Regis24

What Regis24 does

Regis24 GmbH is a Berlin-based data technology company and credit agency (Wirtschaftsauskunftei) founded in 2003, operating across the DACH region (Germany plus Austria since September 2022). It sells B2B data services that re-establish broken customer contact and pre-screen credit risk, including address research, telephone and email contact research, residents'-register enquiries, historical-records enquiry, EMA prevention, address verification, and credit checks. The platform is anchored by two proprietary technology assets: IdentConnect, a patented AI-supported identity-resolution engine that detects fake identities, fake delivery addresses, account takeovers, and systematic returns fraud; and Regis HIVE, a data-pooling solution that lets clients enhance their own master data with Regis24's aggregated identity and address intelligence. Supporting modules include the TRUSTED CONTACT DATA big-data suite (used for telephone number research) and newer products IdentityCheck and DeliveryAddressCheck for real-time e-commerce checkout validation.

The technology stack is cloud-native and serverless on Amazon Web Services (AWS), with documented integrations to Schufa, German Melderegister authorities, Microsoft Bookings, and the Usercentrics consent platform. Customers access services through the kunden.regis24.de self-service portal (with batch file uploads and electronic result delivery), while consumer credit-information products (Sofortauskunft, BonitätsPass, internationaler BonitätsPass, Bonitätszertifikat) are distributed via the partner storefront itsmydata.de. Commercial reach is organised around six verticals — collection services, banking & insurance, FinTech & e-commerce, payment service providers, public transport/utilities, and real estate — supported by direct field sales into DACH and a self-serve portal for SMBs and individual consumers.

The company employs approximately 70 people, raised a seven-figure convertible loan (around €1.6M) to fund its DataTech repositioning, and is led by CEO Urs Bader (since May 2019), CTO Hendrik Nehnes, CPO Steven Renwick, COO Christof Kahlert (since February 2023), and Head of Sales Gaby Kabbert. Revenue is generated primarily via per-inquiry transaction fees (service fee plus pass-through registry administrative fees), supplemented by monthly invoicing for high-volume clients and consumer one-time-license purchases, with all pricing quoted individually and not publicly disclosed.

Core offering

Regis24 GmbH is a Berlin-based German credit agency (Auskunftei) and DataTech company that sells B2B data services — address, telephone, email, identity and credit-worthiness research, plus historical-records enquiries — built on its patented AI identity-resolution technology (IdentConnect) and proprietary data-pooling platform (HIVE). The offering is delivered via direct sales and a self-serve customer portal (kunden.regis24.de) to DACH verticals such as collection, banking & insurance, FinTech/e-commerce, payment service providers, public transport & utilities and real estate, with consumer credit-info products distributed separately via itsmydata.de.

Product overview

Regis24 operates a DataTech & credit-agency platform composed of a core identity- and credit-resolution engine and a suite of modular B2B solutions rather than a single monolithic product. The architecture centres on the patented AI-supported IdentConnect identity-resolution technology and the Regis HIVE data-pooling platform, which together power a portfolio of address, identity, credit, email, telephone, and historical-records research services (CreditCheck, Address Research, Email Contact Research, Telephone Number Research, Historical Records Enquiry, EMA Prevention, AddressVerification, DeliveryAddressCheck, IdentityCheck). The Big-Data-Suite TRUSTED CONTACT DATA feeds telephone number research, while consumer-facing offerings (BonitätsPass, Sofortauskunft, Bonitätszertifikat via itsmydata.de, plus the Article-15 Selbstauskunft) complement the B2B suite. Customers access the services through the kunden.regis24.de self-service portal, which supports file uploads, batch processing, and electronic delivery of results.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Schufa: Germany's dominant consumer credit bureau and a key upstream data source for Regis24. Overlap in credit information, address research and consumer credit info (via Boniversum subsidiary); Schufa's data depth and market position make it the most consequential competitor in Regis24's core DACH market.
• Experian: Global credit bureau with a German/European footprint offering consumer and business credit reports, identity verification and fraud prevention. Comparable to Regis24 in credit checks and identity verification for FinTech, e-commerce and PSP customers, but operating at vastly greater scale and data breadth.
• Arvato Financial Solutions: Bertelsmann-owned German provider of credit risk management, debt collection, factoring and identity services. Overlaps with Regis24 in credit standing, address verification and PSD2-compliant identity checks for e-commerce, PSPs and banking clients.

Direct peers

• Creditreform: Major German business and consumer credit bureau operating a similar Wirtschaftsauskunft model. Directly comparable in address research, credit standing checks and debtor outreach services to collection agencies, banking and e-commerce clients in the DACH region.
• CRIF Bürgel: German-Italian credit information provider offering business and consumer credit reports, identity checks and address services. Closely comparable product portfolio to Regis24 across B2B credit standing, address verification and debtor outreach.
• Boniversum: German consumer credit information bureau (Schufa subsidiary) offering self-disclosure (Selbstauskunft), Boniversum-Certificate and consumer credit info products — directly comparable to Regis24's consumer-side BonitätsPass, Sofortauskunft and Bonitätszertifikat offerings distributed via itsmydata.de.

Emerging players

• Loqate (GBG): Address verification, parsing and geocoding specialist serving global e-commerce and FinTech clients. Comparable to Regis24's AddressVerification, DeliveryAddressCheck and address-normalisation capabilities, particularly for international checkout and data-quality workflows.
• Onfido: AI-driven identity verification provider serving FinTechs, e-commerce and PSPs across Europe. Directly comparable to Regis24's IdentityCheck and IdentConnect fraud-prevention positioning, particularly for real-time online checkout and onboarding use cases.
• Veriff: Identity verification specialist serving global FinTechs, mobility and e-commerce. Overlaps with Regis24's IdentityCheck and DeliveryAddressCheck use cases for online merchant fraud and onboarding, though Veriff operates globally rather than DACH-focused.

Regional players

• Deltavista (ImmoScout24 group): European address and identity data specialist focused on Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Closely comparable to Regis24's address-research, EMA-prevention and master-data quality offerings for e-commerce, real estate and collection-sector clients in DACH.
