How it works

KYB with Transparency Register Data: AML-Compliant and Valid.

CorporateID instantly transmits the information and documents related to the company and its beneficial owners as defined in § 3 of the German Money Laundering Act (GwG), enabling the legally compliant identification of these legal entities and their Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) as part of the Know Your Business (KYB) process.

Enter the company name. Done!

Simply enter the name of the company to be identified into a search mask that corresponds to a WebID API. CorporateID takes care of the rest.

Transparency Register as a Reliable Primary Source for Data Retrieval

The documented inspection pursuant to § 12 (2) of the German Money Laundering Act (GwG) of the listed information and data from the Transparency Register and Commercial Register is carried out manually by analysts at the Bundesanzeiger. The Bundesanzeiger, which serves as the registry-keeping authority of the Unternehmensregister (Company Register), is published by the Federal Ministry of Justice.

Data transfer

The necessary information and documents on the legal entity or partnership and its beneficial owners are usually transferred from the Bundesanzeiger, the official publication of the German government, via next-day delivery as a status and file response. This is a response file containing the relevant information.

Provision and completion of the verification process

Once the data transfer is complete, CorporateID provides the relevant company and UBO data in both PDF and JSON formats, marking the completion of the CorporateID process.

Advantages

Optimally initiate the Know-Your-Business process

**Made in Germany:** With CorporateID, companies can initiate the Know Your Business (KYB) process in compliance with the German Money Laundering Act (GwG) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations for all types of corporate entities—currently available for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the UK, with more countries to follow soon. The provision of company data for entities in other countries is continuously being expanded.
AddOns

GwG-/AML-Compliant Identification of Beneficial Owners (UBOs)

The provision of information and data on legal entities or partnerships within the KYB process must also include an identification check of the beneficial owners within the meaning of § 3 GwG. For this purpose, GwG/AML-compliant online identification solutions from WebID can be used, for example, to make even the UBO-identification, efficient, and simple.
