Fintech Belgium Media Podcast - DFS24 - Basikon

In this episode Koen is joined by Renaud Winand from Basikon to explore how modern lending and leasing technology is transforming financial services. With flexibility and integration now at the core of the industry, Basikon is leading the charge to reshape financial operations through their revolutionary, adaptable platform. Founded by industry veterans who experienced the shortcomings of legacy systems, Basikon takes a refreshingly innovative approach. Their API-first architecture and embedded workflows enable financial institutions to move past operational rigidity while ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.

Renaud discusses the contrast between implementing their solutions for greenfield startups and established institutions. Startups benefit from rapid deployment and streamlined processes, while established players face challenges in change management—often needing to shed outdated, non-differentiated processes to embrace simplicity. Their guiding principle? "Keep it stupidly simple." Their conversation also delves into broader trends shaping the financial landscape. Topics include the rise of embedded finance, AI’s impact on credit decisioning, and the shift toward real-time lending. Renaud even challenges the belief that complex products like mortgages can't be simplified, proposing that decision-making processes across financial services can and should be accelerated.
