You run a SaaS with straightforward subscriptions: recurring payments and failed-payment recovery are included, with SEPA Direct Debit at 0,35 €.

Report an error

Avoid if

  • You must evaluate authorisation behaviour before committing — the captured pages show only an included checkout and a fraud-prevention module by name, with no public information on 3-D Secure, SCA exemptions or PCI scope.
  • You need an end-to-end cost per transaction — we found no public information on chargeback or refund fees, Apple Pay's rate depends on the underlying credit card, and PayPal is priced only as PayPal fees plus 0,10 €.
  • You must rule out transfers of personal data outside the EEA — the privacy policy acknowledges such transfers under EU standard contractual clauses and states personal data is used to train AI models.

The scores

Payment methods & local coverage

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Which methods a European customer can actually pay with — cards and wallets, SEPA Direct Debit, and the local methods that decide conversion per country — judged on the named list per market rather than on a method count.

0 — Cards only, or a method list with no statement of which countries and currencies each one covers.

3 — Major cards and wallets plus one or two European methods, with local coverage stated vaguely ("many local methods") and no SEPA Direct Debit.

5 — Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, SEPA Direct Debit, and the main local methods for DACH and Benelux (iDEAL or Wero, Bancontact, Klarna or invoice) listed by name with the countries they serve.

8 — Broad EU coverage named per country — including methods such as BLIK, TWINT, Przelewy24, EPS and Wero — multi-currency acceptance with settlement currencies stated, and which methods support refunds and recurring charges documented per method.

10 — Coverage is documented as a matrix a merchant can plan against: every method with its countries, currencies, refund, partial-capture and recurring support, and the provider's own acquiring versus third-party routing stated per method.

The Finance Lead

More than 38 payment methods are claimed and the price list names iDEAL and Wero, Bancontact, Klarna, BLIK, TWINT, Przelewy24 and EPS, with Klarna and Billie even priced per country group — breadth I could plan a European rollout against. But we found no public information on settlement currencies, on which methods support refunds or recurring charges, or on Google Pay, so the planning matrix a finance team needs is not on the pages. 1 2 4

The E-Commerce Lead

The pricing page names exactly the methods my markets need — iDEAL and Wero at 0,42 €, Bancontact, BLIK, EPS, Przelewy24, TWINT and Swish alongside cards, Apple Pay and SEPA Direct Debit, with Klarna priced per country for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and Belgium, and the Nordics. The "over 38 payment methods" headline stays a count rather than a list, and we found no public information on which countries and settlement currencies each method covers, on per-method refund and recurring support, or on Google Pay. 1 2 4

Over 38 methods with one integration, and the pricing page names the locals that decide conversion per market — iDEAL | Wero at 0,42 €, Bancontact, EPS, BLIK, Przelewy24, TWINT, Swish, Bacs, plus Klarna, Billie and in3 priced by country — which clears the DACH and Benelux baseline comfortably. What holds it below the top band: we found no public information on settlement currencies or on which methods support recurring charges and refunds, Google Pay appears nowhere in the captured pages, and countries per method show up only in the Klarna and Billie rate lines. 1 2 4

The Payments Engineer

The pricing page names the methods a European rollout needs — iDEAL and Wero, Bancontact, EPS, BLIK, Przelewy24, TWINT, Swish and SEPA Direct Debit — with Klarna and Billie priced per country group and card rates split EEA consumer, commercial and non-EEA. What I cannot plan against: settlement currencies are not stated, refunds and recurring support are not documented per method, and Apple Pay is left at a rate that depends on the underlying credit card. 1 2 4

Named pricing shows broad European coverage — BLIK, TWINT, Przelewy24, EPS, iDEAL|Wero, Bancontact, Swish, Bacs, plus Klarna and Billie split by country — alongside SEPA Direct Debit and Visa and Mastercard tiered by EEA consumer, EEA commercial and non-EEA. We found no public information on settlement currencies, on which individual methods support refunds or recurring charges, or on Google Pay, which keeps this below the top band. 1 2 4

The Skeptic

The named list runs genuinely broad — BLIK, TWINT, Przelewy24, EPS and iDEAL|Wero at 0,42 € sit beside Bancontact, Klarna tiered by country group and SEPA Direct Debit at 0,35 € — well past the DACH/Benelux baseline. But we found no public information on settlement currencies, and none on which methods support refunds or recurring charges, so the breadth is not a matrix a merchant can plan against. "Über 38 Zahlungsmethoden" is a count, not a per-market plan. 1 2 4

Checkout, SCA & fraud

Show reasoning
How this is scored

The path from basket to authorised payment under PSD2: hosted and embedded checkout options, 3-D Secure and SCA exemption handling, fraud screening, and what the provider documents about keeping legitimate payments from failing.

