Manage episode 383371249 series 3403219
Ever wondered about the journey of the oldest FinTech in Belgium? Meet our guest, Frank Verhaest, a banking evangelist at the Isabel Group. He takes us through their riveting evolution from a joint venture between the four largest banks in Belgium to a unified payment platform that now includes 27 banks. From using diskettes and CDs to operating an internet-based platform, Isabel 6, the Isabel Group's transformation is nothing short of remarkable.
We’ll explore the group's strategic acquisitions that have reshaped its positioning and propelled it into new realms, such as the world of open banking through Ibanity. Frank also talks about the future of data exchange with PSD3 and how Isabel Group intends to stitch different solutions together to provide a holistic approach to banks. As a bonus, we delve into the impact of blockchain technology and its application in Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols.
