Company Identification

The Company Identification screen helps you to find the SME company's identification details in an automated way. The solution incorporates an endpoint that calls the API to bring data from an external source. Such an external source can be the Companies House Connector. This connector queries the Companies House database to find public information about companies in the United Kingdom. However, the solution can accommodate any other third-party software, this is one such software integration developed by FintechOS.

IMPORTANT!
The connector is not included in the package. Download it separately. See Installation for details.

To identify the company, choose one of the two methods:

by adding the company identification number

or
by adding the IBAN, if the SME already has an account with the bank, i.e. Open Banking.

Identify by Company Identification Number

For this query to be made, add either the company identification number or the company name. Press Next to begin the query.

Confirm your company

The page Confirm your company is displayed. It shows the data found on the company: Based on the information you've entered, we've identified the following result. Is this your company? ABC company. Show more details. If you need assistance, please contact our call center: +0000000000

After the query is made, the connector returns the following information:

Company Name
Incorporated on (date of incorporation).

NOTE
If there is no match in Companies House, an error message is displayed: Company not found, please make sure the Company Identification Code is correct.

Tap Show more details to display additional information about the company, such as:

This data is read-only, nonetheless, it is paramount that you read it to make sure that the system identified the right SME, as it is possible for multiple companies to be named the same and have similar identification data. These details help you to select the correct SME that you are representing.

Click Next to display the page Company Role. If the company identified is not right, click on the back arrow at the top left-hand of the screen.

Identify by IBAN Number

As an alternative to scanning the ID document, Open Banking is an option available. It shortens the time for filling in manually data.

IMPORTANT!
The Open Banking section has not been developed. Configure it as needed.
