GoCardless押注英国VRP授权将使银行支付成为默认:FY25营收1.609亿英镑,与Mollie达成交易
GoCardless押注英国VRP开放银行授权将使银行支付成为默认;FY25营收1.609亿英镑,2025年同意被Mollie收购
GoCardless
做的是什么生意
London bank-payment company: collects recurring and one-off payments for 100,000+ businesses via direct debit, open banking (Instant Bank Pay / VRP) and real-time rails across 30+ countries.
起因
Founded in London in 2011 by Hiroki Takeuchi, Tom Blomfield and Matt Robinson to fix recurring payments for SMEs with direct debit. From 2019 GoCardless placed an explicit bet on VRP: it took the first live transaction through a sandbox built by the OBIE and, as UK regulators pushed the nine largest banks to build VRP for sweeping, launched Instant Bank Pay so merchants could collect one-off and variable recurring payments through open banking.
经过
Dec 2023: rewards-card fintech Yonder went live paying credit-card balances via Instant Bank Pay. Jan 2024: JustGiving made GoCardless its exclusive Open Banking payment provider, replacing American Express for one-off giving. Sep 2024: the CMA confirmed all nine mandated banks had completed the Open Banking Roadmap, including VRP for sweeping. FY25 (year to Jun 2025): group turnover £160.9M, up 22%; payment volume £79.2bn, doubled partly by the Sep 2024 Nuapay acquisition; first EBITDA-positive quarter on an adjusted basis. Dec 2025: Octopus Energy moved 5.5M accounts and £12bn of payments to GoCardless in one of the UK's largest direct-debit migrations.
结果
Still running and being acquired: in Dec 2025 GoCardless agreed to be acquired by Mollie, and in 2026 it plans to launch commercial VRP — branded Recurring Pay by Bank — claiming 100% payer coverage from day one and 99.5% uptime.
背景
GoCardless是一家伦敦银行支付公司,为超过10万家企业收集经常性和一次性付款。其押注(自2019年可见)是开放银行的变额经常性付款(VRP)将成为默认支付轨道——比直接借记更灵活,比卡片更便宜——而GoCardless,已经是直接借记层,将成为自然的推动者。
监管开放分阶段到来。CMA的零售银行市场调查令要求英国九大银行提供商建立开放银行,包括用于资金归集的VRP;2024年9月,CMA确认最后几家银行(Danske、Bank of Ireland、Allied Irish Bank)已完成路线图。GoCardless一直在铺设轨道:2019年通过OBIE沙盒完成了首笔VRP交易,与NatWest进行了商业VRP试点,将VRP作为即时银行支付推出,并签约Yonder(2023年12月)和JustGiving(2024年1月)作为实际客户。
这个押注在财务上得到了支持。在FY25(截至2025年6月),集团营收增长22%至1.609亿英镑,支付量达到792亿英镑,公司调整后首次实现EBITDA正季度。2025年12月,GoCardless同意被Mollie收购,并计划在2026年推出商业VRP,定位在英国下一个开放银行阶段之内。
这件事要成立,得有什么
- GoCardless将监管机构视为共同建设者:它在指令完成前就执行了VRP交易,因此当CMA9开放轨道时,它已经准备好。
- 它将新轨道与现有轨道相结合——即时银行支付与直接借记后备——这降低了对不支持VRP的银行早期客户的风险。
- 参考客户(Yonder、JustGiving,后来是Octopus Energy的120亿英镑迁移)给了产品可信度,这是独立VRP初创公司所缺乏的。
- 数量经济复合:FY25支付量792亿英镑和10万+商户给了它定价权和被Mollie收购的理由。
可借鉴之处
监管指令创造轨道,而非赢家:GoCardless赢得VRP时刻,因为它已作为直接借记层深耕十年——当CMA开放轨道时,它可以立即打包。
后续进展
截至2026年9月,GoCardless仍在独立运营,而Mollie收购尚未完成。它报告有10万+企业,年支付量1300亿美元+,覆盖30多个国家,在FY25调整后首次实现EBITDA正季度,预计FY26将首次实现调整后EBITDA正年度。2026年晚些时候,它计划推出商业VRP(Recurring Pay by Bank),声称100%付款人覆盖和99.5%正常运转时间。