0 — A single redirect page with no statement on 3-D Secure, SCA or fraud screening.

3 — Hosted checkout with 3-D Secure 2 mentioned, fraud screening as an unexplained add-on, and no word on exemptions or declined-payment handling.

5 — Hosted and embedded checkout options, 3-D Secure 2 with SCA handled by the provider, configurable fraud rules, and the resulting PCI DSS scope for each integration type stated.

8 — SCA exemptions (low value, transaction risk analysis, merchant-initiated) applied and documented, fraud tooling with rules and risk scores exposed to the merchant, network tokens or account updater, and liability shift explained per flow.

10 — Authorisation is engineered and shown: exemption strategy documented, soft-decline retry handled, authorisation-rate reporting by method and issuer country, and a checkout the merchant can run in their own domain while staying at the lowest PCI scope.

Report an error

The Finance Lead

A checkout is included and fraud prevention is named as a module, and the dashboard advertises rescuing failed payments — but we found no public information on 3-D Secure, SCA exemptions, PCI scope per integration or authorisation handling. I would not hand over authorisation flows on marketing copy alone. 1 2

The E-Commerce Lead

Checkout is listed as included at no extra cost and fraud prevention appears as a module name, with the dashboard promising to rescue failed payments — but we found no public information on hosted versus on-domain checkout options, on 3-D Secure or SCA exemptions, on PCI scope, or on authorisation rates. As someone judged on conversion, I cannot see from the public pages whether the challenge fires only when it must. 1 2

The SaaS Founder

The captured pages show a checkout included at no extra cost and a fraud prevention module by name, and that is the extent of it. We found no public information on 3-D Secure, SCA exemption handling, PCI DSS scope, liability shift or declined-payment strategy, so I cannot judge what this authorisation path costs me in failed renewals. 1 2

The Payments Engineer

Fraud prevention is named as a module, a checkout is included at no extra cost, and the dashboard offers recovery of failed payments — but I found no public information on 3-D Secure, SCA exemptions, hosted versus embedded options, or the PCI scope of any integration. For a PSD2 shop that silence sits just above the bottom of the scale. 1 2 3

The pages name a checkout, a fraud-prevention module and automated decisions "zur Aufdeckung und Verhinderung von Finanzkriminalität" — and that is the entire story. We found no public information on 3-D Secure, SCA exemptions, hosted versus embedded integration, or PCI DSS scope. Fraud screening appears as a bullet, and a bullet is not something a merchant can audit or configure. 1 2 3

Subscriptions & recurring payments

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Charging the same customer again: card-on-file and merchant-initiated transactions, SEPA mandates, subscription logic and dunning — and whether the stored payment credentials can leave with the merchant.

0 — No stored payment methods; every charge needs the customer to pay again.

3 — Card-on-file tokens for repeat charges, but no SEPA mandate handling, no subscription logic, and failed-payment handling left entirely to the merchant.

5 — Stored cards and SEPA Direct Debit mandates, merchant-initiated transactions documented, and basic subscription plans with scheduled charges and failed-payment notifications.

8 — Subscription billing with trials, proration and plan changes, smart retries and dunning, card account updater, mandate management with pre-notification, and a documented process for exporting payment tokens to another provider.

10 — Recurring revenue is a first-class product: usage-based and invoice-based billing, dunning with measurable recovery, token migration in and out documented with a stated timeline and format, and recurring support stated for every local method that allows it.

The Finance Lead

Recurring payments are included at no extra cost, subscriptions are a named product module and failed-payment recovery is advertised, so the basics are visibly covered.

Settlement, reconciliation & API

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Getting the money and knowing what it was: payout cadence and currencies, fee itemisation per transaction, reports that match a bank statement, and an API and webhooks a team can build finance processes on.

0 — Payouts on an unstated schedule, one net amount per payout, and no API or report beyond an on-screen list.

3 — A stated payout schedule and CSV exports, but fees netted invisibly into payouts and an API with thin documentation.

5 — Payout frequency and delay stated, per-transaction fee breakdown in reports, a documented REST API with webhooks and a test mode, and exports that link each payout to its transactions.

8 — Configurable payout schedules and settlement currencies, reconciliation reports that match bank lines, accounting integrations or exports named, a versioned API with idempotency and published rate limits, and a public status page with incident history.

10 — Finance can close the month from the provider's data: interchange and scheme fees itemised per transaction, automated reconciliation to the ledger, a deprecation policy for the API, and full historical data exportable after the contract ends.

