Legal Entity Data
Mobius’s Legal Entity Data Services are designed to help our clients uniquely identify entities that are involved in financial transactions or otherwise need to be tracked for risk and compliance purposes. Our services provide build, cleanse, enrich and maintenance services for new or existing entity databases.
How to Uniquely Identify a Legal Entity
The sheer number of entity identifiers available around the globe make it challenging to truly uniquely identify a legal entity. Mobius believes that identifiers should be coupled with additional detailed information about an entity to help round out its profile and ultimately ensure it is uniquely identified. Mobius can define which attributes are recommended for uniquely identifying legal entities - or we can work with/enhance an existing meta data model.
The below list represents the attributes we recommend as critical for uniquely identifying entities. We collect this data on behalf of our clients, using agreed primary sources, and build and maintain accurate legal entity databases.
- Registration & Related Details - Official Name, Official Name Effective from date, Registration Authority, Registration Number, Date of Incorporation, Organization Status & type, Year Founded, Registered address, HQ address, Tax Authority, Tax File ID, Primary Regulator, Primary Regulator ID
- Corporate Hierarchy - Immediate Parent, Ultimate Parent, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Joint Ventures with stake holdings and hierarchy levels
- Identifiers - Global and vendor specific identifiers
