KYB Process with WebID
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.
