Kyckr Limited

What Kyckr Limited does

Kyckr Limited operates a unified global corporate registry data platform branded "The Global Business Register," providing live connections to more than 300 official company registers across 100+ countries covering over 200 million companies. The platform is built on a single REST API that normalises heterogeneous registry schemas (e.g., Companies House, KVK, CVR) into one predictable JSON/XML format, with every record time-stamped and tagged with the named official source. Product modules include Company Register Data (structured profiles, Enhanced Profile feature, Lite Company Profiles sub-product), Company Register Filings (original document retrieval), UBO Verify (automated cross-border beneficial ownership unwrapping), Ongoing Monitoring / Perpetual KYC (event-driven change monitoring), Data Remediation (batch cleansing of customer back-books against live registers), and Business Verification (KYB onboarding use case). The platform is delivered via a SaaS web portal (portal.kyckr.com) and developer portal (developer.kyckr.com), supporting both self-service and enterprise integration into AML workflows.

The company serves AML-obliged entities — primarily banks, fintechs (including EMIs and PSPs), and law firms — that require authoritative, audit-defensible KYB and UBO data to satisfy FATF Recommendation 10, ECCTA 2023, 6AMLD, MLR 2017 and FCA Principle 3 requirements. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Book a Demo flow), a self-service API/portal motion with a limited free-search allowance, and platform integrations through distribution partners including Experian (flagship), Strise, and Spektr. Revenue is generated through subscription SaaS/API access (Standard and Enterprise terms), usage-based per-search pricing, professional services for bespoke data remediation projects, and partner/platform licensing. The legal entity is Kyckr Ireland Limited (company number 436024), registered in Waterford, Ireland, with additional offices in the UK, Ireland and Australia; the business is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Reported operational milestones include reaching profitability in 2024, 60% revenue growth in H2 2025, and 28 new obliged-entity clients onboarded in 2025.

Revenue model

1. Subscription SaaS access (API + Web portal): Customers pay recurring fees to access Kyckr's company registry data services via SaaS web portal or REST API under Standard or Enterprise Terms & Conditions; charges set out on Kyckr's Websites.
2. Usage-based / per-search pricing: Limited free searches permitted on the Kyckr Website; the system then automatically requires payment to continue using search functionality, indicating a usage-based/transactional element on top of subscriptions.
3. Professional services / data remediation projects: Specialist batch remediation projects where Kyckr's project team cleanses customer records against live registers, delivering updated profiles plus match-rate/deficiency analysis reports as one-off engagements.
4. Partner/Platform licensing: Technology integration licensing to platforms such as Experian, Strise, Spektr and screening/KYC orchestration vendors that embed Kyckr registry data into their products for their own end customers.

Direct peers

• Bureau van Dijk (Moody's): The dominant global corporate data and KYB provider, distributing official company registry information through the Orbys platform. Most direct competitor to Kyckr's 'Global Business Register' across cross-border KYB, UBO and KYC use cases for banks and obliged entities.
• ComplyAdvantage: AI-driven AML and KYC platform offering business verification and UBO screening. Direct competitor serving the same banks, fintechs and law-firm buyer base via API-first onboarding workflows.
• Sayari: Provider of corporate ownership, UBO and supply-chain risk intelligence built from official registry and government sources. Direct competitor in cross-border UBO verification for AML and sanctions-adjacent use cases.
• Trulioo: Global identity and business verification platform covering 400+ data sources. Direct competitor in API-first global KYB verification for fintechs and obliged entities, with overlapping developer-portal GTM motion.
• OpenCorporates: Open-data aggregator of official company registry records across hundreds of jurisdictions. Direct peer in the multi-jurisdiction registry-normalisation space, focused on legal-entity data transparency and KYB use cases.
• North Data: European company-register data and beneficial-ownership analytics provider. Direct peer for normalised cross-border registry data, particularly across European jurisdictions where Kyckr claims depth.

Emerging players

• Veriff: Identity and business verification platform expanding from KYC into KYB and AML risk workflows. Comparable API-first GTM to fintech and regulated entities, but with a broader identity-verification rather than registry-data focus.

Broad incumbents

• Dun & Bradstreet: Global business data and credit-decisioning incumbent with corporate hierarchy and linkage data. Overlaps with Kyckr on KYB data points but competes via a much broader data and analytics platform rather than live registry normalisation.
• Dow Jones Risk & Compliance: Provider of beneficial ownership, sanctions and risk data within a wider Dow Jones news/information portfolio. Competes on UBO and ownership data for AML, but does not specialise in live cross-border registry normalisation.
• LSEG (Refinitiv) World-Check: Incumbent KYC/AML data franchise offering entity verification, UBO data and screening as part of a much broader market data and risk suite. Competes with Kyckr inside bank compliance stacks but as part of a wider portfolio.
