Interview with Nina Laurent, CMO at VeltisPay

Marketing a fintech company in 2025 means going beyond flashy slogans. For Nina Laurent, CMO at VeltisPay, it’s about trust, transparency, and education — especially when dealing with high-risk verticals like affiliate platforms, digital influencers, or adult content marketplaces.

We sat down with Nina to explore how she communicates technical products to non-technical decision makers and how VeltisPay builds brand trust in a landscape full of generic EMI offers.


Who is Nina Laurent?

A French-Luxembourgish marketing executive, Nina comes from a background in compliance-first fintech, having worked previously at Finologee and a leading AML tech firm. Since joining VeltisPay in 2022, she’s driven brand positioning, merchant onboarding flows, and content strategy — helping turn a small PSP into a niche powerhouse for regulated but underserved digital verticals.


Interview

What is VeltisPay’s core proposition?
We are a Luxembourg-based PSP helping EU-based digital businesses access fast SEPA rails, real IBANs, and Open Banking APIs — with regulatory clarity.

What services do you offer?

  • SEPA Credit Transfer
  • SEPA Instant (depending on counterparty)
  • Named IBANs (LU, BE)
  • Open Banking PIS flows
  • Embedded onboarding for platforms
  • Affiliate payout structuring
  • Dashboard + webhook integrations

What makes you different from mainstream EMIs?

  • We specialize in what they avoid: adult, affiliate, high-velocity flows.
  • We’re transparent: pricing, support, and risk appetite are clear upfront.
  • We’re boutique — that means personal onboarding and human compliance reviews.

What clients do you serve best?

  • Influencer monetization platforms
  • Paid content creators
  • Regulated adult sites (with age & performer verification)
  • Affiliate programs in e-commerce, fintech, and media
  • EU-based online coaching and education platforms

What is your go-to-market strategy?
Partner-first. We work with affiliate networks, compliance consultants, and even white-label ISOs.

Do you run marketing in-house or outsourced?
Fully in-house. Education is core: we produce tutorials, flow charts, and even KYB kits for new merchants.

How do you build trust in “grey area” industries?
By being radically clear:

  • We define what’s acceptable vs. rejected
  • We show onboarding timelines and pricing
  • We don’t hide behind vague “case-by-case” language

How is your SEPA connectivity managed?
We are a technical distributor under a Luxembourg EMI. Our SEPA connectivity is direct for SCT, and routed via clearing partners for SCT Inst.

Do you offer Open Banking?
Yes — PIS is active. Clients can trigger top-ups via bank login instead of card payments.

Do you issue IBANs?
Yes — for verified businesses, we issue LU and BE IBANs (named, not pooled).

What are your average onboarding times?

  • 2–3 days for low-risk
  • 5–7 days for affiliate/adult
  • Crypto: case-by-case, usually >10 days and requires full MiCA readiness

What’s the main misconception about VeltisPay?
That we’re high-risk because we accept high-risk clients. In truth, we’re extremely selective and have strong KYB processes.

What tools do you use to explain your service?

  • Funnel diagrams
  • SEPA flow simulators
  • Whiteboard videos
  • Transparent onboarding checklists

How do you price?

  • IBAN: €10/month
  • SEPA payout: €0.30–0.50
  • Instant: €0.50–0.70
  • KYB: €3 per file
    No setup fee, but minimum monthly usage applies.

Do you offer platform-level onboarding?
Yes — clients can onboard freelancers, performers, affiliates via hosted KYC modules.

What’s your content strategy?
Education > Advertising.

  • SEO content
  • Step-by-step guides
  • Risk playbooks by vertical
  • KYB documentation templates

What’s next for VeltisPay?

  • Web3-compatible flows (custody-less, fiat rails only)
  • Spanish and Polish language dashboard
  • ISO agent partner program for fintech consultants
