02 — The shared graph

What changes with a shared graph.

/ ACCELERATE CLIENT ONBOARDING

Connect name and address to legal entity and beneficial ownership in one step.

/ REVEAL HIDDEN RELATIONSHIPS

Reveal links among organizations, people, locations, and subsidiaries to speed fraud and AML investigations.

/ AUTOMATE INVESTIGATIONS

Enhanced matching with additional reference IDs, historical names and addresses.

/ STRENGTHEN AUDIT READINESS

Embedded provenance and immutable change history simplify regulatory compliance from day one.

03 — Ongoing, not point-in-time

Always-current, not point-in-time.

OpenData.org tracks entity changes: names, addresses, structure, officers. Profiles stay current and trigger review automatically. Ongoing compliance, not a one-time check.

04 — The payment lifecycle

Payments and fintech.

One canonical entity ID carries a merchant through the entire payment lifecycle: onboard, verify, transact, monitor, investigate. Resolve once, reuse everywhere.

The FINOS connection.

FINOS, the Linux Foundation standards body for open source in financial services, brings canonical counterparty identification to its member institutions: less reconciliation, cross-firm interoperability, and agent-ready financial data.

Built in the open. Grown by its members.
