On February 24, Marqeta reported earnings for the full-year 2025, capped by a Q4 where Total Processing Volume/TPV surged 36% year-over-year to $109 billion. Full-year TPV reached $383 billion, an increase of 31% over 2024, driven by expansion in Europe and strong demand for modern card issuing across various use cases.
