YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Digital-resilience obligations reshape operating priorities
- Since January 2025, DORA has required Dutch financial firms to demonstrate ICT risk controls, incident reporting, resilience tests and third-party oversight.
- To turn these obligations into action, YCP designs practical control roadmaps, supplier governance and testing priorities suited to existing operating models.
Financial-crime controls face higher volumes and scrutiny
- More than 2 million unusual transactions are reported annually in the Netherlands, making effective KYC reviews and transaction monitoring critical to control costs.
- YCP helps refine risk segmentation, KYC journeys and monitoring operations, improving investigative focus while reducing unnecessary manual workload.
Rate normalization puts profitability and scale in focus
- ECB deposit rates fell from 4.0% in 2023 to 2.0% by mid-2025, pressuring interest-income growth and intensifying the need for efficient scale.
- Through pricing, portfolio and cost diagnostics, YCP identifies practical levers to protect margins, simplify operations and strengthen customer value.
Sustainability reporting demands reliable decision-ready data
- Firms already subject to NFRD, generally those with over 500 employees, began CSRD reporting on 2024 data amid shifting EU requirements.
- YCP connects materiality assessments, data governance and reporting processes, helping teams build credible disclosures that also inform strategy.

Fintech in SEA: Unlocking Opportunities in Southeast Asia's Financial Landscape
Southeast Asia’s fintech sector is expanding rapidly due to digital adoption and large underbanked populations. Digital payments lead the market, while digital lending is emerging as the fastest-growing revenue segment. Long-term growth will depend on enabling regulation, strong infrastructure, and collaboration to deepen financial inclusion.
The Declining Profitability Trend in Cambodia's Banks: The Impact of Rising Costs and NPLs
Cambodia’s banking sector is facing declining profitability amid higher funding costs, slower loan growth, and rising NPLs. While macro pressures persist, banks can stabilize performance through tighter cost control, improved credit risk management, and disciplined growth, particularly in personal lending portfolios.
Strategic Growth through Programmatic M&A of Small to Medium-Sized Companies in Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia’s complex markets, programmatic M&A offers a flexible alternative to slow organic expansion and high-risk large deals. By pursuing smaller, repeat acquisitions, companies can enter markets faster, build local capabilities, and manage risk, provided strong sourcing, diligence, and integration discipline are in place.
Supply Chain Finance in Southeast Asia
As Southeast Asia’s supply chains evolve under China+1 strategies, working capital constraints are intensifying. Supply chain finance offers a way to unlock liquidity, support suppliers, and strengthen resilience through buyer-led programs and digital platforms. Regulatory alignment and greater SME awareness can further drive adoption.
