Overview
The KYB (Know Your Business) API verifies business entities, retrieves company data, identifies Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), and screens directors against watchlists.
Quick Start
const verification = await txcloud . kyb . verify ({
company: {
name: 'Acme Corp SARL' ,
registration_number: 'RC12345' ,
country: 'MA'
},
checks: [ 'registry' , 'ownership' , 'directors' , 'screening' ]
});
console . log ( 'Status:' , verification . status );
console . log ( 'Legal Name:' , verification . company . legal_name );
console . log ( 'UBOs:' , verification . ubos );

Company Search
Search for companies before verification:
const results = await txcloud . kyb . companies . search ({
query: 'Acme Corp' ,
country: 'MA'
});
for ( const company of results . data ) {
console . log ( ` ${ company . name } - ${ company . registration_number } ` );
}
Ownership Structure
Get complete ownership chain:
const ownership = await txcloud . kyb . companies . getOwnership ( companyId );
console . log ( 'Ownership structure:' );
for ( const owner of ownership . shareholders ) {
console . log ( ` ${ owner . name } : ${ owner . percentage } %` );
if ( owner . type === 'company' ) {
// Nested company - has its own shareholders
console . log ( ' Owned by:' , owner . shareholders );
}
}
UBO Detection
Identify Ultimate Beneficial Owners (25%+ ownership):
const ubos = await txcloud . kyb . companies . getUBOs ( companyId );
for ( const ubo of ubos . data ) {
console . log ( `UBO: ${ ubo . name } ` );
console . log ( ` Ownership: ${ ubo . ownership_percentage } %` );
console . log ( ` Control Type: ${ ubo . control_type } ` );
console . log ( ` Verified: ${ ubo . verification_status } ` );
}
Director Screening
Screen directors against watchlists:
const directors = await txcloud . kyb . companies . getDirectors ( companyId );
for ( const director of directors . data ) {
if ( director . screening . pep ) {
console . log ( `β οΈ ${ director . name } is a PEP` );
}
if ( director . screening . sanctions ) {
console . log ( `π¨ ${ director . name } has sanctions match` );
}
}
