First Day<br />
How to turn payments into profit<br />
Lennart Koopmans, CEO, Magnius and Neil Smith, Head<br />
of Business Development, UK,EMEA & APAC, Forter<br />
Neil Smith Lennart Koopmans<br />
Lennart started his first business at the age of 22. His first project, right after graduating in Technical Business Administration,<br />
was to establish a new business unit within a company. It was during that time that Lennart got infected with the<br />
entrepreneurial disease. After this first project, he founded multiple companies: an internet marketing agency, an online<br />
fashion company, an IT consultancy practice and Magnius in 2015. Why Magnius? ‘When I had my fashion company I used<br />
a PSP to handle all my payments,’ Lennart begins. ‘On the hand super convenient, on the other hand one big black box. I<br />
had for example no idea why a payment was declined and my PSP did not answer my questions about specific payments.’<br />
As a merchant, you can probably imagine how frustrating this was. After Lennart sold this ecommerce company, he realised<br />
he could do something about the payment troubles he experienced as a merchant. ‘This is how Magnius was born. I wanted<br />
to create a product that makes the payment industry more efficient and also gives merchants insights and control about their<br />
payments.’ Since there are too many merchants in the world to help each and everyone individually, Magnius is also available<br />
(and suitable!) for PSPs, MSPs and even banks. ‘This way,’ Lennart explains, ‘we enable as many merchants as possible to<br />
offer easy and secure payment options to their customers.’ ‘The thing is, there are continuously new techniques and new<br />
regulations introduced in our industry. For a non-specialized company, it is almost impossible to stay up to date about all of<br />
this. Let alone to attune your payment platform to it. But if you do not continuously update your products and services, your<br />
platform will become redundant. We keep track of trends, new techniques and regulations. We are the first ones to implement<br />
them. This way, our clients are assured of a topnotch payment platform. We call it an IPP: the Intelligent Payment Platform.’<br />
You can book Lennart as a (keynote) speaker about the payment industry. On stage, or in a expert panel, he will share his<br />
thoughts on how to make the payment industry more comprehensible and accessible. Lennart is also the father of two<br />
beautiful daughters (4 and 0). This year, he and his family will move to a new-build home in Oegstgeest, a place close to the<br />
sea and lots of nature around.<br />
A result orientated, banking, payments, Fraud, loyalty and financial services professional, currently Head of Business<br />
Development, UK,EMEA & APAC at Forter Inc. This includes the positioning of Forters fraud solutions and services to<br />
Merchants, Acquirers, PSP, Issuers and other financial services partners. The platform and products allow for the fraud<br />
decisions, machine learning and AI to protect our clients plus extend this beyond conventional transactions into “Person<br />
data”. The role comprises of expertise in regulations changes including but not limited PSD2, SCA & 3DS. Expertise during<br />
my time in the payments industry allows for strategic inputs into proximity commerce, HCE, tokenisation, NFC payments,<br />
3DS 2.0, GDPR, PSD2 & EMV and fraud, risk and security. The creation of strategy in the mobile and payments space,<br />
monetising the eco system and driving ROI through cost reduction whilst maintaining a tight P&L balance sheet, ensures a<br />
cohesive network of retail banks and merchants. In addition, other areas of expertise and product knowledge would be in the<br />
VAS (Value Added Services) Chip & PIN and PCI DSS. I have worked in a number of organizations where technology meets<br />
financial services and retail, and have held a variety of specialist, strategic, technical, commercial, consulting and leadership<br />
roles inclusive of Fraud, Risk and Compliance. Held senior positions in VISA, FDR, FIS and was also an Associate Member<br />
of a key business consultancy firm ‘The Business Performance Consultancy Group’ and ‘The International Investor’<br />
among others. A distinctive individual who masters negotiations, thought leadership and innovation across a range of product<br />
portfolios, whilst extending his business negotiations with key strategic partners across the global commercial industry and<br />
bankingenvironments. A member of the IAFCI (International Association Financial Crime Investigations) and is CFCI qualified<br />
