Mollie to acquire GoCardless - Customer FAQs
What’s the news?
Mollie, one of Europe’s fastest-growing financial service providers, has announced an agreement to acquire GoCardless.
The acquisition unites two highly complementary platforms. GoCardless customers gain access to Mollie's strong local and card payments, whilst Mollie customers benefit from GoCardless's expertise in account-to-account payments, including open banking and a global direct debit network covering 38 countries. Together, we can serve a wider range of customers, in more markets, and continue to support them as you scale.
The deal is expected to close mid-2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
What will this mean for existing GoCardless customers?
There are no immediate changes for GoCardless customers. It’s business as usual with the same products, service and GoCardless contacts you know, and there is no action for you to take.
In the future, you’ll get access to a broader, more powerful payment offering all in one platform -- covering cards, local payment methods, open banking and more.
We’ll share updates as the integration progresses and new benefits become available. In the meantime, thank you for your continued trust in GoCardless.

The middle aged ladies who don't work and have no concept of what it costs to run a business and provide a decent incom, but apparently know what you should be charging. Usually happy to throw in "while you're there could you just...." too.
One last year asked me to clean their conservatory roof, I gave my price - which was low considering it was a glass one covered in algae. First words out were "well you saw me coming, didn't you?"
No I didn't, but that reply said all I needed to know. Quietly dumped and blocked.
They spend £25,000 on a conservatory and begrudge paying £100 to have the roof cleaned once a year.
I also find this very strange......

My accountant is suggesting Sage as their prefered choice of software would be good to hear from anyone who has already started using this and what was involved in setting it up and synchronizing your business bank account to it.
Sage is a very reputable company. Back in the 1990's when I was involved in a Ltd company we had Sage as our accounting system software and later sold it to customers and my wife trained people on it.

Bridging software is all that's needed for sending 3 figures a quarter.
