Entity & counterparty data on demand.
Resolve any company to its verified legal identity and map the structure behind it, on demand — no master file to maintain, no full registry to license. Pass in a name, an identifier, or an LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) and receive the verified legal entity, its LEI, the corporate hierarchy it sits within — parents, subsidiaries, ultimate parent — and the ownership structure around it. One entity in, a clean, connected record out, billed per call.
Built for teams that need a clean counterparty record before the next step.
Four patterns where per-call entity resolution pays for itself immediately. Each one replaces a manual research step or a stale master-file lookup.
Match any messy name to the one verified legal entity.
The anchor case. Counterparty names arrive inconsistently spelled, abbreviated, or aliased. Pass in what you have — a name fragment, an internal ID, or an LEI — and get back the verified legal entity with all its identifiers attached. Replaces a manual lookup or a fuzzy-match rule that misses variants. High frequency, single entity, naturally priced per call.
Verify a new client or vendor and pull its ownership structure on the spot.
When a new counterparty first appears — a new client, a new vendor, a new trading partner — verify the entity and retrieve its full corporate hierarchy and ownership chain in a single call. Feeds Know Your Business (KYB) and due-diligence workflows without waiting on a manual research pass or an overnight data refresh.
See who ultimately owns a counterparty before aggregating exposure.
A legal entity name alone doesn't reveal the group it belongs to. Query one entity to retrieve the full ownership chain — direct owners, intermediate holding companies, and ultimate parent — so you can aggregate total exposure to the real controlling party. Flags concentration risk that the trading name alone would hide.
Resolve the real entity before running a sanctions check.
Screening an alias or an abbreviated name produces false positives and missed hits in equal measure. Resolve to the verified legal entity first, then run the watchlist check against the actual party and its known owners. One resolution call before the screen cuts both failure modes.
One entity in, verified record out.
Your first resolved entity record returns in under a second. No registry contract, no onboarding call, no minimum spend — you only pay when a call returns a result.
- Billed per call
- No registry license required
The honest answers.
If something below doesn't cover your case, ping us — we answer directly, no sales process.
What can I pass in as an identifier?
+
Company name (exact or approximate), LEI, domestic registration number, or internal counterparty ID. Any of these resolves to the verified legal entity. For name inputs, the API applies matching logic to handle common abbreviations, misspellings, and trading-name variants.
What does a single call return?
+
Verified legal entity: registered name, jurisdiction, legal status, and registration number. LEI: the globally recognised Legal Entity Identifier and its issuing authority. Corporate hierarchy: direct parent, intermediate holding companies, ultimate parent, and known subsidiaries. Ownership structure: direct and indirect owners with percentage thresholds where available.
What if the entity can't be matched?
+
Unmatched calls cost zero. The API returns a clear no-match response so your workflow can route unresolved entities to a manual review queue without paying for a failed lookup.
How current is the data?
+
LEI data is refreshed from the Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF) on a daily basis. Corporate hierarchy and ownership data is updated as registrations and filings change. For time-sensitive compliance decisions, we recommend calling at the point of need rather than relying on a cached result.
How is this different from licensing a full entity registry?
+
A full registry gives you a bulk file or a standing database subscription priced for that scale. This is one endpoint billed per call. If you need to resolve individual counterparties on demand — at trade ingestion, at onboarding, at screening time — the per-call model costs a fraction of a registry license for the same result.
Is this suitable for KYB and due-diligence workflows?
+
Yes. The ownership and hierarchy data returned is appropriate for Know Your Business (KYB) and third-party due-diligence workflows. For regulated KYC decisions that require certified data with a formal audit trail, verify your specific regulatory requirements with your compliance team.
Can I use this inside an automated workflow or agent?
+
Yes. The endpoint is designed for agent and workflow use — one entity in, a structured record out, billed per resolved result. There is no UI requirement and no human-in-the-loop step.
