THE RELATIONSHIP
Where Global Database fits
Global Database’s published customer story describes LSEG implementing its API for automated KYB verification during customer onboarding.
THE IDENTITY GAP
Why name-only checks fail.
Manual entity checks slow onboarding when analysts must reconcile legal names, registration numbers and country records across separate sources.
THE VAT VERIFICATION ROLE
Establish the company before the wider decision.
VAT verification adds a useful identity signal: the submitted number can be matched to a legal entity and reviewed beside the registration number, registered address and company status.
THE WORKFLOW
Four steps from input to evidence.
- 01
Capture
Collect the company name, country and VAT or tax identifier at the start of onboarding.
- 02
Resolve
Match those inputs to the most likely official company record.
- 03
Compare
Return the legal name, registration number, address and source-reported status for review.
- 04
Escalate
Send mismatches or ambiguous records to an analyst instead of treating them as automatic failures.
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS
70% faster onboarding
That result is reported in Global Database’s published LSEG case study for the broader automated KYB process.
Read the published Global Database case studyVAT matching alone did not produce the published 70% result. It is one company-identity input within the wider KYB workflow.
