Technical details

Collect, verify and monitor information about beneficial owners

Beneficial owner refers to a person who, alone or together with someone else, ultimately owns or controls a company or organization, or an individual for whose benefit someone else acts. Checking who the beneficial owners of a company are, is part of the know your customer-process (KYC) and is mandatory, just like the requirements to check the customer against sanctions- and PEP lists. According to the EU Money Laundering Directive, all EU countries must have a register of beneficial owners, in order for banks and authorities to access who is behind a company. In the long run it will also help to fight money laundering and terrorist financing.

The API has two different endpoints, which means that you can search for and control a beneficial owner through two different paths.

Either you enter an organizational number and get a list of all beneficial owners in a company, or you enter a social security number and get a list of all companies in which the individual is a beneficial owner of.
