APIs and Data

The person search searches a variety of registers and databases to gather the most relevant information about the person you need to verify. You gain access to data from the population register, PEP and sanctions lists, business roles, and evidence of electronic identification.

You can identify and authenticate a person digitally without the need for in-person attendance, and the information required for customer due diligence is automatically retrieved and compiled.

To conduct customer due diligence on a company, you need information from many sources, both to find details about the company itself and the individuals in key roles within the company. With Stø, you can save time and manual work by automatically gathering information into the tool you’re already using. You get access to, among other things:

• Signing authority and powers of attorney
• Roles within the company (CEO, board members, managing directors, etc.)
• Financial information and company registration certificate
• Sanctions against the company
• Registers the company is registered in (e.g., VAT register)
• Overview of beneficial owners

Before making payments, you can verify if the customer is the owner of the provided account number. This serves both as a quality check to ensure the correct account is used before disbursement, helping to avoid mistakes, and to detect if funds are intentionally being transferred to another party (e.g., for a nominee).

Similarly, account verification is used before initiating withdrawals (incoming payments), both as a quality check on the correct account and as part of the due diligence on the source of funds.

Many, such as real estate agents, are required to perform this verification.

With an ownership map specifically designed for anti-money laundering work, you get a complete overview even in complex structures.

The ownership map visualizes ownership structures based on data from a collection of public registers and includes supplementary data, source references, and export options.

You are obligated to stay updated on beneficial owners and ownership structures. Stø KYC monitors all the businesses you have checked and sends a monthly report with significant changes to your clients since your last data retrieval. You can receive the reports both via email and as structured data (JSON) delivered to your API endpoint.

Upload and send all types of documents in PDF format for signing with BankID. The service supports multi-document signing, allowing you to upload multiple PDF files and have them signed in the same operation. The solution provides a clear user interface to track the status of all signatories, and all documents include a visible stamp with the date on each individual signature.

The self-declaration is the most important data source for knowing your customer.

That’s why we offer a customized KYC questionnaire with the ability to upload necessary documentation directly.

The form is sent to your customer to clarify the purpose of the business relationship, the source of funds, potential PEP status, geographical factors, complex ownership structures, who the beneficial owners are, and other relevant questions.
