OpenRegistry Offers Live SSM KYB Checks to Cut Stale Data Lag in Onboarding
OpenRegistry has launched a direct connection to Malaysia's SSM e-Info company register via MCP, enabling real-time Know Your Business checks without relying on third-party data aggregators. The tool addresses a recurring compliance problem where commercial databases carry outdated company details — such as old registered addresses — weeks after the official register has already been updated. The integration returns raw SSM data fields including company status, officer records, and filing history without reformatting, which helps audit teams cite original register language in evidence packs. However, the service covers only register data and does not include sanctions screening, PEP information, or beneficial ownership analysis, which must be sourced separately. The developers also note that document availability can be inconsistent and that Malaysia does not provide unrestricted public UBO access, reflecting a broader global narrowing of such disclosures following rulings like CJEU C-601/20.
