New Podcast Episode: Rethinking Onboarding

In this episode, Koen Marcel K Vanderhoydonk is joined by Karel-Lodewyck Lefere from NABU to unpack why KYC in payments has become so heavy and how it can be made almost invisible through smart data orchestration, deep KYC and thoughtful UX. Their conversation explores an approach that prefills profiles from trusted sources, leverages AI to verify real-world identities and provides analysts with clear, auditable evidence.

We also dive into the mission to move from onboarding to “no boarding,” why payments face heightened AML and sanctions scrutiny and how to balance seamless user experience with regulatory obligations. As well as how to navigate EU AMLD6, UBO access, and national eID schemes. Listeners will also hear how API orchestration across countries, deep checks on unstructured data and analyst-first design make onboarding faster, fairer and fully compliant therefore showing that better KYC can actually improve access, trust and efficiency.
