Q1 2026: Results We’re Proud Of

The Rankings Moved

In the Unicorns.lt startup ranking, measured by taxes paid, VIALET moved from #52 to #35. A 17-position jump in a single quarter.

In the Bank of Lithuania’s EMI rankings, we entered the top 10 for income for the first time, landing at #10. Payment volume moved to #17.

These are not vanity metrics. They are evidence of infrastructure holding up under real growth conditions.

 

The Business

Client numbers grew strongly year on year. Payment volumes across SEPA and card acquiring saw significant increases, with our e-commerce vertical hitting new monthly highs. The merchant base grew substantially, the acquiring product is finding its footing.

Revenue growth outpaced cost growth. That gap is the point.

 

The Funds We Hold

VIALET safeguards over €107M in client funds. Every euro kept separate from company operations, protected, and reconciled daily across 65 bank accounts with 15 banking partners.

Safeguarding is not a compliance checkbox. It is the operational proof of what trust means in practice.

 

The Team

The team reached 91 people in Q1. Eleven new colleagues joined across compliance, finance, KYC, and engineering. Engineering saw the largest single intake, five new hires including a Head of Engineering, Lead Platform Engineer, and Lead QA Automation Engineer.

Growth in headcount is not the milestone. Building the right team to carry the next phase — that is.

 

Built on Reliability

“We recently migrated the entire setup for how we process most of our outgoing and incoming payments, all with zero downtime and without service breaks. While this didn’t introduce any new features or visible changes for our clients, we’re always eager to double down on making the experience seamless.”

— Marius Balčytis, CTO
