OpenRegistry launches Belgium KBO/CBE endpoint for live KYB data

OpenRegistry has launched an MCP endpoint for Belgium's KBO/CBE enterprise registry, aiming to simplify Know Your Business (KYB) processes for audit teams. This new service provides direct access to live, multilingual company data, including enterprise numbers, legal forms, addresses, and NACE activity codes, preserving the original registry format to avoid mismatches. The endpoint also offers officer data with details on representation powers, crucial for understanding signing authority, and filing information for tracking governance changes. However, it does not provide access to beneficial ownership data due to EU AML restrictions, nor does it function as a sanctions list or credit bureau. AI

IMPACT Streamlines Know Your Business (KYB) processes by providing direct access to live, multilingual company data from Belgium's official registry.
