Kyckr

Live access to official company and UBO registers through one API

Overview

Kyckr was founded in Waterford, Ireland, in 2007 as Global Business Register, rebranded and moved its headquarters to Australia in 2016–2017, and was acquired by the Australian investment firm Realwise in 2022[29]. It sells access to official company registers through a REST API and web portal.

Kyckr states that it connects to more than 300 company registers in more than 100 countries, covering about 200 million companies[28]. Its ownership discovery traces ultimate beneficial owners across borders using shareholder data from official government sources[28], and its UBO register product retrieves official declarations live from national beneficial-ownership registers, date-stamped at the point of request and carrying the source register and jurisdiction, with no scoring or inference; Kyckr handles eligibility for obliged entities with a legitimate interest, using the customer’s own credentials where a register demands it[39]. Ongoing monitoring tracks new and removed directors and shareholders, capital changes and registration changes, with event-driven notifications through the API[30]. Kyckr data is integrated with LexisNexis, Strise, Alloy, S&P Global, Dotfile and Spektr[28].

Billing is usage-based per call with no minimums, but rates are not published[28]. Kyckr does not describe sanctions screening, and live retrieval depends on the availability of each register. It suits compliance teams and platforms that want the official record rather than a derived answer.
