Coverage
Planned: EU VAT numbers checked against VIES, the European Commission's VAT information exchange system.
Planned: UK VAT, US EIN, AU ABN and CA BN formats alongside the EU VAT system.
VAT numbers registered in jurisdictions your risk policy flags, and in countries on the FATF increased-monitoring list, receive an automatic risk uplift.
Detects VAT numbers that exist in the registry but have been deregistered, revoked, or are no longer active.
Cross-validates the VAT number against the registered company name, catch name mismatches that may indicate fraud.
Planned: validate a list of VAT numbers in one batch and re-check them on a schedule.
VAT and TIN validation with jurisdiction risk scoring is in preparation. Tell us what you need it to check before your KYB pipeline.
