Overview

Beneficial ownership profiles report what a company declared to the central register of beneficial owners in its country: the parties holding ownership or control interests, the nature and size of each interest, and any statements the register makes about the declaration. Each normalised value sits alongside the register’s own text, or the register’s documented meaning of a code it sends. This release covers:
  • France: the Registre National des Bénéficiaires Effectifs (RBE)
  • Denmark: the register of beneficial owners (Reelle ejere)
To access ultimate beneficial ownership you must qualify for Legitimate Interest under the EU AML framework (AMLR). For more details, please speak to your Account Manager.

Testing

In the test environment, ordering a beneficial ownership profile returns a single anonymised, redacted profile that reflects the structure of a typical entity, so you can build the order, poll and download flow before going live.
