Our promise:
Taming your technical tangles
When did the dealing room change from a pressure cooker filled with colour and noise – “Buy! Buy!” “Sell! Sell!” – to row after row of computer screens? Electronic trading just kind of… happened. The world of trading accepted a few bits here, a few bytes there – and then, all of a sudden, things got tangled.
At Varrlyn, we take processes apart. We clarify, design and implement the most intricate financial IT projects; as a complete custom-designed package, or in parts. If the tangle turns out too wild to tame, we "simply" build a new IT landscape from scratch.
Our aim is to make our clients’ systems run without a hitch. We help financial institutions with system implementations and provide some serious application support, concentrating on the way they process transactions and deploy reporting applications.

Varrlyn Podcast 8. 15 years of Varrlyn: from guts to glory
What does it take to build a boutique consultancy that thrives for 15 years in the competitive world of financial markets?
In this special anniversary episode, host Marianne Aalders sits down with the founders of Varrlyn to uncover the story behind the company’s steady rise. What began in 2010 with a contract in hand, youthful ambition, and many shawarma-fueled late nights, has grown into a trusted firm of thirty professionals specializing in capital markets and financial transformation.
Founders Martin Defauwes, Stephan van der Windt, and Philip van den Emster reflect on their journey—from launching during the aftermath of the financial crisis to becoming a go-to partner for Murex implementations and beyond. They share proud milestones, defining challenges, and the deliberate choice to remain independent and true to their culture.
This episode offers a candid, inspiring look at what it means to grow without losing your DNA.