Developer documentation, libraries, a status link and test keys on the same endpoints as live are published, balance reconciliation is named as a product module, and payouts are priced at up to five free per month with 0,25 € per additional payout for merchants under 500.000 € a year. But we found no public information on payout delay, per-transaction fee itemisation in reports, webhooks, or exports tying each payout to its transactions — I could not close a month from what is shown. 1 2

Balance reconciliation is a named module, and developers get documentation, libraries, a changelog, a status link and test keys on the same endpoints as live.

The SaaS Founder

The developer story has real substance — test keys with no contract on the same endpoints as live, a changelog, libraries and a status link — and a balance reconciliation module is named alongside payout rules like five free payouts a month. We found no public information on payout frequency or delay, per-transaction fee breakdowns, or webhooks, so a month-end close is a product claim rather than a documented capability. 1 2

The Payments Engineer

The developer section shows documentation, a changelog, libraries and a status link, and the test setup is exactly what I want — test keys with no contract and the same endpoints for test and live.

Payout costs are public — five free per month below 500.000 € annual processing, then 0,25 € each, plus 1 % when the payout currency differs from the main balance — but the schedule and delay behind those payouts are not stated. Developer resources include documentation, libraries, a changelog, a status page and test keys on the same endpoints as live, which is more than a thin shell. We found no public information on per-transaction fee itemisation, webhook coverage, or reports that tie a payout to its transactions; "Saldenabgleich" is a product word, not a specification. 1 2

How this is scored

Who holds the merchant's money under which licence, and what the contract lets the provider do on a bad day: freezes, reserves, termination, chargebacks. Scored on what the terms and the imprint state, not on reputation.

0 — No regulated entity named; terms allow freezing funds and terminating the account at any time with no notice, reason or timeline.

3 — A licence mentioned without the entity, supervisor or register number, and terms that permit reserves and holds with no stated limits.

5 — The regulated entity named with its supervisor and licence type, safeguarding of merchant funds stated, chargeback fees and dispute process published, and a notice period for ordinary termination.

8 — Entity, supervisor, register number and passporting stated per country; reserve and rolling-hold conditions defined with limits and release timelines; freeze and termination terms with reasons and a route to appeal; PCI DSS level and attestation published.

European sovereignty panel opinion

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Who the contracting and regulated entity is, and where transaction and cardholder data are processed and stored. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. The card schemes are US-based for every provider, so the scheme layer is not held against any one vendor; the part the vendor controls is.

0 — Non-EU contracting entity, no statement on where payment data is processed, and subprocessors unnamed.

3 — An EU licensed entity contracts, but payment and customer data is processed outside the EU by default without an explained safeguard, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU contracting and regulated entity, EU processing stated for core payment data, but the group parent or significant parts of the chain (fraud scoring, support, analytics) are non-EU without a stated safeguard.

8 — EU entity and EU licence, payment and cardholder data processed and stored in the EU on named infrastructure, subprocessor list published with locations, and a DPA covering the processing the provider does as processor versus as controller.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, EU entity and licence, every processing location and subprocessor European, European rails (SEPA, Wero or national schemes) offered alongside cards, and certifications published.

An Amsterdam entity holds a Dutch central bank e-money licence, so the contracting party is European, and outside-EEA transfers are acknowledged with EU standard contractual clauses as the mechanism.

Pricing transparency

Show reasoning
How this is scored

Whether a merchant can compute the effective fee for their own mix of cards, countries and methods — including cross-border and currency conversion markups, chargebacks, refunds, payouts and monthly fees — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every rate is a sales conversation.

3 — A headline percentage exists, but it is unclear which cards and countries it covers, and cross-border, currency conversion or chargeback fees are unstated — the effective fee is unknowable.

5 — Rates published per main method with domestic and international cards distinguished, but at least one commonly incurred cost (currency conversion markup, chargeback fee, payout or monthly fee) is missing or "on request".

8 — Every method priced publicly, cross-border and currency conversion markups stated, chargeback, refund and payout fees listed, minimum monthly fees and contract term given, and whether the model is blended or interchange++ said plainly.

10 — Complete fee computability: the effective rate derivable for a given volume, card mix and country mix — interchange++ with the markup published or a blended rate with every exception listed — plus volume tiers, reserves and every ancillary fee on a public page.

This is the strongest part of the file: every captured method carries an exact rate, cards are split by EEA consumer, EEA commercial and non-EEA, payouts carry 0,25 € after five free per month (under 500.000 € a year) plus 1 % for payouts in another currency, and the standard model is plainly pay-per-successful-transaction with no monthly fee. What holds it back is that we found no public information on chargeback or refund fees, the in-transaction currency conversion markup is not stated, and Apple Pay is only given as a rate that depends on the underlying credit card. 2
