OAKLAND, Calif.: Marqeta, Inc. (NASDAQ: MQ), the modern card issuing platform, today announced that it has expanded its portfolio of account and money movement tools into 30 additional European countries through its collaboration with Banking Circle, a leading global bank licensed in Luxembourg and regulated by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF). The company’s expanded offering enables businesses across Europe to enrich their card programs with embedded virtual accounts and multi-rail payment capabilities, creating more personalized experiences that drive deeper customer engagement.

The portfolio expansion builds on Marqeta’s strong momentum in the region, underscored by its 8x growth in total processing volume (TPV) for its European card programs from 2022 to 2025, as well as its acquisition of TransactPay in 2025. The addition of TransactPay brought full program management and the handling of bank, network, and regulatory relationships to Marqeta’s customers across Europe. With the acquisition of TransactPay, Marqeta can enable fully licensed e-money capabilities to support multi-currency virtual accounts and international payments across consumer and commercial card programs.

“Europe represents one of our most important growth markets, and bringing these tools to multinational and regional businesses enables them to build the innovative payment experiences that are crucial to their success,” said Anthony Peculic, Interim Chief Product Officer at Marqeta. “By providing a single platform for card issuing, account and money movement, and program management, we’re enabling our customers to launch and scale the card programs their customers rely on with greater simplicity, flexibility, and efficiency.”

“Banking Circle’s mission has always been to make global payments faster, simpler and more accessible for businesses,” said Mikkel Gronlykke, President of Banking Circle. “Our relationship with Marqeta combines full account functionality and money movement capabilities with a proven card issuing platform, giving businesses in Europe a powerful foundation for building financial products that simplify how money moves.”

With a platform built to meet local regulatory requirements, including PSD2 and GDPR, and backed by deep in-market expertise, Marqeta simplifies the launching of card programs with account and money movement capabilities for businesses across Europe. The company also offers full card program management for the region, which includes card fulfillment, fraud management, dispute resolution, BIN sponsorship, and reporting and reconciliations. Key elements of Marqeta’s portfolio include:

• Virtual accounts and digital wallet functionality linked to a debit card, supporting multiple currencies and providing a place to store funds embedded within existing offerings, subject to applicable safeguarding requirements.
