Company and beneficial-ownership data
Know who is behind every company.
NODE ID identifies companies and their ultimate beneficial owners from official registers, keeps the evidence behind every fact, and tells you when something changes.
Registers are fragmented. Ownership is opaque.
Compliance teams need to know who they are dealing with. The information exists, but it is scattered, inconsistent and hard to rely on.
Every country, its own register
Formats, identifiers, languages and access rules change from one register to the next, and some registers offer nothing but a web portal.
Ownership hides behind layers
Holding chains cross borders, and many beneficial-ownership registers are closed or open only to obliged entities.
A check starts ageing the next day
Directors resign, addresses move, owners sell. A file verified at onboarding drifts out of date without anyone noticing.
One identification layer, built on primary sources
NODE ID brings company data and ownership together in one place, and keeps track of where each fact comes from.
- Official registers first. Where a register offers an API or open data, NODE ID reads it directly. A third-party provider only fills the gaps.
- Every fact with its source. Each value records where it came from, how it was obtained and when.
- Ownership up to the ultimate beneficial owner, computed across layers and jurisdictions.
- Changes, not snapshots. Follow a company and be told when its status, officers or owners change.
- The rules of each register applied. Access basis, licence and attribution are respected register by register.
What NODE ID does
Four capabilities, one data model.
Company data
Search by name, registration number, VAT number, LEI or website. Get identity, legal form, status, address and officers from the register.
Ownership and UBO
Shareholders across layers and jurisdictions, and the ultimate beneficial owners computed against the threshold that applies.
Monitoring and alerts
Follow the companies that matter to you and be told when their status, officers, owners or filings change.
API
The same data in your own systems, with webhooks for changes. Opening first to early-access users.

Coverage, register by register
NODE ID is built to read official registers directly where it can, and to rely on a third-party provider elsewhere. Connections are being rolled out, and the depth of data depends on each register and its access rules.
- Europe: national company registers, read directly wherever an official machine-readable source exists.
- Saudi Arabia and Singapore: official register data, with a third-party provider alongside.
- United Arab Emirates: company data through a third-party provider, and ownership declared by the company with its consent.
- Other countries: through a third-party data provider, with depth varying by country.
- Worldwide: LEI records from GLEIF to link entities across borders.
- Russia and Belarus: not connected, because of sanctions.
Facts and evidence. The decision stays yours.
NODE ID supplies company facts, ownership and the evidence behind them. It does not accept or reject your customers, and it does not replace sanctions screening: those decisions stay with your compliance team.
