## Source summary

The Paypers reports that Mollie has launched Pay by Bank in the Netherlands and the UK, combining its merchant checkout with GoCardless’s Open Banking connections. The product supports one-off payments and captures the payer’s IBAN to support subsequent Direct Debit relationships. Expansion elsewhere in Europe is planned through 2027; a public bank-performance page accompanies the launch.

## Why it matters

The launch adds an embedded account-to-account option without requiring a separate consumer app. Fewer checkout steps and payment guarantees are provider claims, not independently measured conversion gains; the item is a product launch, not a newly completed acquisition.

## Key numbers

No independently checkable key number was extracted from this report.
