KYC API: Upcoming changes to our connection to the Australian register
Posted 2025-05-30
|
Updated 2025-06-06
Summary
We would like to inform you that we have scheduled the implementation of the following changes to our connection with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and Australian Business Register (ABR) on KYC API, available with the 25th of June 2025’s release.
Data improvements
We are pleased to share details of the upcoming updates to datasets, including the addition of new fields and enhancements to existing ones. The first field applies to KYC API v1, whereas the second field is relevant to KYC API v2. If only one field is presented, it is applicable to both versions, unless indicated otherwise.
Refresh dataset
New fields
- extradata.otherNames / additionalData.otherNames.tradingNames (for ABR companies)
- extraData.registrationDate / content.additionalData.legalEvents.registrationDate
Enriched fields
- legalForm / content.legalForm
- extradata.oldNames / content.additionalData.otherNames.oldNames
- extraData.providedStatus / content.providedStatus
- content.additionalData.subclass (KYC API v2)
Super dataset
New fields
- people.officer.startDate / content.associatedEntities.officers.startDate
- associatedEntities.officer.placeOfbirth (KYC API v2)
Enriched fields
- legalForm / content.legalForm
- extraData.providedStatus / content.providedStatus
- people.officer.isCorporate / associatedEntities.officer.isCorporate
- content.additionalData.subclass (KYC API v2)
Data refinement
Updated address format
To enhance our data quality, uphold product integrity, and improve the user experience, we are implementing the following modifications to the addresses displayed for the Australian register. We will introduce the field “addressLine1” where “addressLine2” is currently shown. Additionally, all instances of “addressLine2” will be removed from KYC API v2. Please refer to the details below regarding the affected fields:
Additional fields to KYC API v1 and KYC API v2
- formattedAddress.addressLine1 / content.additionalData.contactInformation.formattedAddress.addressLine1
- people.officer.address / content.associatedEntities.officers.additionalAssociatedEntityData.formattedAddress.addressLine1
- people.shareholder.address / content.associatedEntities.shareholders.additionalAssociatedEntityData.formattedAddress.addressLine1
Removed fields from KYC API v2
- additionalData.contactInformation.formattedAddress.addressLine2
- associatedEntities.officers.additionalAssociatedEntityData.formattedAddress.addressLine2
- associatedEntities.shareholders.additionalAssociatedEntityData.formattedAddress.addressLine2
Adjustment of legal events
To improve data accuracy, we have decided to utilize registrationDate as field name instead of incorporationDate for Australia as it more accurately reflects the mapped value. To minimize disruption for clients using KYC API v1, we will continue to display the incorporationDate in KYC API v1. Furthermore, to maintain product integrity, the incorporationDate will be removed from KYC API v2.
Conforming shareholder type
Aligned with this approach, the content.associatedEntities.shareholders.additionalAssociatedEntityData.type field will be excluded entirely from KYC API v2 to ensure consistency and clarity in data handling. Moving forward, we will use the enhanced logic of the isCorporate field to deliver this information. This feature is now included in this release for your convenience.
Please find the before and after responses per dataset below. Kindly note that the example companies mentioned are fictitious, and the availability of data fields in the mock-up is subject to the specific requirements of legal forms.
