Since its inception in 2004, Mollie has established itself as one of Europe's most trusted fintech companies by eliminating financial bureaucracy for businesses. The company's unified platform for payment solutions and financial management is specifically designed to accelerate growth, streamline processes and reduce costs for customers. Now, Mollie chooses Sweden as the start of its expansion in the Nordics, the 8th largest e-commerce market in Europe. With a strong product for customers operating both nationally, internationally in Europe, online and offline, along with a hyperlocal expansion strategy, Mollie wants to contribute to the growth of Swedish companies.
‘Sweden, with its position as a digital pioneer, is a strategically important market for Mollie,’ says Koen Köppen, CEO of Mollie. ‘Our vision is to be more than a payment provider for our customers to be more than a payment provider - we will be a strategic growth partner that drives profitability for businesses of all sizes by simplifying and innovating the industry. As the eighth largest e-commerce market in Europe, we understand the needs of Swedish companies very well and look forward to contributing with our presence,’ continues Mr Köppen.
The hyperlocal strategy is based on tailoring both the product offering and customer support for each market Mollie enters. For Sweden, this means that Mollie offers local payment methods such as Swish alongside international solutions such as Apple Pay, PayPal, Klarna and others, with teams in Stockholm and Gothenburg for seamless onboarding and support in local language.
Mollie has high ambitions for the Nordic region and Europe, and to further increase the pace of expansion, Swedish Markus Granström has been recruited as GM of Expansion and VP Product.
"It is incredibly fun to be part of Mollie in the phase we are in now. Our product is leading and we will always continue to push the boundaries in our product development to provide even more benefits and create growth opportunities for our customers" comments Markus Grundström, Head of Expansion and VP Product.
The first Swedish customer on the platform is Flattered.
"Working with Mollie is really improving our offering for our customers and how we work. Their extensive coverage of EU payment methods allows us to reach a broader audience, making it easier for our customers to shop with us. The integration process is seamless and straightforward, enabling us to get up and running in no time. Additionally, with the option to activate Swish as a local payment method through Mollie, we will soon enhance our customer experience in Sweden as well. We've also been impressed by the quick turnaround times, and are excited about our future together!" comments Gustav Lidén, Founder & CEO Flattered.
