Merchant onboarding
Verify the business before you settle funds to it.
Company registries, tax identifiers, directors and shareholders, screened against business watchlists and pulled together into one dossier on the entity rather than a pile of unrelated lookups.
One dossier on the entity — and every person behind it screened as an individual.
By registration number or by name, across national registries and a global company search.
Legal name, status, incorporation date, registered address and tax identifier — matched against what the customer told you.
Directors and shareholders, each screenable as an individual against sanctions and PEP lists.
Registry, tax, credit exposure and watchlist results filed under one entity, with a report you can hand to a committee.
Every product on this page shares the same request shape, the same response envelope and the same audit trail. Adding one later is a new value in service, not a new integration.

}Verify the business before you settle funds to it.
Registry, tax and credit exposure in one view.
Screen the entity and the people who control it together.
Worth knowing. Registry coverage differs by country: some publish directors, some only status and address. The dossier says which fields the registry actually returned rather than leaving a blank that reads as "none".
