Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria, the company provides entity verification, beneficial ownership (UBO) discovery, AML screening, KYB (Know Your Business) applications, and regulatory compliance services to financial institutions, compliance and risk professionals, and SaaS companies. The platform accesses data on more than 328 million companies across 305+ countries through real-time, direct connections to primary government sources including commercial registers, tax offices, beneficial ownership registers, and credit reference agencies.

The technology is delivered through an API-first architecture featuring a REST API, developer portal, console (V1 and V2), sandbox environment, and JavaScript SDK. Core technical components include structured data sets (Full, Refresh, Super) for varying depth and freshness requirements, KYB applications integrated into compliance stacks, AML screening, and Immutable Audit Trail Services based on distributed ledger technology. The platform supports multilingual document retrieval from official country sources with English and German cover pages, plus professional translation services for official documents.

Revenue is generated through three streams: subscription-based commercial packages (Entry, Basic, Advanced, Enterprise tiers) with minimum 12-month terms; usage-based API calls with bespoke per-call pricing; and transaction-fee document and report sales priced at €0.20 to €150 per document depending on tier. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting compliance and risk buyers with a self-service developer portal and free sandbox for product-led evaluation. Since March 2022, kompany has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO) under the legal entity Moody's Analytics Austria GmbH, with cross-referral into Moody's broader KYC solutions portfolio.
