Nynke Postma, who joins as Head of Business Development, brings over 20 years of experience in financial services.

Postma will be based in Singapore and report to Chief Revenue Officer Steve Hadaway. In her new role, she aims to maximise the potential and value that customers experience through Encompass’ CDI product propositions.

Blacksmith KYC was established as part of ING Labs Singapore with a mission to enhance Know Your Customer (KYC) processes for the financial industry. The platform allows banks to configure their Customer Due Diligence (CDD) requirements within a Digital Policy Manager, streamlining data collection and automating KYC processes to provide analysts with valuable risk insights.

Her passion and vision for Blacksmith KYC led to great success, as she was the driving force behind the growth of a product that brings tangible efficiencies, with the next chapter of that journey only beginning at Encompass.
“We are committed to offering the very best, both in terms of innovation and expertise, as we move forward with our CDI mission, and bringing someone of Nynke’s calibre on board is another milestone that shows there is much to be positive about for the business and our customers in the months and years to come.”
Nynke Postma, Head of Business Development at Encompass Corporation, added, “I am excited and proud to be able to continue the Blacksmith story as part of Encompass. Having witnessed the possibilities of the platform and the value it holds for banks as we brought the product to life, I relish the chance to take it even further as part of the Encompass team, creating a diversified product portfolio and competitive offering tailored to our customers’ needs. At Encompass, we have all the ingredients to create game-changing outcomes with the delivery of CDI.”
