Kompany review 2026 — is Moody's KYC data worth it?

Kompany (kompany.com) is a Vienna-founded KYC-and-business-verification platform specialising in original commercial-register documents from ~200 jurisdictions. Acquired by Moody's in 2022, it now operates as part of Moody's Analytics KYC. Its distinctive product is real-time, court-certified filings pulled directly from national business registers.

Yes. Moody's acquired Kompany in 2022 and integrated it into Moody's Analytics KYC. The Kompany brand is still visible on the front end (kompany.com) and its RegHub product remains the go-to for real-time filings from national registers. Access is now sold via Moody's enterprise sales rather than self-serve.

Kompany does not publish self-serve pricing. Public quotes and reseller intelligence put entry KYC contracts around £5,000–£15,000/year for small teams and £50,000+ for enterprise deployments with API access and multi-jurisdiction volume. Individual document pulls sit around £30–£90 per certified filing depending on jurisdiction (kompany.com pricing page: 'contact sales', 1970-01-01).

KYC and onboarding teams at banks, fintechs, insurers, corporate service providers and law firms who need original commercial-register documents from multiple jurisdictions in real time. Also large corporates onboarding cross-border suppliers and vendors where UBO verification and certified extracts are mandatory.

Different jobs. Creditsafe is a credit bureau — ratings, trade payment data, credit decisioning at scale across ~200 markets. Kompany is a KYC data source — original register filings, UBO structures, certified extracts. Enterprise KYC stacks often use both: Creditsafe for the credit score, Kompany for the raw compliance artefacts.

DueDil (FullCircl) is UK/IE-first with a workflow-heavy onboarding platform. Kompany is jurisdiction-breadth-first with real-time original filings across ~200 registries. For UK-heavy onboarding, DueDil often wins on workflow. For cross-border KYC where 30+ jurisdictions matter, Kompany's RegHub is the reference.

Yes — UK Companies House filings are covered under the same real-time pull model. But if UK is your only market, you're paying enterprise money for what Companies House Service gives you free. Kompany earns its subscription when you also need Ireland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria and 20+ other jurisdictions at the same standard.

Kompany itself is a KYC data source, not a credit bureau — its native product is documents and UBO structures, not a proprietary credit score. Since the Moody's acquisition, credit-adjacent data is available via Moody's broader analytics stack. If you specifically want a score, Creditsafe or Moody's ratings themselves are the right entry point.

For cross-border KYC at enterprise volume: yes. Real-time, court-certified filings from ~200 registries is a genuine data moat and Moody's backing makes the product durable. For UK-only onboarding: overkill — DueDil/FullCircl or a UK-specific KYC tool costs less and covers the domestic job.

7.0/10. Best-in-class jurisdiction breadth for original register filings, real-time pull architecture and Moody's parentage. Marks lost for enterprise-only pricing, no self-serve tier and the fact that most KYC needs are UK-heavy — where cheaper tools cover the ground. Right tool for global KYC, wrong tool for local KYC.

For cross-border KYC: Bureau van Dijk / Moody's Orbis (same house, different product), Refinitiv (LSEG) Data & Analytics, and Dun & Bradstreet Compliance. For UK-only KYC: DueDil/FullCircl, Creditsafe Compliance. For free basics: Companies House Service. See our Kompany alternative page for the honest ranking.
