EBSI helps financial institutions, platforms, registries, and SMEs issue and verify business identity, authority, and compliance credentials through a shared European trust layer.
Trusted by institutions across Europe
When SMEs seek funding, open accounts, or engage with new counterparties, they often need to provide the same company information, ownership evidence, and signatory authority multiple times.
EBSI helps trusted business information move between approved actors and systems, reducing repeated document collection and supporting more efficient onboarding.
Legal entity information, registry data, and corporate authority are often structured differently across Member States.
EBSI enables a shared trust layer between national registries, financial institutions, and onboarding systems, helping counterparties verify business information across jurisdictions without replacing the systems that already hold it.
