New Podcast Episode: Belgium’s Business Data Explained: Compliance, Risk and Real-Time KYB

In this episode, Koen Marcel K Vanderhoydonk is joined by Toon Vanagt from Data.be to connect the dots between KYB, UBO rules and open data, showing how structured official records can cut risk and accelerate onboarding. As well as explain on how businesses can move from reactive checks to perpetual compliance while keeping human oversight at the center of decision-making.

The discussion covers KYB across onboarding, credit and ongoing monitoring, the evolving landscape of UBO transparency and access limits, and how scoring deltas between claims and official data strengthens trust. We also explore Europe’s mix of open and paid registers, the role of AI with guardrails and accountability and hybrid workflows that combine insourced banking cores with vendors handling edge cases. 

Listeners will come away with practical guidance for integrating KYB solutions, implementing human-in-the-loop processes and navigating a fast-changing compliance landscape.
