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.

Q4 saw Marqeta near GAAP break-even, reporting a net loss of just over $1 million, a 95% improvement compared to the same period in 2024.
